Converting Tahoe Shell into Trailer- Ideas for trailer tongue?

hey folks, I am either about to purchase a Tahoe for parts, or use my parts sierra for this project.

I am wanting to take the shell of my Tahoe/Sierra and drop the front axle, drop the front clip, basically strip it to the frame on the engine bay. and put a trailer tongue on the frame.

Now its worth mentioning I have no idea how to weld, nor do I know much about about weight capacities beyond what I can research normally.

My idea is to bolt on a beefy trailer tongue, and I imagine I might need a weight distribution hitch possibly.

No drivetrain, insides stripped out, no front end parts, so probably a good 1500lbs maybe 2000lbs lost. so that leaves the trailer at around 4000lbs(?)

What I don’t know is how much weight would be on the rear bumper of towing vehicle, if I want 10% on tongue that’s only 400lbs-ish.

Anyways, any insight would be appreciated, as this is relatively new territory for my rednecking experience.

thank you!!!

2 Wire Connection by Hood Release Identification??

I am trying to identify what this two lead wire leads to inside the cab of my Suburban. 

On my 2005, it’s has a yellow and white wire, leads to the interior fuse block, and then on the other end it leads to the main wiring harness going along the floorboards. 

On my 2004, it is unplugged and doesn’t exist. Wondering if it’s the lead for the Traction Control, since my 2004 doesn’t have it, but the 2005 does have it. 

Thank you!

New update erased progress??

Okay so I was playing pretty consistently back in April, went from Level 1 to like 28, and I was having a good time.

i come back today and all my progress is gone, they’ve changed a bunch of stuff, and now I don’t even have my favorite weapon the slugger, now I’m stuck with some gay gun or big hammer.

so like am I missing something? I read the update notes and don’t see anything related.

Edit: okay upon further reading apparently this was planned which sucks because I didn’t get the memo. is the slugger still in game? I really liked that weapon :(
