I bought a bone stock 2005 Escalade EXT pearl white with 140K on the clock in fall of 2017. In Russia they say that theater begins at the cloakroom, so a build thread begins with a Craigslist ad

Much more, but I am already tired to type

Plans:

1. Sound deadening from ceiling to the floor;
2. Shift kit;
3. Yokohama Geolandr AT 275/65R18 on 2014 Sierra Z71 wheels (ordered just yesterday);
4. Leveling kit;
5. Hummer H2 transfer case.

Maybe Edelbrock SC eventually. This is the only vehicle in the family and my daily, so I can not let it sit in the garage, it has to be driven daily.

Tons of pix are coming shortly, I know everyone likes them.
