My 99 Yukon Build Thread

Looks great! Have you ever considered painting your chrome grille trim ring white to match the truck. I'm thinking about doing that to mine, and since you've done so much colormatching, it might look good.

Also, rather than paint, why don't you get that grille guard powdercoated?

Those wheels are great, so clean and yet still eye catching. What do you have planned next?

Thanks man!
Yeah I've actually thought about either painting it white or black... I think the next time I have my grill guard off I will just plasti-dip it white to see how I like it.

The next thing I'm going to do is completely replace the carpet. It's really not that bad, but I'm way too OCD for the few stains that I do have.
I'm on a constant lookout for some descent leather seats on Craigslist or junkyard. Other than that, I think I'm going to start saving for a lift. I really only want 3-4" of lift but I think I am going to start looking at 6" lifts. I just won't crank the front up and leave a leaf out or whatever it takes in the rear. I know once I do that though I'll wanna go higher... And bigger tires. lol

Yeah, I agree, the chrome ring painted white looks pretty cool.

It will look like this

Scored the rest husky mats off eBay for $60... Just snagged the rear cargo one from Craigslist for $50.

Nice score on the mats! I always seem to just miss the good deals on Craigslist.

My god I must say this is a sexy build! Will you adopt me and work on my burb? What overhead console is that from? I'm not sure if you stated it or not, didn't see anything about it. just thought I'd ask.

 

[ParadoxHarris]

Looking at the picture again, it looks like you custom fab'd something from the front part of the OHC?

 

[BoxerPitMix]

Thanks!

It is actually an Audiovox overhead console... Discontinued now but you could buy them aftermarket or from what I've read get them as a dealer option. I've seen 3 of them so far - all in Escalades. I lucked out on finding mine that hadn't been hacked up or broken.

 

[ParadoxHarris]

Awesome thanks! Guess I just need to start hitting up these Oregon Pick & Pulls!

So I figured I would start a thread on here about my '99 OBS... I did the same thing for my ZR2 on another forum and that thread lasted 7 years because it was a never ending project... I've got a feeling this is going to turn into the same thing.

The day I picked it up in mid December 2012 with a hair over 66,000 miles. Kinda dirty - been pretty much sitting in a garage collecting dust. Only had 4,000 miles put on it in 3 years.

One owner, garage kept. Claimed it had a nasty problem with it since it had a miss. Took it home for $3,500. I went ahead and replaced the injectors on the 2 cylinders that it was misfiring on, and still had a misfire... Didn't take long to realize he had placed two of the plug wires back in the wrong spot.

Bought some cheapo clear corners for it from eBay... Not the ones I play to keep - but didn't cost much so I'm playin with em.

Off with the running boards and aluminum fender trim... And some clear turn signals.

That Navigator console looks really nice.
