96 yukon DD and Project

Last week I ended up trading my 97 2wd silverado for a 96 yukon 4wd. I loved the truck, but with a growing family I needed the space, Plus i recently sold my 80 chevy 4x4 on 35s and was really missing the 4x4 in the winter, So i figured instead of having insurance on two vehicles I would combine my 4x4 and daily driver.

The tahoe is in Great shape for the year. Its a 96 4 door with 130k on it. 4x4 works great, body in good shape with one door fading a little bit. Interior is nice and clean. A big plus to the trade is my jls didnt have nearly the airspace they needed in the truck box. In the new box in the tahoe they sound much better.

Already done:
Ordered Hids
Cleaned Carpet and Interior.
Changed all fluids
Radio and sub installed
Led's installed in dash

Coming Very soon:
Pull Chrome at bottom, badging, and pinstripe
Tint Front 2 windows
Seafoam truck
Fix small oil leak coming from Oil cooler adapter
Clear Corners and running lights
tint taillights
Brush Guard

Hopefully in the next year:
6 inch lift
35s
4:56 gears with rear locker

Distant:
Repaint

Go BIG or stay home. I like it. Kids will need some step bars.

Re: 96 yukon DD and Project

alright guys my buddy had this grill guard sitting in his garage, So he said i could have it if i wanted it. I installed it tonight, I like the center piece but im not sure if i like the side pieces, I would like some opinions. tomorrow I plan on gettin some better pics.

If i do put the sides on they will be painted or bed coated because one side is pretty rusty.

thanks

Very bad pictures. But today I picked up some 285s for 200 bucks, and some free wheels from a buddy of mine. Cranked the bars for 1.75 of a inch and 2 inch blocks in the rear

Man that thing looks good. I'm also a big fan of black trucks.
