1999 GMC Yukon SLT 4 doors, Ideas? help.

[Allan Thompson]

I will be acquiring one of these trucks in June, and I want to plan ahead.

This will be my 1st vehicle and 1st project.
I want to do many things, 1st being what ever I need to fix, a couple things I know I will need to fix the gas gauge, as it does not read correct gas amount, and the passenger side door handle.

The truck is identical to the one in the photo

Here is a list of things I know I want to do

lift the truck, (not sure how much)

get bigger wider tires/rims (black)​

put amps and subs into the truck
change light covers/lights
Lights on roof?
Visor​

Again, this is my first project, so I dont know where to look or what to look for completely.
I am also looking for more ideas. if you have any please share in the comments

Thank you in advance!

Gas gauge not reading correctly is normally (90% of the time) the sending unit inside the gas tank put possible the cluster.

The door handle is a very easy and cheap fix.

any documentation of the intake manifold gaskets being done?

First vehicle.......... lesson 1, do all of the maintenance before things like different wheels/tires and stereo equipment. Kind of goofy to spend money thing that do not help the drive ability and reliability of the vehicle

If you're waiting almost a year I'd ask your aunt to pop into all 4wd modes every month or so to keep it working. I have a 4 door 99 Lt and I'll say these trucks are pretty cool as is. My only real complaint is the cup holders lol. So maybe find a center console that fits and actually has cup holders

Also matching the tint on the front windows helps the look

No just the stupid one that pulls out of the dash and splits into two. My 92 had a great console/cup holders....could fit a big gulp!
