2005 Yukon XL - Wifes Daily Driver

[Countryboy07]

Update: Swapped out the stock intake for an Airaid MIT. Seat of the pants dyno feels like I gained a little bit, but can't say for sure. Nonetheless, its a huge improvement over the stock intake contraption. Disregard the dirty engine bay, haven't had the drive to detail yet with the crappy weather.

I then washed the Yukon to get all the crap off of it... Hate living where they use so much salt on the roads.

And Finally, I drove up to Lansing, MI to pick up this Denali Bumper for $100.00 Has a couple small things wrong with it, but I figure for $100.00, I could afford to fix the small issues while I am having it painted to match.

Sorry, @TheAutumnWind, I didn't install my Z71 springs yet... they are coming soon though!

Good score on the bumper. Dings won't matter after a little body work and color match. Sweet! Engine bay... yikes...but hard in the winter. Spring time soon come.

Where are you located in MI? It was only just a hair over 2 hours for me to go up and get that bumper. Was hoping to grab the rear too, but the parts vehicle was smashed! Person was sitting still and was rear ended by a person going 40 + ...

I know man. Pretty damn lucky this end. Just busting chops. Never any offense meant. She cleaned up nice and looking forward to that new bumper.

That's a pretty good rear end speed. Ouch!!

No offense taken. Was just giving it back to you. And thank you, I'm hoping it turns out the way I am envisioning it.

Haven't updated in a while... Kind of forgot I had this thread going. Not much going on right now:

De-badged:

LED Fogs:

Lastly, our Yukon has had a dent in the passenger door since we bought it. I finally took the door panel off and pushed it out... Well the door molding decided it didn't want to stay conformed to the non dented door now and started peeling away from the front of the door. I had always said I wasn't going to de-mold, but seeing the results of the passenger door de-mold has me thinking otherwise...

I just threw in my trimmed z71 springs! Took about 30 mins in my driveway. I put them off for way too long. The 200k mile weak ass denali springs were toast! They were designed to be supported by the air shocks that I have deleted so no real surprise I guess.

Do it.

 

[Countryboy07]

Decided to go ahead and de-mold the rest of the way.

 

[Countryboy07]

Also, going to pick this up tomorrow...

My paint guy is going to be making some money off of me in the next couple months... HD hood, denail front and rear bumpers, Street Sceen Smooth vent caps, and possibly the grille. Hoping the look will turn out how I see it in my head.

 

[Pachanga02]

Looking forward to that front end.

 

[Fosscore]

Demold and HD hood = WIN! Looking forward to pics.

Got my attention

 

[TheAutumnWind]

This thing is looking great

Look at the size of that garage
Pretty cool looking ride for the wife's dd.
Those led fogs are blinding, just how I like em

Denali clip with HD hood is the ****. Can't wait for it

Thanks guys! Think I'm going to hold off on the Denali conversion... There is a '06 Denail in town now that is the same color as my Yukon. So for now, I'm just going to get the HD hood put on, probably going to be a winter project, and get a non dented stock front bumper. As for the LED bars, they are getting replaced by stock fogs soon... Haven't been on there for 4 months yet and the passenger fog has 1/2 the LED's out already.

Not a whole lot to update as of right now.

Wash, clay bar, and wax job yesterday... And of course it's been raining all day here.

Hit 200,000 as we pulled into the garage yesterday afternoon as well

And lastly I installed a set of 1.5" coil spring spacers in the rear. Now sitting at 39.25" in the rear and 38" in the front.

Still looking good. I say put on a 03+ sierra bumper (hd?) with the round fog lights. And color match everything
