2004 Yukon XL Project

[T-quila]

Okay, I'm starting to work on my yukon. First thing installed so far is an alpine and rear headrest monitors. I started on painting the front lower valance to match the rest of the truck. Which is black. Ordered wheels today. http://www.wdatlanta.com/images/martinbros/936vampirechrome.jpg , 305/35/24s. Getting a 3/5 drop kit from the DJMS vendor on this forum. Will post pic as soon as I figure out how to. We'll see how it comes out.

Am I on the right place to post progress?

 

[lyukonr]

[Tahoewhat]

yeah your in the right place. Its your thread, just keep us updated. Whens the rims and drop getting on?

Lowering kit should be in next week. The wheels were out of stock so I cancelled my order and now they're telling me I owe them a restocking fee! Can anyone explain how there's a restocking fee on wheels that weren't in stock to begin with??

LOL... sounds like they are trying to mess you over or more like they sold them instead. But i havent heard of a restocking fee if the rims were never there in the first place. Only if they were and you sent them back... IDK

 

[T-quila]

I know and I just sent them some money electronically by mistake too. Must be the April fool thing. Anyway here's some pictures of the valance before and after. The lights before and after and on the truck. What do ya'll think?











Next is some interior work, since I don't have the lowering kit or wheels YET.

 

[T-quila]

Sorry fellas. I'll try to learn how to take better pictures.

 

[lyukonr]

I've been slacking, huh? Been busy with work but, I'll get some more pics up the end of this weekend. I'm finally getting the wheels this weekend and have the drop kit just waiting to be installed.

nice!!! i cant wait to see it droped, what kind of kit are you going with??

Waiting on updates.... but was it hard to paint the valance, im thinking of doing it DIY style for now, until i get a few other things i need painted, to get it done right.
Im sure there is a write up somewhere, but... ??? ha ha.. .

It wasn't hard at all. I should have not sanded though. I used duplicolor vinyl and trim, since i didn't know exactly what to use. I'm winging most of this. Turned out good.

Here's more pictures of my progress. The back of my truck with the blue tape is where my rear view camera will go.

 

[T-quila]

more stuff painted and a couple of shots of my shop. Well, it's a one car garage and my truck won't fit in it unless I move all the junk out, but I still call it my shop.

Okay, now I'm trying some customized painting. Hey not bad with just grey tape and a spray can, right?
