al_burpe, I really do want to figure out if it is possible to get the old Avalanche front end on the Yukon, if it's possible without too much custom work I just might have to do it. I also agree that the Chevy front end looks better than that of GMC, but I am going to hide my 36" light bar...

Do it, I wanna see, get the 270 awning and figure it out from there. I like fun projects like that, they tend to inspire others. Oh, yeah, like 02TahoeMD said, you don't want to mount it to straight up factory rails or crossbars.

Mighty Dodge Ram, I wish I had a later year Yukon so I had the 6 speed tranny, but for the price I paid for mine I can not complain. Also, just did 500 miles today and AFM is still working and doesn't sound too bad. I am glad I can show you the Sub's off road capability. Keep in mind that a 6"...

Regcabguy, Why do you suggest I upgrade the brakes to powerstops? My brake goal in a vehicle is to be able to lock up the brakes, I have exactly the same rotors and calipers as 2007 Yukon on my 2000 Suburban and can lock up all 4 37" on dirt and occasionally on pavement. Only other brake...

al_burpe, White is a Chevy front end, identical to an Avalanche, gold is the GMC front end. I like the GMC grill better for my application because I have a perfect spot in it to mount a 36" light bar without impeding the cooling airflow or chopping up the grill itself like I did with the my...

Rear end adventures! From left to right: Bilstein stickers, 3" coil spacers below, 2" coil spacers top, rear sway bar links, Bilstein 5100 shocks 24-187237, Moog HD coils 81069, Z71 OEM coil from a different truck. So initially I decided to do a split the level kit install into two parts...

2007 Yukon XL 37" tires, no lift

What size tires are you running right now? Can you post a pic from the side to see how they clear the fenders? I just finished a 2" "level lift" up front and looking for a set of small tires until I get the body lift in, 4.56 gears and ready to bolt up the 37s. I am torn between 285/70R17...

Best advise I can give anyone and everyone is stop with the online polls and question which rig to get. Go out and get the one that catches your eye, the one you will smile every time you see, the one that will draw you into the drivers seat and out on the road. That's the perfect vehicle for...

President Bill CB radio install. In my previous Suburban I installed a froward firing speaker CB radio in the space where the tape deck used to be. Do not have such a thing in the Yukon. Next choice was just above the driver's windshield visor, so it's tucked up and out of the way, however even...

Video of front end level with Bilstein 5100 shocks. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

Haven't had much progress here, just busy using this thing for daily yard work. Got it up on a couple ramps today. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

Front 2" lift: adjustable Bilstein 5100s One of the goals for this truck was to install a level kit that raises or levels the truck by increasing the preload on the coils or adding spacers. I am going to break this up into two separate write ups: front and rear. This is how Yukon sits...

Walkaround of the snorkel rough clamp up. The more I watch this the more it grows on me and will most likely be bolting it up really soon. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

First walkaround with 37" tires on a completely stock 2007 GMC Yukon XL. No spacers, no lift no fender trimming. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

Panthers64, Thank you, me too.

Video of transferring over the roof rack. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

MichaelK10, I went with Bilstein 5100s up front because I am very budget minded and was able to snag a pair of open box front 5100a for $135 shipped. I had all the tools and the time to take apart old struts, assemble and install the Bilsteins. Also in the near future I will have 37" tires...

Found my old snorkel, should it go on the Yukon? I was cleaning my garage and found the snorkel, of course I had to clamp it to the fender just to see how it looks and if there is a remote chance that it will be close enough to actually install. Snorkel I had on my 2000 Suburban I believe...
