Yukon front end swap?

Yeah I had big plans. I had already sourced the suburban quarter panels and talked to the body shop. It was going to cost about 4K to do the bedsides matching the front fenders. Then an Escalade pulled out in front of me.

My goodness! You took a beating compared to the damage to the Esky! At what speed did you hit him?

I agree 22’s and a 2/3 or 2/4 drop like my 02.

Around 40. He turned left across traffic and I didn’t see it coming.

These newer vehicles just crumble by design to absorb the impact.

Yea, they explain it as the debris coming apart carries the energy of the impact away from the vehicle and therefore away from the passengers. The shell is safer to protect them but the pieces attached to that shell is designed to come apart in a whole different way than they did before.

Nah, Sierra frame and body swap.
