ridin_low07's 02 Yukon XL Build

[ridin_low07]

Let me introduce you to my truck. Its an 02 Yukon XL with a Denali Front clip and rear bumper. It used to belong to my best friend who passed away in August of 2015. I recently bought it from his parents after the truck was broken into and vandalized.

Since getting the truck towed over to my house I fixed the ignition switch to where I can start and drive it. I swapped out the stock roof rack for a z71 rack, replaced my broken Escalade console with a full length out of an 05 Avalanche, debadged, and picked up a set of 20" Decladded GMC wheels. I am currently working on the interior lighting and will be utilizing some of the methods I have seen on @05Single build thread. I will update more moving forward.

Here is a quick rendering I did of my truck with 20x9 Vision wheels and a drop. I wanna say its close to a 5/7 drop but im just guessing here. Just ordered a 2/4 from crown that should be in Saturday.

Dang! How much of that damage was done by the vandals?

All unfortunately. I owned it about 3.5 yrs ago and had cleaned the hell out of it. And maintained it well. Gave it to his parents so they had his truck ya know.

My Crown Suspension 3/4 drop was delivered today. Ive heard mixed reviews on em but I figure for the price its worth a shot. I will be eventually looking at a little bit more drop in the future but until I get my new wheels I don't wanna go too far.

Good luck with the build. Sux your friend passed, but really cool that you saved his truck from a slow painful death. Sub'd.

We all have our time unfortunately. Really great guy so it sucks and he was still young. Gonna do my best to keep it nice and clean.
