2009 Yukon SLT

[3linkedchevy]

New member, joined to pick the brains of the lowered gurus when I get to that point.

Just picked up this 2009 Yukon SLT a couple of weeks ago. Was bone stock and a 1 owner, which was a major bonus for me, even though the miles were higher than I would have hoped for. All I have done is remove the steps and all the badging/moulding. It will be getting tinted in a couple weeks while we are back in CA visiting, most likely getting tuned as well.

The day we got it....


And as of Black Friday....


Plans are for a 2/4ish drop and some simple clean 22s

Welcome.

Here are a couple great looking lowered rides to give you that inspiration and push to lower yours.

Thanks for the use of the pics.

I think I am pretty set on going this route, already have wheels picked out and hope to hear from a friend if he can get them or not.

Well the HIDs (DDM Ultra 55w 4500k) came in yesterday, hoping to get them installed some time tomorrow after I get my other truck aligned and the new wheels/tires put on. I will do a halogen vs. HID picture comparison as well.

Alright, got the HIDs in this afternoon, what a chore that is to get the housings out.... I REALLY appreciate how easy the 99-06 headlamps were to get out!

First 2 pictures are halogen (top) vs. HID (bottom) low beams, second 2 pictures are halogen (top) vs. HID (bottom) high beams.










As you can tell in the back drop, I took the halogen pictures later at night, the sky isn't as dark in the HID pictures. I was apparently further back in the HID pictures than I was in the halogen pictures.

I am happy with how they look and seem to be brighter thus far. I will really be able to notice on the drive back to CA in a couple of weeks.

Well got to drive this thing to California and back this past week, thing did amazing. Set the cruise at 80 and got over 20mpg pretty consistently. Had the windows tinted while I was out there at the same place that has done all my other trucks.

5% on all of them and 50% on the windshield.



And a random sunset on the way home yesterday.

Also, the interior LEDs showed up right after I left last week, so I was able to get them in today.

Got the Belletech 2/4 drop on this weekend. Pretty happy with how it sits, just need to get it aligned next weekend, and then get some wheels and tires.

Good stance. Nice to see this truck still getting some love. Be good to see with the wheels and tires.

Thanks, overall plan with this thing is very minimal, and for the most part it's about there. My main priority is getting my prerunner done..... and that thing eats up alot of moneh
