I was planning on it but yesterday I found out the company I work for wants to trade in the Yukon and get me something newer next year . So all the plans I had got switched around . There's still a few more things I want to do regardless but I think I'm nixing the 24"s I was planning to buy

Wait. You are modding a car you dont even own?

Sorta of lol it's my work vehicle but I drive it when I'm not at work as well . my father owns the company so he doesn't care what I do with my company car as long as I put it back to stock when he wants to trade it in for a newer one

Oh so family owned = you own it

11/15 just got back from the tint shop . Had my guy put some llumar 30% over the factory tinted rear windows to increase the heat deflection .

Not really worth an after picture looks almost exactly the same as before just a little bit darker . But that's what I wanted so it's fine

Guess so lol . Now the question is do I make a jump to an escalade or try something else out, perhaps a denali truck or raptor

 

[Neil Layne]

if i had the choice between any of those i would pic the escalade. a raptor isn't too practical and the denali trucks are cool but i think the escalade is the best choice.

Get a DMax

Get a DMax

i would love to get a diesel but i avg 50-60k miles a year , having to worry about D.E.F. would be a hassle, plus we already have a F250 powerstroke lol

i visit alot of Job sites that only have dirt roads going to them so the raptor actually isnt too impractical . im hoping the release of the new escalade will drop the 2012 body colored premium's so i can afford one . i visited a caddy dealer and they are already offering 9k off some 2013s

11/18 ordered the rear hitch closeout . i also stopped at a ford dealer and test drove a Raptor super crew , different from what im used to but i really liked it . im going to go test drive a Escalade and 12' jeep srt8 later this week as well

thats awesome man, i didn't realize you'd be going off road a little bit. raptors are just different though. wide, weird to park, but very cool and nice. so thats a hard choice. either choice its going to be a nice vehicle. let us know how the test drives go.

the raptor is different from anything else ive ever owned so thats why im intrigued by it i think . ive always had sports cars or gm trucks all lowered and modified for street use . i havent found any escalades ive liked so far so im still waiting on test driving one. ideally id like to get a 2011 or newer premium trim or platinum and it has to be AWD . most the ones in FL i find are RWD . next time im in NY ill go look for an escalade . untill then im pricing out parts and coming up with ideas for modifications for both the raptor & escalade

so you're parting out your yukon before you get the new car?

Looks really good, love the mods. Would you happen to have the part number for that escalade shifter you picked up?
