My 99 Yukon aka Big Black

[99YukonSLT]

I've had this thing for almost 4yrs now, it's my dd, baseball & kayak hauler, winter beater w/ a heater (and A/C) and general all around, do it all, vehicle. It was originally my dad's for a few years before he upgraded to a Expedition (don't ask why) and rather than him get nothing for it on trade, I bought it as I was looking for a truck and a second vehicle for the outdoors stuff I do to keep wear n tear off my subaru.

Since I got it all I've really done is basic maintenance and some very light mods.

Most recent ones from a trip I took with some buddies in SEOH a month or two ago. I can get some tonight if you want.

I got different wheels and tires than what I posted originally, removed the running boards, refinished my rear bumper that had some nasty looking rust spots on it and put in new wiring for brake lights should I ever have to haul anything. Mounted my cb radio and got it wired in, just need to have it tuned so I can start learning to use it.

Ending up going with Kumho AT51's and 16x8 AR172 Baja's in black, 0et.

Took the bumper down to bare metal as much as I could with my grinder and paint stripper, sprayed it with rust reformer and a few coats of duplicolor spray on truck bed liner, and all new hardware. - No finished pictures of that yet.

I bought a used 99 LT when my twins were born. That think was a tank, but I never had one problem with it. I do miss the 42 gallon tank
