'03 Yukon Mod Progress

[DPGDirk]

Here's my '03 Yukon 4x4 when I bought it:

Here's where I'm at so far:

First, we removed the door trim and debadged it. Then, I shot the front grill, both bumpers and side mirror caps in black Plasti-Dip.

Sprayed the rear tailights and front lower turn/marker lights with Rustoleum Lens tint.

Swapped on some Ion Alloy 20x9 wheels with 275/55R20 BFG Rugged Terrain tires.

Made a big difference from stock. I'm liking the overall look.

Still to come:
2" lowering/leveling kit in back. (I don't wanna lower it much more than that as I live in the country and need the ground clearance and 4WD for the winter- although I really do like the lowered look of these trucks.

Pull those ugly amber refelectors out of the headlights.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Haven't done anything to the interior. Don't really know what can be done there...

The black accents give it a mean look. I like it.

Did you tint your rear bumper? lol It looks like smoked chrome. Very nice changes though!

Thanks! Back bumper was also sprayed with Plasti-Dip.

The light in that photo just makes it look a bit different...

Don't do the 2"torsion drop it will ride like crap! Do a 2/3 spindle drop trust me.

Not planning to do a 2" drop in front- just the rear.

If it ends up a smidge low in back, I may drop the torsion bars a half inch or so.
Not looking to slam it- just level it a bit...

Yes. Yes, I do.

Trying hard to refrain for now. My road does not get maintained well in winter.
I have a lifted Cherokee that will handle it no problem...BUT- if I drive it during the winter, my WIFE will be driving my yukon!

Crappy pic and she was dusty, but here's the stance after the McGaughys 2" rear drop/leveling kit was installed:

I'm leaving it just like that...

The headlights, just color match your amber to your paint. That would give your headlights a different look

That might be interesting. The amber lenses are inside the headlight housing, so I don't know how body color would look. Have you seen anyone do that?

Was thinking of removing the amber lenses and going clear.
