Hey guys, I'm new here, my name is Zach. Been lurking for a while and finally decided to start a thread. Anyways, I found this place after I bought my 2004 Tahoe back in October.

I've had many NBS pickups, this being the last one I sold right after getting the Tahoe. Not new to GMs, but new to SUVs.

This is what became of that Tahoe a month ago. Bent frame, buckled roof, the whole 9 yards

So that led me to purchasing this Silver Birch 2004 GMC Yukon SLT. LT3, DL3s, sunroof, leather, dual power seats, 3.42s, L59, everything but captains 2nd row, TV, and a locker. Still even had the cargo net. Looks and drives like 100k, actually had 180k. Definitely garage kept and little old lady owned

-Paint lower valence black
-LED bar in lower valence

The Tahoe caught hell in that wreck! Hopefully everyone was unhurt. That's a clean looking Yukon, nice find!

Started debadging today, might demold tomorrow if I can talk myself into it. Found out the passenger door has had some paintwork done and it looks like they painted around everything, so I'm scared of taking off the molding

Thankfully I was leaving work when that happened so no wife or daughters in the truck. I'm almost back to normal but had quite a bit of tissue damage. Still fighting some pain in right foot thanks to slamming the brake pedal but otherwise I'm ok. Thanks!

Going to look awesome man...I shall keep my eyes peeled for mods. I wouldn't demold, because you don't want to have to spend money fixing repaint or ****** work.

BTW I have all the harnesses and adapters for BOSE and steering wheel controls.

Bummer on the tahoe. But it looks like it kept you pretty safe. Nice find on the yukon. Good looking truck. Same color as mine.

Glad to see you're safe and sound and ready to mod with a new ride.
Lots to do, in for progress.
****** news about the paint but on the bright side chrome really compliments that color really well.

Maybe painted nnbs side moldings and letters
