I'm keeping an eye on this! I'd like to one day turn mu Yukon into an expedition/bugout rig, with many of the same mods you're doing.

I can't really think of anything light enough that would be worth shipping....

Except of course for a near mint condition Denali console with all the buttons, cd player, sub and amp :)

You and I have the exact same rig, if you ever have any questions about the wonderful nuances, just ask - as an example, the nut on the bolt that holds the break pedal in is welded!!

Atomic - you got PM.

Some more photos for everyone!

Finished prepping and POR'ing the 14bsf - now I'm waiting for my Wagner severe duty shoes and I'll rebuild the drums and bend up some new brake lines.

After installing the new system, evacuating and filling with refrigerant...the high pressure relief valve went south...and I had to do it all over again!

I also installed a new idler pulley today and fixed my hi beam HIDs!

I'm digging the hydroboost. I'd love to do that one day.

That trailer is pretty sick. How much does it weigh?

Ever thought about swapping the trailer axle to 6 lug for 2 extra spares?

Looks nice so far.

Yes I did...but from a cost perspective, I've decided to keep it as-is. i will have a bumper + tire carrier on the Tahoe that is carrying an extra spare rim/tire for the truck.


The trailer is also going to be modified to carry an extra tire/rim.

Very nice... Im gonna have 2 do this 2 my LIMITED ... MADMAX edition...

Go for it - and keep it lowered!
