Been meaning to start a build thread since we traded our 2001 Tahoe in for this 2011 Yukon in October 15' so now I'm going to finally start! Here's a few pics from the day we picked it up!

First mods were, naturally, a set of weather techs and a dash mat that were ordered on the way home from the dealer (2+hour drive). Next mod was fog lights done early this month:

Then the wife said she wanted it a bit louder so I decided to start with the resonator delete, $50 and a trip to the exhaust shop and now we have this:

So far she's happy with this, I personally think it could be a bit louder as I'm used to the Flowmaster 50 series that was on our Tahoe but we will see!

Havent done to much more other than add miles, today I cleaned her up a bit and removed the black handle on rear glass and the Eco emblem off the rear gate

Next on the list is a leveling kit and some 275/60r20 Nitto G2 tires for these Fuel wheels I picked up on sale around Christmas

Not totally set on the 275s yet since I haven't purchased them yet but the price and knowing that they are a common size is helping in the decision process. And also I still need to decide on a leveling kit, can't decide if I want the CCM 2.5/1 or just a 2 inch spacer in the front?

And the leveling kit is on, new wheels & tires installed, and alignment done! Here's some pics, the first pic is with just the 2.5 front only with the 22s, then the last couple pics are the full 2.5/1 kit installed with the new wheels & tires!

Like the new kicks and the desert pics. I grew up in Prescott and my parents still live there. My brother is a firefighter with Sedona FD.

@Fosscore Prescott is nice man I went to school up there for a semester! And my sister is currently going to NAU so whenever we head up that way we usually go through Sedona and stop somewhere and eat!

My brothers went to NAU. UA for me.

Next time you venture north try the Spirit Room in Jerome. My brothers always hit it up and the drive is stunning over Mingus Mountsin. As is the back way to Phoenix via Skull Valley thru Wickenburg.

Haven't been on here to update Ina while but I have done quite a bit to the Yukon lately including plugs & wires, Airaid jr., new backup camera, front pads and slotted rotors, had the windows tinted nice and dark, and last week I installed the factory GM remote start. Unfortunately due to phone issues the only pic I have right now is from after the tint so here it is, more pics and mods to follow!!

Added roof rack cross bars and trimmed the front valence down, left just enough to cover the mounting holes on the bottom of the bumper!
