Hello all,

First post for me. Just had our first child 7 weeks ago and sold our Audi and picked up a 16' Yukon SLT.
( This is my third GM vehicle I've owned. )

I absolutely despise anything sitting stock in my driveway so I am looking forward to getting started on this build immediately. Just briefly reading up and picking through topics that interest me I've listed the first set of modifications for stage 1 below.

As always.. I am learning and open to suggestions, recommendations and experiences with products/vendors.

Black Bear tuning -
Throttle body spacer -
CAI -
Cat back exhaust - ( In the air between Corsa/Magnaflow - will be modifying the exit to be hidden out of sight.)
Grille insert -
Lighting upgrades. ( Undecided on pulling trigger on Morimoto.. $1,600 is a hard pill to swallow for some Headlights/Fogs. Open to suggestions. These stock halogens MUST go )
Hotchkis Sway bar
2/4 Drop w/ helper bags ( It's between McGaughys/Norcal )
22x9.5" +30mm offset wrapped in Nitto NT420V 285/40R22

I am pretty confident in my list ( so far... ) and will be shopping the best prices this month and pulling the trigger before it gets to hot in AZ and I don't want to work in my driveway.

I wrench on my own stuff.. I enjoy the process and building what I envision.

Love your LML 3500!

Out of curiosity what is the vehicle in the garage behind the Yukon! Looks like a 50 something Chevrolet.

Your Audi still looks mint. Hopefully the dealer gave you a good trade in price.

Thanks!

The dealership gave me what I asked for based on KBB. I could asked for more via private sale but at the end of the day I did not want to bother with tire kickers and long turn over time.

The truck in the garage is my late Grandfathers 58' Apache. A full frame off resto.. She is a big window, step side, SBC & 3 on the tree. She is a real fun ride and turns a lot of heads.

Welcome to the forum from Oregon.

Great looking rides and love the Apache. My dad had one, same year but blue. As a kid I could not wait to go for rides with him in that Apache and the dog in the back.

Please more pics as you do the modding and go to the "Under Construction" section of the Photo Gallery section of the forums and start a build thread.

Don't forget about the brakes.
