I moved my Yukon XL out of the way so I could install the new lights on my dad's Sierra:

New lights :

Bottom light is just like mine, but the CHMSL is hook up to the trailer light wires.
It has 11 LEDs. The center LED and the two on the ends glow for parking lights, and the four in between on each side are the receptive brake/turn lights.

No one will be able to say they couldn't see his lights... :D

Replaced my climate control. On the old one, the driver's side temp knob didn't work worth a crap. Didn't matter how you spun it, it wouldn't control the temperature correctly. It had a couple burned out bulbs also. The new one I found on EBay. Blue LEDs to match the instrument gauge cluster that I put in a couple months ago.

$150 difference between a set of 4 33s vs a set of 4 34s. I'm kinda leaning towards the 34s because I love the stuffed look. With a 3 inch level lift those will fit nice and tight.

33.8" for the 305's vs 32.7" for the 285's - the 305's should fit without any problems, IF your wheel width and offset is correct.

I'm looking at a used set of 275/65/20's to throw on my Denali 20's, 34.1" if new. Figure they'll fit with just my keys/springs/blocks, because they aren't nearly as wide as 35x12.50's (just under 11"). Once I see how much clearance I have with them, then I'll decide if I want to put the body lift I have on and step up to 35's.

Installed a 3rd brake light flasher, got a new key cut, and programmed a new key fob. Now that I've replaced my key and key fob, maybe Walmart will call and say someone turned in my original. I wouldn't mind having 3 sets.

How is that this installed I want to put one on my Yukon but I'm lost about which one to get and how to install. I'm assuming if I can get the right one it'll be self explanatory

They're more for off-road use for bump steer and what not. You won't really notice a difference on the blacktop.
I have a 6in RC suspension lift so I got mine through Rough Country bc of that. They also have one for normal ride height but BDS, Fabtech and all the other guys sell them too.

As far as installation they just bolt on to your centerlink with a bracket and u-bolts. Pretty much anyone should be able to do it themselves

Installed NGK TR6 plugs in place of the TR7's that Whipple spec'd. So far the truck fires up instantly again instead of having to crank it a few seconds. Maybe the TR7's were too cold, that's 2 heat ranges colder than stock.

Running bigger wheels and tires like 24s can feel like offroading on the street. A lot of guys run them for street use too. Doesn't seem to hurt and my truck tracks straight even on rough roads. I'm running the KYB one. I'm also running HD Heiman links from FFR Fabrication instead of weak factory tierods.

I tried a little bit of touch up paint on my front bumper to see if it would help with the scuffs on it:

I put my bumper sticker on the rear window:

And I got nosy about the mirror bolt spacing on my dad's GMT400, and it looks like it's the same as the GMT800:

If I hadn't cut the wires off my old mirrors, I could have probably put them on his truck.
