A few plans I have for my Yukon......
Both dash brake lights are on. Code says brake control module. Thats getting replaced asap.
I want aftermarket wheels, but holy crap there are 100s to choose from! Tried the Tirerack site but it doesnt offer a pic of 03 Yukon to get an idea of what they will look like. Is there another site that has a pic of a Yukon for that?
Had dual exhaust installed last week. Went with the black chrome tips and kinda thinking I want wheels to match those. Any suggestions? The truck is dark grey, almost black.
Cant decide if I want to just remove the step bars or try to find those in black chrome as well.
Im the second owner, my brother bought it new for his wife. It has 240,000 miles on it. Looking forward to fixing her up!

Welcome from Miami Beach Scott!

Nice Yukon! I am sure the members in the 2003 section will come through for you with any question or concerns you have. I see that have posted there already.

I would definitely consider that. I have seen a few threads about it.
I removed just the wiper nothing else. Yes the threaded stud looks like crap but it makes washing and drying the rear door easier I think.

I do! What size are those?
They are 18's off a 2017 or 2018 Suburban/Tahoe. You can go much bigger. I got these with Michelin tires on them that were less than 2 years old.

I thought about getting some factory wheels and checking if my local powder coater can match the color of the exhaust tips. The only aftermarket wheels I’m finding are black or bronze. I really like the color of the tips and think it would look good on wheels.

Plastidip your current ones. Just saved you a couple $100 bucks and you can change the color any time you want to.

If you are really set on buying new ones, plastidip them anyways to the color you want and drive around a while to see if you like that color rim.
