Recently found a 1999 Yukon that was advertised as a Tahoe. Had some interesting "custom" mods that I have pics of to show. But drive line felt good and 4x4 works flawlessly. The headlights were sharpied behind to give the HID illusion blue. The Windshield wipers were pained dark green. The bow Tie is blue. The interior lights are red/blue/green. The rear brake drums are blue/red. The gauge cluster was sharpied blue and the needles are white with pink tips. They painted the dash surround brown and the a/c vents and the door handle trim rings. But the motor is strong body is 85% and $1800 is cheap for it. First thing I did was get newer factory rims. Then replaced the Heater control that wasn't working. Had Treadwrite 285/75R16 mounted today. New shocks will be in tomorrow. Going to put air shocks on the back. Waiting to order new headlights, Off-Road bumper, HID kit, and some other goodies. Need to take pics of under the hood a few things that are "custom" including bailing wire and bungee straps. Fist pics are from the day I got it a week ago.

Got the new shock on its 25 here in Arkansas and wet. So it was lots of fun laying out side on the ground. Air the back shocks up to 85psi. The previous owner ran the keys way up on the front I backed them off 4 turns the ride difference is night and day. Also got the new dash trim in and installed.

working on the big 3 today and installed a second battery in prep for future additions. When I pull the motor I will rerun all the battery wires. Had the wires laying around and they are over kill but they were free put new ends on them and use them.
