Guys, I'm selling my 2002 Yukon XL 2500 8.1. It has 210K miles with a recently (2016) rebuilt 4L85E transmission that included a billet converter and TransGo shift kit. Motor was compression checked in 2016 before taking my family and pulling our 9K travel trailer through the rockies. Interior...

I'll get pics up soon, but I can't sleep onto because i designed the system to fit in the back with the third row bench seat folded forward. So the distance between the back of the "shelf" and the tailgate is only 48". I'm short, but not that short. I wanted to keep the third row in the truck...

So I'm making a last minute trip to deer hunt tomorrow. Only staying one night, but it's going to be cold. My buddy that normally brings the camper isn't coming so I'll be by myself. I have a drawer system that takes up whole cargo area of my Yukon XL and I really don't want to take it out. I...

Here's a look with it inside the truck...

Well, got my rear storage mostly built this weekend. Actually took way less time than I thought it would. Of course I had help (my 8 year old daughter, who is an excellent measurer!!) What I did was pretty much design this as a simple (I have zero wood working skills) design that would...

Nice rig! Shocks definitely do NOT control ride height (unless you have AutoRide) but definitely worth a change if you're unsure of their mileage. I highly recommend the Fox 2.0 for forest rutted road use. They also drastically improved the ride on my 2500 Yukon. Good luck, keep the pics coming!!

Well, I just got all the materials to start building my box. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to post pics after seeing yours. It's awesome!! Mine will work, but it won't look near as nice. You could start a business!

Very nice!!! How's the street ride with those Icon's?

Holy cow, 33k???!!! That's amazing!!! I doubt ethanol free will make a difference worth the cost. There's really no way to make the 8.1 "efficient". Imagine two rows of four 1 liter bottles. That's the motor turning at avg1,800 rpm. Kinda impressive to me that it even does 11mpg!!! Honestly...

I have the steering brace kit but haven't installed yet due to time. I've been traveling a lot for work and right now on a 2 week vacation with the fam. By the time I get back I'll be scrambling to get the rear drivers and rear hatch door locks replaced. They stopped working, and I finally got...

How did that happen? I definitely would t expect that from a Cooper!!!

We've had many, many tahoes at work (law enforcement) and they've all gone around 200k. And even with those miles they had to be pried from the hands of the agents that had them. That's actually originally why I looke at the 3/4ton burbs and eventually found my Yukon XL. To me, if you're going...

Add me to the construction list!!

Wow, been pursuing this forum a couple years and completely missed that whole subform!! Thanks!

Guys, I know everyone "stores stuff" in their rigs. That's kinda all an expo rig is about. But I have been searching and I haven't really find many pics/info on how guys are doing it in SUV's. I'm trying to get a storage system put together for my rig. Not for camping necessarily but mostly for...

I just installed the Cognito stage 6 kit without the torsion keys. I also chose the Fox 2.0 shocks. They're AMAZING!!!!

Great trip, great report! We LOVE our Ykon XL 2500 8.1. We also have little ones and pull a camper. It's certainly not "over landing" by world standards but it sure is fun!! And in the USA where you're prob never further than 100 miles to a campground it's hard to overlook the convenience and...

Honestly, the jayco isn't my favorite. It's really tight inside and no room really for anyone to "hang out" in there. The couch and dining table face the same direction making conversation difficult. So we stay outside, which is great but the. Defeats the point of hauling this beast around. I...

Wow, that is a really great setup. I'm interested in hearing more about the trip and things you learned about your setup along the way. Can we expect a decent trip report?

I'll go ahead and give a plug for Cognito suspension parts. Their kits are awesome, and the ride is awesome. You can just crank the bars and use their control arms to gain droop back. The shocks are really valves perfectly and street / off road ride is really great. Not cheap though. I have...
