Here she is. I sold her back in October and missed her ever since!

It had the LT1 350 bored .30 over, Trickflow 218/228 Cam and 21 degree trickflow heads, Edelbrock short-runner tunnel-ram intake with a BBK twin 58mm throttle body, Granatelli MAF, Trick flow CAI, Aeromotive 60psi fuel pressure regulator, BBK Headers with ORY, Magnaflow Cats and Spintech Sportsman Pro's on a true dual setup. Rear-end had 4.10:1 with a Eaton 30 spline posi and a built 4L60-E. I wanted to go with a T-56 conversion but started to loose interest in her and sold it to a friend for SCCA track use. I tried to keep her looking as stock as possible to be a complete sleeper :)

Looks really good on yours Mike. Glad you like em. Looks alot better on white than my black.

In the night pic, looks like a led it out. Didnt remember seeing it out. Sorry about that, thought they were all lit up. Maybe shipping got em loose. idk. I'll check some pics i have and see.

Looks real good either way.

took about an hour and a half... i like it.
with the remote start all i have to do it get in the truck and put the key in the ignition to the 2nd notch and drive away. might want a louder siren though.....




I hooked my air horns up to my alarm. Love it!

Did you do a write up on the alarm install? Pics?

Not worried about it, it was a great deal! I tapped the lights and all but one on each side lite up. Major improvement over the stock lights.

Amber DRLs is where it's at. I did the conversion and I love it.

I've had regular amber bulbs for awhile, but they were fading bad. I really like the new ones so I'm going to splurge on some better ones when I replace the turns/parks with LEDs.

Those look pretty good on your truck, since it's white.

I know what you're talking about. I found a solution of my own though. Silvania makes a "long life" 3157 (or whatever it is). The fillament is super tough (I've had mine for about 6 months and they haven't blown, even with all the voltage spikes). The light color AND output are superb......The best part is that they're cheap and available almost anywhere. I wouldn't even bother with LED DRLs, unless you're replacing the entire housing.

Got it sideways, a LOT today. The roads were wet everywhere!

Also got 4 sets of Vibe components in, a 5 gallon air tank, and hoses... For helper bags and hopefully some shocker horns!

LMFAO! I was doing the same thing tonight, and I don't even do stuff like that anymore. It was just super slick out tonight and I let her "swang" a few myself.

I say +1 on the horns. I absolutely love mine! (Sinister laugh)

Washed the Yukon because it snowed half an inch and they threw down 4 inches of salt yesterday. Polished the wheels with Turtle Wax Metal and aluminum polish. Froze my ass off cuz its like 30 degrees. She is worth it though. Looks clean.

Changed out the 10" X-Plod and installed 2-12" Cerwin Vega competition subs in a sealed box. Hits really hard to the point of almost knocking the wind out of you :)

Okayz ... as long as you don't want pics from the Costco lot. :)

I will of course post pics ... when all this stuff gets installed I am also tinting the front windows. I think the whole thing will look rather nice for a Hybrid, at least that is my hope.
