Yep, got busy and only picked it up this evening. Quick picture with fading daylight:
I am so happy with it. Weekend plan is to remove the hybrid stickers on the windows and lower doors.
Truck is fully loaded, and looks like the back seats were never used lol.

Congrats and welcome back.
Go slow on the mods on this one and investigate before you buy parts ... it may look similar to the regular trucks but a lot of stuff is very different when you start modding.

I sure wish we knew someone who had modded a HyHoe before...
Nice find

I was actually going to ask you a few questions, I did read a bit through some of your threads. I guess since I have your attention I might as well ask now haha. And anyone else who would know please do chime in.
- headlights: exact same as regular hoe? Looking to buy a set of pre made retros.
- 3rd brake light is different and not interchangeable with the others correct? So no escalade 3rd? [emoji17]
- Read a little on tail lights.. Best to stay stock? Would love to go escalade again if it is possible.
- I can do esky dual exhaust the same as a regular Tahoe?
- best looking grill I've found is the one you had by grill craft. Did you install yourself? Last one I did was kind of a B, but I'd do it again.
Sorry and thank you [emoji16][emoji16]

Damn it Jacob! 
That's correct, same as regular Tahoe.
That's also correct. To change the 3rd brake light you'd have to change the entire liftgate, appliqués, tail lights (including custom made harnesses).
See above. Escalade tails would bolt on, but they won't line up up with the appliqués, and you can't swap the Hybrid appliqués for any others without swapping the liftgate assembly. Assuming you spent thousands to do all that you'd still need special harnesses to make any tail lights work with the Hybrid specific harness.
There is a special dual tip made for the Hybrid. http://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-SUV-Hybrid-Tailpipe-Resonator-Removal-Tahoe-Yukon-/330370129316
Not sure what year yours is (resonator is in different locations depending on the year), but the upshot of removing the resonator is that it becomes a lot easier to swap to the sky bumper and by consequence you can then add the spare tire kit.
That's the best one I found as well. I didn't do it myself (this is in the days that I didn't do anything myself) but it's an overlay so I don't think it's super hard to do.
I'm sensing this isn't over.

Was originally going to order a set of either 22" 375s, or 156s, but I found a set of escalade 7 spoke 22s locally (never happens) with tires 50% for 500$.. Might go grab those tomorrow if they're in decent shape.
I guess since I've already started in here, would a mod please move this thread to the build section? Thanks!
