Hello members, I recently bought a 2001 Yukon XL and still have my 2006 Tahoe PPV, I really loved my Tahoe but needed a something to fit a 8x4 sheet and now loving my new to me XL ride.
I did some simple mods
1) Changed head and tail light
2) Changed front and rear speakers, waiting for the 8 inch sub
Next I'll be moving my 20 inch LTZ from my tahoe to the Yukon XL
Next fix the aluminum rust in the back lift gate
Next Tint the front windows as I drive alot
Next Side window deflectors
Would like to remove the side molding but I saw you tube videos its a time consuming process
Repairs:
1) same day I paied for it took it to empty parkeing lot and slammed on the breaks to test them and the break peddle sank to the bottom, I offered the guy to keep upto $600 and to return the rest. I my fear it was the break line from the ABS to the rear. Well thanks to youTube I was able to replace the break line with out dropping the gas tank, It did take me a about a day and a half and nits done. Then breaks feel real line with the new stainless steel lines.
2) Fixed some bents with a guy who does paintless dent removal, 70 bucks for a 3 x 2 dent then 20 bucks for each door ding and fixed about 13 dings. After seeing him do it I could have dome it my self and its real easy, The guy was not perfect either, but better than it was.
Knowing about tahoes I bought it because the tranmision and difirentials have been rebuild all new shocks, new tires, breaks, water pump, fule pump, and he told me 5 of the break line were replaces. And the CarFax shows the accurate 127K miles. Also Front leather seat had new bottom cover.
My tahoe being a PPV is a stiffer ride but Im getting used to the XL smother ride now.
Here are some pics with the head light and tail light
