Undecided as to what wheels are going on what. I have 3 nnbs denali 20s off to the side. I might buy a rep and put on the truck and put declads on the yukon. At work we have a set gmc 6 spoke 17s I'm eyeballing as well

Saving up to get my front end redone. Need a new passenger inner tie rod and driver's UCA bushing. Want to replace everything together, what do you guys suggest? I've seen some full kits for like $160, but I figure those might not be the most reliable.

Specifically this detroit axle kit:

I was in the same boat and bought this kit on eBay a while ago. Everyone is gonna chime in and say "buy all Moog parts" but $120 for everything was hard for me to pass up. Now I'm no mechanic or suspension pro by any stretch of the imagination and I don't do any hard 4-wheelin anymore, but I'm pretty sure these parts are at least as good as the stockers. I did have to end up buying Moog lower control arms with the ball joints already pressed in only because my drivers side lower ball joint was damn near welded to the control arm and I couldn't get it to seperate for the life of me. I got both sides on Amazon (open box and in perfect condition) for like $100. I think those kits are fine, especially for the money.

Looks good. Did you use clear that had uv protection?

I did... its the 3m clear with UV protection.. didt come out as good as i would have liked.. but at least the yellow is gone. I think i should have wetsanded more

 

[Tonyrodz]

I know a detailer that wet sands them and then buffs them out. He doesn't even clear it, and they look great. Did you buff them out first before clearing them?

 

[igell]

i tried to buff them by hand after i cleared them.. if you dont clear them they will turn yellow again within a year.

Electric buffer works much better. Depending where you live, they could yellow in less then 6 months.

Was that a police Tahoe?

Installed some blue LED’s in the center console clock on the Escalade, was as simple as removing the old bulbs from the socket and twisting them back in, match the rest of the interior switches nicely the camera doesn’t do it justice

Please excuse my ignorance, but what's the barn door mod? Did you switch a liftgate for barn doors? Is that even possible?

No, he's talking about adding aftermarket tail lights to his barn door equipped Tahoe. There aren't many options out there for those guys, so lights need to be slightly modified to work for them.

Damn.. I got excited for a second thinking I could swap my liftgate for barn doors..
