Just kidding :p

What's up everyone, my name's Johnny and I'm from San Antonio, TX. I came across this site the other day and figured I might as well join up. Y'all got a lot of useful info here.

My Yukon is a '99 four door 4X4. When I bought it, it had real dual exhaust and some sort of body lift with Bilstein shocks. I put new wheels and tires on it and replaced the passenger side door because there was a huge dent in it. Unfortunately, the new door wasn't a perfect match. No AC. Power locks, seats and mirrors don't work and I don't know why, 4 low won't engage. She's got her fair share of problems but she's still my baby and I love her anyway.

I want to paint the frame and emblems and remove the molding and rocker panels so maybe y'all can point me in the right direction of how to go about that. Thinking about also painting the bumpers and chrome part of the grille. I'm not a big fan of chrome.

Here's some pictures. I'm no photographer so cut me some slack on the quality. Let me know what you guys think and if you have any ideas on other cheap/free things I can do with it feel free to give me some suggestions.

Welcome to the forums! Truck looks good. Removing the molding is easy they are just glued on. Due to them being on the vehicle for all of these years I would remove them really carefully though as some members have seen them remove paint just from adhering that much to the paint/body. Just take a heat gun to them to soften the glue up really good and slowly pull them off. Then use a 3M wheel to remove the remaining adhesive. I would imagine the rocker panels would be similar but I'm not sure on that one. :welcome:
