Honestly I’d do a frame of resto on my current truck 2004 Escalade, I still think it’s one of the nicest looking SUV’s ever made. I would do a frame off resto repaint in Caddy white and completely color match the exterior even down to the in channel rain guards, swap in a 6.2 V8 out of a current generation Escalade but ditch the AWD and make it 2wd, full exhaust & tuned, lowered on current generation Escalade rims in black

A 6.2 in the NBS caddy would be so bitchin! Lol. I wouldn’t mind putting a new 6.2 in my truck either. I’d ditch AWD as well, but instead go for a selectable transfer case, a true 4WD. So I can turn it off in the summer when I don’t need it for snow. Lol

My dream Tahoe/Yukon SUV? Should I ever win a 100 million bucks playing the lottery:

- '06 Yukon XL Denali, fully loaded interior, w/ a 6-door conversion
- Stretched 3" front row, 3" second row, 3" third row, 5' rear cargo/4th row - long enough to do a second rear quarter glass - sumbitch would be about 25 feet long
- cut and sectioned down the middle, make it about 8" wider - would make each bucket seat 2" wider, and have an additional 4" down the middle, between the seats - about as wide as a Hummer H1
- highly worked over Duramax diesel, with an Allison transmission: I'd want to see a minimum of 1000hp and 1200 lb/ft of torque
- 10" of lift, done with airbags - don't want to need a 3-step ladder to get in/out
- 40x15.5x24 tires, on some 24x12 wheels
- similar dark navy blue paint, with metallic flip-flop in it, and dark limo tint on the windows
- full stereo system, with (8) 10" subs in an enclosure underneath the floor, probably 4000-5000 watts total, with switchable exterior marine speakers hidden underneath

And I wouldn't even worry about the cost of fuel, I'd have my own fuel pump, with direct delivery from a tanker - screw the gas stations!
DAMN

Damn you and your '06 LTZ! I wanted one of those SOOO bad when I had my '02 Burb but they were damn near impossible to find!

Thanks sideways!

Welcome, man! I'm trying to put an idea together for my dream build. Looking through all of these keeps making me make tweaks to my ideas. LOL!
