Howdy. I figured I would go ahead and start my build thread as I plan on outfitting my rig for backcountry travel. My Yukon was purchased brand new in 04. It's purpose is to transport myself, my wife and two daughters into the backcountry. We never stay in campgrounds but instead choose to find remote areas to camp. In addition, we like to make a yearly pilgrimage down to Death Valley for a week of exploring. Since I do not use this vehicle for commuting to work, its sole purpose is for trips.
As of yet, I haven't done too much to it except installing a 2" levelling kit. Although, the vehicle is currently in the shop getting fitted with a BDS suspension lift, wheels, tires and sway bar disconnects. It is supposed to be ready this week so I will try and get some photos once I get it back.
In the meantime, here is a shot of what it looked like when I first bought it.
