Thank you sir!

Just a random thought, have you ever seen the 6 bar mod for the roof rack, just something i thought would fit your theme.

If you're referring to my roof rack, remember mine is a Yukon XL. I've got about 12" more "length" to my rack than yours.

I got my extra bars from my old Suburban that I wrecked. Prior to that, I had 4 bars on the 'Burb, picked them up at one of the local u-pull it yards for $10 each.

I personally did it because I occasionally carry ladders and an aluminum trim brake, I didn't ant anything hanging down between the crossbars and scratching the paint on my roof.

Yeah, I'm wanting to put my full-size spare in a basket up top, so a couple extra bars for support would be nice.

@HiHoeSilver @BigDaddy13440 It's hanging out on the green truck for now. I had it on Bertha before, but she was way lower and it just didn't look right:

I kinda like the black hood.

Looks cool.

It's getting painted soon, but I might think about leaving the center black, like a lot of jeeps do.

Speaking of Texas sized, she finally got up in the air today. Supreme suspension 3 inch level, Z71 springs, bilstiens in all 4 corners, and 285/70R17 Treadwright Guard Dogs on Silverado work truck rims. I'll try to get better pics in the morning.

I agree wholeheartedly

I don't know why I didn't think of that before, you're a genius man!

Also I saw the big girl's twin out in Leakey Texas this morning and had to take a few pics.

Yours is better!

Haha I appreciate it. I think he used the money he saved on doing his mods right to get more expensive rims and tires lmao
