My 2004 GMC Yukon 4x4 SLT, shes dark spiral gray metallic, got 259k on the dash. I bought it for 1000$ the way it sat in the picture w it on the ramps. The previous owner stated the transmission was slipping in 1st gear, the next day I put the correct transfer case in it & drove it down the road with absolutely no issues. Since then she's had multiple sets of tires, some I can't find the pics. Currently sitting on 265/70/r20s 34.61" no lift, no rubbing unless I get wild and climb a hill w a deep ditch drop-off, got the stocks on 265/70/17 m/t dirt commanders as a backup. The hostiles are in retirement due to a blowout!
It ain't much but I'm proud of my truck. She's a winner to me!

Yours is the Dad Wagon. Mine is the Dog Wagon, and if I do not take them when I leave the property in the truck, they are not happy and let my wife know about it.

I believe any truck with over 200,000 miles is a keeper! She’s made it that far she must be a tank my Tahoe has around 400,000 and I’m just now planning a motor build for it but still got the stock rearend and transmission t case and all that in it with no issues

LOVE that TRUCK !!! Must be a smooooth ride with those sets of rubber !!

( Throw on a set of mud flaps, or the OEM fender flares )
Thank you brother! I love her too she's a warrior that's for sure! And the ride varies on the weather honestly sometimes in the rain they're iffy. I do need to do some front end work to it but it crawls through the mud like nothing! I ordered a set of mud flaps through my matco dealer im a gear head lol
