Was size rims do you have

Hi all. Just bought a 2016 Yukon Denali AWD. This is my third Yukon. My others were stock but this one I plan to do some work on. My plan is to build a Yukon GT if GMC built one today. I’ve already installed new Magride shocks and a MaxTrac 2/3 drop (see pic). Mechanical mods in the works include a lumpy cam, long tubes and exhaust. On the outside I’m going to do a little debadging and dechroming. I also have a plan to replace the Denali grille.

I looked forever for a truck with retractable boards but I couldn’t find one in my budget. I would like to remove these Dumbo-ear fixed running boards and replace them with just side skirts but they don’t exist. So I may end up trying to convert to factory retractable boards. I work at a GM dealership so there’s a chance I can get the parts and have access to the expertise to do it. Any advice would be appreciated!

What size wheels ?

Hi everyone. Sorry for the delay on the update but life‘s been a bit crazy. I did a Texas Speed stage I cam, stainless long tubes, Magnaflow exhaust, and a cold air kit. The truck runs way quicker even in the base tune that I have now. However I can only drive in tow/haul mode. The converter doesn’t like the low rpm’s. It has a dyno appointment on the 22nd so I’m sure they’ll iron it out. It also needs to go to an exhaust shop. The 3 1/2 inch exhaust taps on the crossmember and the steering shaft a little bit. They are going to clearance it for me. And they’re going to hack off this ridiculous sewer pipe exhaust tip that came on the resonator and put just a standard turn down on it. I also did a little window tinting and de-badged it. Added a couple to the back too .

(PROJECT) Yukon GT

Hi all. A little intro-I just bought a 2016 Yukon Denali AWD. This is my third Yukon. My others were stock but this one I bought specifically to do some work on. My plan is to build a Yukon GT if GMC built one today. I’ve already installed a Texas Speed LT1 cam with AFM delete and phase...

Welcome to the forum. You are correct this is a great forum. I've been around awhile and have owned many different brands and have been part of numerous forums. This forum is by far one of the best forums I have been a part of - so much knowledge and willingness to help. You will learn so much about your new purchase.
