So I found this. I’m curious about what size rims and how much it’s lowered. Absolutely love the look

I like that. Definitely looks like 22" wheels and a 2/3 drop. I wonder how they did the black grille, painting chrome never works. I bet that would look great on my silver Yukon with black wheels.

I agree with above. CK375s and 2/3 drop. The grill is probably from eBay. Then vinyl wrap the hood strip. Paint didn’t stick to the chrome for me.

One of my old trucks had a similar look.

Yukon front end swap?
Yeah I had big plans. I had already sourced the suburban quarter panels and talked to the body shop. It was going to cost about 4K to do the bedsides matching the front fenders. Then an Escalade pulled out in front of me.

These newer vehicles just crumble by design to absorb the impact.

Yea, they explain it as the debris coming apart carries the energy of the impact away from the vehicle and therefore away from the passengers. The shell is safer to protect them but the pieces attached to that shell is designed to come apart in a whole different way than they did before.
