2003 Yukon XL. I picked this up about a month ago, bone stock with 80k on it for $9500. It was a voluntary repo at a credit union. So far i installed a 3 inch BL. 285-75/16's on Warrior rims, blacked out grille, and bumpers. I am in process of removing luggage rack and debadging. What do you think of it so far?

Looks good! I like the pinstripe but the chrome on the door needs to come off cuz it clashes with it. You also need to put the lower valance back on the front bumper. Looks funny without it :) Overall nice lookin' Kon! :waytogo:

funny u guys mention the pin stripe but no one told him to remove the broken plastic vent visor things. (REMOVE THEM). :)

but i agree, the pinstripe needs to be gone and the stock door mouldings could go and look better too..

and yes, the lower valance missing looks pretty bad, like it got wrecked or hung up on something...

oh...just looked again (and then re read your post)...its a body lift...not my cup of tea, u got the height ok but it really should be done correctly with a suspension lift to look good...especially the hitch..and the frame...and the well everything down there haha

I have the valance but I have not messed with making it fit yet. With just doing a body lift you have to hack up the valance and they give you rubber as fillers. I did not like that idea so I left it off until I find a better idea. I want to take the side moldings off completely but after starting to debadge it I think I will just scuff and paint the chrome on the sides. That molding tape just sucks to deal with. I only do suspension lifts on my Wranglers but I did not want to put a ton of money into it this truck as far as a suspension lift since I am looking for a NNBS and this is going to my son.

lose the pin stripes. remove moldings.... put in nerf bars. or retractable ones if you have the extra cash.

definitely need a valance, looks empty in the front.

3m sells an eraser wheel that you mount on the end of any drill. works great at pulling all of the leftover tape up. I've used it on several cars. You can find it at advanced for less than $30.

Overall, good looking kon. And for some reason, i dont mind the missing valance haha
