So this is the build thread for my most recent daily driver. I have been wanting something "Ls" based for quite a while. I have been in the *** car scene forever now, and this is my fist American and v8 platform. I pipe dreamed about an Ls swapped *** car, but could not justify the funds needed and life.
2003 GMC Yukon SLT is my new daily. 2WD with 208k when I picked it up. It needed a hand full of maintenance when I first got it, which I will update here for my records keeping.
Currently at 225k miles.
When I first picked up:
Another baseline:
New wheels, trying to mimic baseline pic:
Random pictures with new wheels:
Took the moldings and badge off passenger side to see if I liked it:
I liked the no molding look as more time went on. I still need to do the driver side.
Maintenance done so far:
Early 2020: intake mani gaskets, knock sensors, center valley cover gasket, EGR solenoid, and all 4 o2 sensors.
Mid 2020: KYB monomax shocks all around, pads/rotors all around.
Plans: Continue with maintenance so it drives even better than it does now. Along with getting it to drive better in a sense of feel, I would like to lower it most likely with a 2/4 drop. Been on the fence wanting to wrap it, but do not want any more attention drawn. Back up cam, new head unit, and better beats is always a plus. So we shall see.
I have loads of questions, but wont ask until I get to the point of actually making an action that pertains to the areas of interest regarding the questions.
