You know what they say about opinions. The thing about it is you are free to do what ever you want with yours as I have with mine. Then again, you probably don't have one. I stopped trying to impress others in middle school.

 

[Pockets]

Please don't be offended

Not feelin those wheels

Look slightly ghetto and dated

Needs something more modern and stately jmho

Again sorry no offense

This... but hey like you said, it's yours just do your thing. Still trying to figure out what wheel I want for mine.

Your right I stopped having rims that style right after middle school.


On a brighter note. I really really do love your truck and there are so many wheels to choose from that will compliment your still very unique and rare purchase. Especially since your home pics look like road salt isn't a issue where your from.

Interesting that rims invoked so many reactions. This truck is for towing a boat and I see no reason to drop $2000-$4000 into some "updated rims." The ones that I have serve their purpose and get the job done. I have one of the only Yukon XL around and frequently people stop me because they want to see the vehicle and ask questions.

It's more like 1200-1300 minus whatever you sell your rims for since you already have good tires in 22.

Well, because they are garbage and make the truck look tacky. Return the stupid cold air intake and sell these wheels + $2k and boom.

Any chance someone has the steps for removing the grill? I want to paint mine body color and replace without breaking it.

 

[blackout07]

Remove the front bumper cover and grille bolts up top. Then unsnap the grille from the bottom tabs. Easy job. It just takes a little bit getting to all the bolts.

 

[Rush]

Easy job

Pfft.... I must be stupid.

 

[blackout07]

The only thing "hard" is finding the right bolts, but once you've done it is an easy job.

Iirc these are pretty much the steps.

1. Jack up one side or both. Doesn't matter but I did only one side.
2. Remove wheel(s).
3. Remove bolts/screws from the fender liner. I only did the front half or so, just to allow me room to work.
4. Remove 2 bolts (7 or 10mm) I don't remember, they hold the bumper facia in place near the headlight. Again I only did one side.
5. Remove 4 or 5 bolts that run under the suv that hold the facia in place.
6. Pop the hood and remove the dust cover.
7. Remove the 4 or 5 bolts on top of the grille holding it in place.
8. I then just hinged the loose side of the bumper outward to give me access to the Row of tabs on the bumper facia that the grille snaps into. I used a bucket and towels to rest the bumper facia on while I did this, but an extra set of hands would be ideal.
9. Once the grill is out snap the new one in and reverse the process.

Once you've done it, it's not at all difficult and anyone with the most basic of hand tools and ability can tackle.
