Hiro's 2010 Yukon Build (Betty White)

[Sir_Hiro]

Traded a set of Magnaflow Mufflers for this brush guard. We have no idea what its off of but i think i can make it work for Betty. Really just gonna use it for running Offroad lights. I do alot of nighttime driving in deer country so more light is welcomed.

Got around to an Oil Change and finishing up bedlining the entire underside of the truck, Frame and body. Results turned out decent. Prob was a bit on the cold side to be spraying but it stuck and dried nicely.

Local Junkyard is having their annual 60 for 60 Sale so I'm hoping to snag up a Denali Roof Rack and bumper trim. Nonrusted Tailgate, Maybe some Tahoe taillights.

Spent my Black Friday junkyard shopping. Got some Hybrid Tahoe Taillights a denali roof rack, a whole misc trim and some stuff for the C10 all for 60 bucks.
Hybrid Tahoes plugged right in. Sad that the truck was black cuz i liked the white D Pillars.
Spring time ill paint them up to match.
I already miss the white D Pillars but also discovered that the Tahoes are a different rear bumper design as well as well as the bulb are completely different sockets 3157s vs 7440 IRRC. Ill live with the bumper until I can score one from a junkyard or FB.

Cool to see another local guy on this forum! Im in the Clarkston Area, looks like you visit the Sterling Heights yards, I am more of a U-Pull Pontiac but I too snagged a set of Hybrid Tahoe tails and D-Pillars, not sure what to do with them still.

Truck is looking good! Those flares turned out great. All the mods you did are very tasteful and OEM. Love it.

Looking at your suspension you will need some upper control arms, those things are shot, bushings wear out and then the ball joint is usually shot causing clunks. Not only that but when the upper moves forward and backwards when moving it causes the knuckles to move around and then alignment gets all out of wack. The arms are not expensive and if the bolts come out its a quick swap. If they get ugly, then pull the hack saw out and start cutting.

I had some silly annoying vibrations in the front end and it turned out to be the UCAs. A negative camber on the front wheel is usually a worn UCA ball joint.

I do have a little shimmy above 70-75. Nothing Crazy but I do want to address the suspension soon. Its getting a bit worn out and I want to lift it just slightly to even it out.

Also thanks. Yeah I live 3 miles from the Sterling Heights yard so its my go to. But I work in Auburn hills about 6 Miles from the Pontiac one. Only been there once but it was nice.

Finally was warm enough to get the Denali roof rack on.

Also swapped over to its 4th set of taillights. Stock Tahoes with Lasfit LeDs. Load resistors on bottom for turns.

Update on Taillights: They are junk. First Rainfall there is moisture inside the light...Typical Cheap Chinese knockoffs. Guess I'll hit the junkyards for OEMs like I shoulda done.

Go around the complete exterior--where the lens and backing come together--with clear silicone and where the bulbs plug into the housing use dielectric grease between the gasket and housing and you'll be good to go. I've done this to every aftermarket lens and I've never had a moisture issue. Of course dry the lenses of any moisture. I can almost guarantee you won't have any moisture issues again.
