Goodbye Tahoe. Hello Yukon XL!

[Passin Thru]

Got rid of my wife's Z71 Tahoe yesterday and picked up a Yukon XL. So glad we did! Bright it home and immediately started de-badging. Did a little paint correct and still a lot to do. Anyway, on to the pics.

clean!

What are the plans for it?

 

[Passin Thru]

Weelllllll......... Lower (thinking 2/3-4), sway bars, bigger wheels (haven't decided 20 or 22), tint, upper/lower grills, LED headlights, carbon wrap some trim pieces, back up camera, blah blah (more stuff than I care to type LoL), then some performance upgrades.

Now that you have had it a bit, how to you like it compared to the Tahoe?

Nice

Big Body FTW

Excellent choice in color!!! Tan interior?

Thats a really clean look you've got . I started right there a little while ago, but have been chicken/lazy on the demolding/debadging.

@Rexter
The wife absolutely LOVES it. I am ecstatic about that. I love it myself.

@goodinblack
Go big or go home!

@13yukon
NEVER TAN! ~yuck!~ light titanium interior.
Make sure to have an eraser wheel handy for the rear, and door mouldings. I would have given up if I didn't borrow one. Made life EXTREMELY easy. Then just use some Adam's paint correction and it comes out nice

My only confusion comes with the front door mouldings. It looks as if the put the moulding after paint, then cleared the truck. I have a customer that does body work and will have him look at it at his earliest convenience. It looks like if he clears the area then does a bit of wet sanding to blend, you won't be able to tell. I'm just confused on why it's like that.

SLT model here also sunroof?

 

[Passin Thru]

No sunroof. No nav. I'm an electronics dealer so that will be changed. Not sure when I'll get to it but sooner or later....

OP...how hard was it to remove the door trim?

@YukonCrazy
Was a pain in the caboose to get a corner started! That's the worst part. Once it starts coming, it goes pretty quick. My wife and I both had our hands on it.

I'd pop up a corner and separate the tape a little. Then I'd pull it until I had top and bottom separated. Then I would pull right at where the tape would be attached while the wife also pulled from where I had already separated. That way was pretty easy. She was never pulling more than 10" from where I was. She just held a steady pressure.
