figured it was about time to post a build thread... :shrug:

Oct.`12
Out with the old and in with the new...

Our '05 started acting up so the wife and I headed out to look at an Audi Q7, and a MZB GL550 we found online... turns out one is too small, and the other is just too overpriced. Especially since we don't keep our vehicles very long. After a trouble free 50k miles in only 2 years, it developed an electrical demon and we opted to get a new Yukon XL SLT! We love it, just thought I'd share. I swapped my Esky 22's w/ GMC caps, Limo'd the windows and installed a Magnaflow catback & 3rd cat delete so far.

Bright White w/ Black Leather :cheers:

The Old:

Was that an HD hood on your NBS? looks different from stock. maybe just my eyes being tricked.

why yes it was...one of my favorite mods!

I considered painting them body color, but the Yukons are painted black so I chose to leave em black. Especially since I already had to have the 3rd brake light housing painted once. Thank for the compliment
