The Khan - 2005 Yukon Slt buiild

[SteveB]

Not much of an update. But did get the rims and tires swapped on , roof rack removed , an air bag out of an Envoy , started removing the emblems. Sorry no pics.

Grille put back together , not sure I like the insert or not. So to reassemble the grille , I used panel bonding glue , and a soldering gun. Lay the glue on the black part , then place the painted pieces on. I used the soldering gun to melt the painted pieces and the black part together just like how the factory did it. The outside pieces go on first , then the center surround. I suggest letting the glue dry for 12 hours before installing in the truck.

I vote no inserts

I'll mount it and see how I feel about it with it. But most likely will end up removing it.

Here is a pic of the air bag I used. Really like how it looked , to me it gives it a little bit of an updated look to the steering wheel.

On the hunt for a Denali cluster or at least a 2500 cluster with the trans temp gauge , Denali dash surround and center console , and the roof dvd player(missing when I bought it).

After the grille is done , I will be color matching the rear vent covers (stock ones) not going to do esky ones. Would love to find a denali rear bumper as mine is pretty dented up. Not sure what I want to do about the front bumper , it's pretty trashed and the lower valance is garbage , doesn't have the openings for the foglights either.

Why not get a plain, paint to match steel front bumper? Maybe a Z71 lower front valance with the round/oval fog light openings.

Have thought of that. I like the Z71 valance better than the Yukon one.

Absolutely. There's also a factory lower air dam you can bolt on that makes it appear lower.
