Figured I'd start a build thread to share my work with you guys. Long story short, The motor in my old Ford Ranger crapped out and it was time to buy something a little nicer to drive (more room and power) so I started looking into Fullsize trucks. I was really interested in the OBS trucks and looked at three ECSB's one of them being a 6.5L diesel and a few 4 door Tahoe's but they were out of my price range for something that was going to be a weekend toy. So one night I was on my way home from work and I notice the local used car lot in my town had a 2 door Yukon. So the next day I looked at it,test drove it and bought it.
Specs:
1995 Year model w/168,000 miles
5.7L TBI V8
4L60E Trans
NP241 T-case
10 bolt G80 rear w/3.73 gears
SLE Trim package
Z71 Suspension package
It came with some worn out 285/75/r16 AT's, Flowmaster exhaust w/ cat removed and a billet grill on the truck when I bought it.
The day I bought it back in April of 2011
within the first week I replaced the starter,4wd actuator and added a Brush guard and some KC slimlights.
The paint on my truck was faded and was flaking off on my truck so I decided to repaint it.
August of 2011
New GMC grill and smoothie bumper (in box) from LMC truck
Didn't have access to a paint booth so I poured water on the floor to minimize dust being kicked up.
Base coat
Clear coat
New head lights,turn signal lamps, clear corners, new rear bumper from LMC and windshield. Also bought some Bushwacker OE style flares to give it a new look.
