Hi, what's the best forum on this site to get ideas and upgrade recommendations for my new-to-me 1999 Yukon? I'd love to see what others have done to theirs.

Looking for all ideas to sexy up my new ride!

Just bought a '99 in incredibly good condition and I'd like some ideas to give it some tasteful upgrades. I'll take any suggestions: performance, sound system, tires... First thing I need is shocks. I'm eyeing Bilsteins from rockauto. I don't need heavy duty. I'll probably be on the road...

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Pics of the truck, please.

You are already receiving suggestions from the knowledgeable folks on this Forum.

The available mods/upgrades for these trucks is almost endless. Your best bet is to review some of the above suggested topics and included threads, and then come up with a prioritized list based on your preferences. Then set a relatively firm budget, because once you start mods, you can become obsessed with doing additional mods, and the folks here are more than happy to spend your money.

Once you have an idea on what you'd like to do and how much you want to spend, we can then have some discussions on the available options for your desired mods/upgrades.

Welcome to GMT400 ownership. GMT400.com mentioned above is run by the same folks, while this is a great site, I usually end up there for my GMT400 needs. Some epic builds are documented there.
You could start with those wheels tho
Haha jk, it's your truck. Which looks nice from here btw!

Thank you for the reply and info! Solid advice about the budget recommendation because, yes, great ideas can be expensive!

Yeah the first/only owner put those wheels on many years ago at his daughter's request. I think they're pretty epic lol!

They're not made for them anymore but ebay has them. They have a ton of them listed for the 88-98 which i believe will fit the OP's body style.

EBay for sure. When i got mine it was in sad shape so i refinished it.
If you do get one, do not use sheet metal screws to mount it.
Mark the hole locations and use Rivnuts or something similar with sealant. No leaks or rust!
Here is something else that might interest you.

Porsche 911 Gets Covered in Musou Black Paint That Absorbs 99.4% of All Visible Light

A Porsche 911 by itself is a fine luxury sports car, but when covered in Musou Black paint, it becomes ultra stealthy. Japan-based Pit One Customs decided to do just that and see what the vehicle would look like. Just for comparison, standard black acrylic paints absorbs up to 94-98% of visible...
