    Overland Rebuild of 2015 Yukon XL w/200k Miles and a blown tranny @ $9500

    Yeah I felt like it was a bargain. The body and interior were surprisingly clean. Seemed like whoever owned it took good care of it. I bought it from the second owner who had bought it a month before and the transmission went out and he couldn’t afford to fix it so he dumped it.

    That’s awesome. Yeah he’s been a wealth of information and help. I’ve been buying everything I can through him

    Mid travel or long travel Yukon Xl?

    The geometry I’m not real sure about. I do know based on my conversation with the owner of baseline Overland who is running that exact same set up in the back that it seems to do very well. It’s about a 3 inch lift overstock. He sent me pictures of the airbag that goes inside of the spring. The...

    Mid travel or long travel Yukon Xl?

    I just realized on my phone it didn’t show that the rack and pinion was only for the hydraulic era vehicles. A quick phone call just confirmed that they do not make a replacement rack and pinion for the 2015. But they do make a conversion kit to go back to hydraulic and then you can use their...

    Overland Rebuild of 2015 Yukon XL w/200k Miles and a blown tranny @ $9500

    We have put about 13,000 miles on the new build in the last 3 to 4 months. It’s a lot of fun to drive. I’ve had a couple friends get into Overlanding recently and I think I caught the bug. Because of my family situation we need three rows. I was debating on buying something just for...

    Overland Rebuild of 2015 Yukon XL w/200k Miles and a blown tranny @ $9500

    I took the vehicle to Advanced HP in Layton Utah. At the time I wasn’t planning to do any kind of an overland build I just knew I wanted good reliable power. Able to tow with ease and not too loud. Because of Parts back orders and machine shop delays it ended up taking almost 6 months. The...

    Overland Rebuild of 2015 Yukon XL w/200k Miles and a blown tranny @ $9500

    This all started about 2 years ago when I decided I was tired of all the issues I was having with our nearly new vehicles and the ridiculous inconvenience it was creating when they would sit at the dealership for warranty issues. I'm also a power freak and decided I could save money, have more...

    Yes they keep everything the same, even the CV axles are left stock. They claim you can run 37's with some fender trimming. I don't really have a desire to go bigger than 35's at most. Thats good to know! I've been debating between a soft shell and hard shell. I think I'm leaning that way now...

    Mid travel or long travel Yukon Xl?

    After double checking It looks like I have the 3.42. But I do want to do an air locker on mine. I'm trying to see if I can possibly have either a limited slip or locker put on the front. So far no luck but have been told a gear shop may be able to do a swap on the front to a different gear case...

    Mid travel or long travel Yukon Xl?

    Thanks for taking all the time to respond with such detail! I figured right off the bat I would clarify which suspension kit I’m doing from Izzy fab. I decided to do their mid travel kit. it does not extend width at all. But it does move the front wheels forward 1 inch. It comes with upper...

    Perfect, I am going to go with the king shocks so I will reach out to filthy.

    Mid travel or long travel Yukon Xl?

    That’s the confirmation I was hoping for. Thank you. I’m pretty set on the Izzy kit now. And I am planning to build this into a full-fledged Overlander vehicle so it’s definitely going to see a lot of dirt. Does he do a pretty good job tuning those or do I need to have it tuned after...

    What tent is that? Also, what hitch rack are you using? I like that setup!

    Mid travel or long travel Yukon Xl?

    Thanks for the response. Yes I've been trying to decide how big I need to go. I looked into dirt king, but the owner of Baseline Overland who is building the bumper, roof rack and rockers told me about a new kit that Izzy Fab just released. It doubles stock wheel travel with no increase of...

    Mid travel or long travel Yukon Xl?

    Izzy Fab has a kit that comes with boxed uppers and lower control arms with a uniball and it moves the front hub forward about an inch so you can clear bigger tires. Keeps the stock track width. They also offer a full billet steering kit with billet tie rods and rack and pinion. Man I just put...
