Nice score on the HD hood. I would love to have one on my Yukon, but the added body work around the lights doesn't make it feasible right now.

Yeah man it was a sweet score and 6 bolts later it is a direct swap. Lucky with the Tahoe.

You guys with the Yukons have a bit more of a challenge with the custom work around the lights. Would be worth it though.

Thx sir. I like your idea. Go for it. It will still be editable even though it is going back to the start of the thread?

Never know, I might have to add something to the list down the track. Thx.

It'll go back to where you can't edit it after whatever the time limit is but if you ever want to make changes just let me or any of the other staff members know and we can make the updates for you :)

No problem, man :waytogo: it's always nice having that master list in an easy to find spot especially when people inevitably ask you details on parts you used for whatever :)

Yessir. Happy to help other guys out. Lots of help given to me getting to this point. I'm sure I'll have more questions myself about something. Thx again.
