Yukon Escalade converion

[chip]

For fairness sake, if smoke them properly (yourself), you should, should be alright..........but why not throw some sexy LEDs in there? You poured heart & soul into that truck (from where I stand) Why not put that finishing touch on it?

It is the OBS. It has the barn doors, and his truck is still a 2000 model year.

Take a look and tell me what you think:

I like the look of that truck and the lights. The hinges are outside the body though, so I think the lights are going to be different.
I'd still like to put the LEDs like in the photo I posted a page or two ago. We'll see how the money flows.

One more question for Ofc. K.J., This truck is looking more Escalade than Yukon. It's still obviously titled as a GMC Yukon. Am I likely to get grief about this from the law man if I'm ever pulled over for traffic violation? How 'bout crossing the boarder into Canada?

Thanks for the tail light info.
For the record, I did point out in post 103 that I did want to be safe and legal.

You shouldn't get any grief for the conversion. Conversions are done every day (Think: "Conversion Van"). If anyone asks you, just tell them the truth: You converted it.

So I finally got the rear bumper and the roof rack done. I also redyed (spray painted) the leather seats like shown on another thread here.

Still to do: tail lights (not currently in the budget even if I could find the ones I like), and rims. (I'd like something in a 20", REALLY not in the budget.

Looks great man! I like the clean, stock appearance. Keep the 17" wheels. It looks more believable that way.

Thanks. I put those on back in 05 when the chrome rims it came with got a bit crappy looking. A friend had 'em for $100. had no intention of doing any of this until I sent front end parts across two lanes of traffic on I-75 last summer.

WOW! This conversion is amazingly clean. Great job man! I never noticed how much the rear bumper cover contoured to the tail lights on the nbs esky... can't wait till you get those! How about the esky oem 20's? Those are so clean.

Thanks. Funny you say that about the OEM 20s. I saw a set an an older Esky like my body style. I really liked them a lot. I see a lot of 'em on Craigslist. Hmmm...Christmas isn't that far off. The OEM Esky tail lights won't work though. The doors will hit the light contour, and the door hinge is in the bottom part of the light.

Thanks Jacob!
