Wow, things do change when you leave a while then come back. I hope to stick around a little better now. Mid-summer, all hell broke loose at work and I became a relative unknown in normal society, and things are now starting to slow down a bit. But with all that, I have managed to do some things to the Yukon.

Got it dirty. That pic is on the North Slope of Alaska this summer.

'nother dirty pic, this one from the fabled Stampede Trail, the one Chris McCandless walked down to his eventual fate. I didn't make it to the bus

Did some mods, did the brake upgrade (sooooooo worth it! night and day difference)

New driving lights, the old one's had had their day.

Reverse lights, they do great, and the LEDs allow me to run them from the factory wiring, so there's no switches to worry about.

And cab lights:) I've always dug the look of cab lights so I finally decided to do it.

And last-but-not-least, I had a grill cover made to help keep the engine warm in the Alaskan cold (no pics yet)

That's the story of me and my truck the past few months in a nutshell. Good to be back.

WELCOME BACK!

Define Brake upgrade...pads and rotors or HD calipers?

All of the above. The brakes were dragging hard to the right when coming to a stop, one "factory" rotor was rusted almost to nothing, the other was ok, the drivers caliper had seized, and the passenger side pads were toast. Nothing but bad up front. I installed new HD calipers, new slotted and cross-drilled rotors, with severe duty pads, all from NAPA. Good price too, total came to $350 with a core exchange on the calipers. Can't wait to swap the rear axle and put a hydroboost setup on it.

Here's a couple more pics from that Stampede trail.

I popped the bead on the front tire in that mudhole, hence the spare
