'12 Escalade Premium Bumper on '08 Suburban *PICS INSIDE*

[THE YETI]

Might part it out Felix.

I misread your post. Thought u said u wanted the Burb. Was parting it out if it doesnt sell, which means all the parts are compatible with ur rides. (wheels, drop, brakes, etc)

S-I-C-K. Enough said

I really like that back bumper but I cant afford to lose the spare with all the driving I do... Hmmm

 

[THE YETI]

in all my 18 years of driving, I have used my spare maybe once, and that was a looooooong time ago. I understand the "insurance" behind it, but if I am planning on a long trip, I can always just throw a spare in the cargo area if I really want to. Otherwise, I live/work/hang out so close to home that if I had a blow out, I'd just have someone come help. And as another member mentioned, my spare won't fit on my Wilwood brakes anyhow.

I drive A LOT for work, probably 25k miles a year, and I need the cargo space for miscellaneous stuff. If I buy this I was thinking about making a block off plate where the exhaust would come through so it doesnt just look like an empty hole with nothing there.

Id be concerned about the transfer of heat from the exhaust pipe to the chrome extension, then to the bumper itself. Could cause paint peel or warping of the bumper.

I wouldn't be running the exhaust to bumper at all lol. I would basically be hidding it somewhere underneath and filling in the extension pieces so it didn't just look like an empty hole.

Well, thats interesting I guess. Just for aesthetics?

Some of my favorite holes are empty.

Exactly. I like the look but cant be without a spare. So that would be the only way to do it.

P/N's added to 1st post.

 

[Juniorss]

Does the step pad come with the bumper or is that a separate piece?

 

[THE YETI]

Different part. Same one on the Denali, escalade, and ltz.

 

[Obsession203]

I must say that whole setup looks amazing. I am really tempted to buy the bumper now

 

[zona]

wow that looks sick!

Do you have a P/N for that. I have a LT so I would have to get one off of one of those trucks.

Not off hand.

... (There is also a bracket that holds the hitch cover on, I don't have that PN on my desk at the moment)...

I wonder if this hitch cover (and bracket) is different from LTZ/Denali/Escalade??

Yea the 2012 hitch cover is completely different from the 07-11 Esky/Denali hitch covers.

Just go to gmpartsdirect.com and search the catalog and add it to the online shopping cart. When you view your cart it will show you the part number.
