Thoughts on front end conversion

[Jonah52]

Has anyone gone from a yukon front end to Tahoe? I love my yukon but if I could have the Tahoe front end with the perks of the Denali package it would be perfect....just throwing it our there! I think it would compliment the lifted look a little better. It may be a stupid idea, unless I found a trade, but just curious if anyone has done this!

Yes a member on here Blazed did that very thing. Bought a Denali and converted over to a Tahoe front

Cool, I didn't know if it would sound like a dumb question or not lol

I'll look it up!

Yep...blazed did exactly what you're talking about. IMO, if that's what you want go buy a Tahoe and sell the Denali but that's just me lol

 

[Jonah52]

For some reason Tahoe prices are higher than Denali's here. IDK if they are just not as popular i.e. the higher tahoe price or what....

Josh did this

I guess if I found someone that wanted to trade I'd do it, but not go out and buy every little piece lol $$$$$

His truck looks great BTW. That WDT on a tahoe is perfect

 

[07Burb]

exactly why I said just sell the denali and get a tahoe if that's what you're wanting. Not worth the money to do that front swap IMO

 

[Goodinblack]

A Escalade swap has been done too.

I did this couldn't be happier! I got all oem body parts, core support, and headlight harness from Craigslist for $900 and I mean that was a steal to me.
I'm honestly not sure if I needed the core support but the headlights is definitely the tricky part and that was very easy.

I tried to plug the Tahoe harness into the fuse block directly but that didn't work so I chopped the Tahoe harness up and made a custom harness so Tahoe headlights would plug and play. However I left all the Yukon plugs in the harness should I ever HAVE to go back to a Yukon headlights for whatever reason.

Haven't had any issues at all and it's been converted since August. Hope this helps!

Perfect, I assumed its not hard, it just takes time and a little luck finding the front end parts. If I can find a deal on some black tahoe parts I will do it. I like the tahoe front end much better

I bought the Denali because of the 6.2 engine. If I could have gotten the Tahoe that way, would have done it. Love the Tahoe front end but love the 6.2 more!!

LOL same here except Suburban for me
I am liking the look now, the 6.2 makes it all ok

 

[Jonah52]

If i can swing it I will, if not, it will look fine too! but yeah the 6.2 is a monster. I love it!

Swap a ferrari front end, it bolts right up

 

[Jonah52]

@Blazed found a guy with a black hoe that wants my front end. What exactly do we need to do to make the headlights work and is it quick and easy? He's driving down and we want to swap everything in a day for both trucks. But it's all already the right color and is just bolt up.

 

[07Burb]

That's a lot of work to pull off in one day. I hope you have someone with you that knows what they are doing

 

[Jonah52]

yeah starting to feel like ehhh....
