Introduction & Current 05 Yukon XL Project

[Tonyrodz]

I will post the sound-clip of the exhaust when I have time. In the coming months I'll be replacing the stock wheels and tires. I'm going with 20inch GMC Snowflake wheels. Not sure on the tires yet... BFG K02's or Nitto Grapplers probably.

I also realized my Autoride system is shot. Shocks are blown (shredded looking actually lol) and the compressor is burnt out. I'm going to do an Autoride delete and replace with passive shocks (Bilsteins).

LED's are in the works for the Fogs, DRLs, and Parking lights. And I'm replacing the highs/lows with Osram Night-Breaker Unlimited bulbs.

I actually have all the bulbs and plan on swapping everything out this weekend. I'll try to get picks of it all. It'll probably be March before I swap out the shocks, but I'll try to take pics of that stuff too.



Here's the wheels:

I think this is the 22 inch version. These are GM.

Looks something like them for sure, maybe thats where the style came from, the ones he wants is the gmc replicas, i believe norcal sells them.

Yea I was getting confused as well when gm started making 4 or 5 different very similar styles within like 2 years of production

Ok, gotcha. Friend of a friend had these in his Z71. There was a big gap between the fender and tire, but they looked really good!

Here's the wheels on eBay... You can find them from $600 to $1000. This is just the first set I came across just now to show you guys.

Also, here's the wheels on a Sierra. They wont look exactly the same, since they don't have black on them, but it gives you an overall idea.

Ok guys, I finally got the LED's put in. They look pretty sweet, but I'll have to wire in resistors or buy a flasher relay to eliminate the hyperflash on the turn signals. Also, I swapped out my stock bulbs with the Osram Nightbreaker Ultimate bulbs... BIG difference. Brighter and whiter. I took a quick video so you could hear the Flowmaster Super 40 as well. I just swapped it with the stock muffler. I'm still using the stock pipe and I added a chrome 3 1/2inch slash cut tip.
