YUKNTUKN22S Build thread......

[YUKNTUKN22S]

Well after 4 months I finally got my computer at home back with most of the pictures from the build. What the pics consist of is my 1992 GMC Yukon. I started this back in june of 06, frame swap, new panels, new paint, new air bag setup, new wheels, new interior, new motor, new fuel system, and a procharger.

The shell....

That is all Ive got for now. I have got to find the disc with the rest of my build on it. I will post those later.

But here is how the truck sits now. Pretty much finished, But I will be getting rid of the procharger very soon, and be trying something a little quieter.

[Kruznlow69]

awesome build man.. did you have plans to clearance the front coil pockets for the bags? seeing sic 2dr hoes makes me re-consider everyday building my monster and having a more feasable driver..

[YUKNTUKN22S]

Dont plan on going. I dont think I will be able to get it back running by then.

[Gran Patron]

Wow, that some build you got yourself there. Truck came out looking strong at the end.:5stars:

[F4MOU$]

thats awesome man! Im lovin it, especially the blue. one of my favorite colors on trucks!

[bftiedt]

Dont plan on going. I dont think I will be able to get it back running by then.

what so you have it apart again for ??

[YUKNTUKN22S]

what so you have it apart again for ??
Taken the procharger off and going with something else, something quieter. Then redoing the exhaust to come out the back versus dumping at the rear axle. Tennessee will not even test for emissions if the exhaust doesnt go past the rear axle, at least thats what they said when I went. Hopefully I will be out the first of may.(tagged and ready)

[bftiedt]

cool man sounds good cant wait to see it out and about..

[LayDBurban]

hey bro, wow man nice build congrats .. i am in the same boat as we speak.. i saw u did the dash swap also.. what yr motor is it?

[YUKNTUKN22S]

Thanks for the compliment, I bought the motor about 3 years ago as a short block from GM. The heads and the intake are vortec. The color is just like bftiedt said its arrival blue met. Good luck on your build!

Heres a recent pic at ride height,

[Nevr2Lo]

:10: Man.... you did one hell of a nice job on your yukon. It is sweeeet:10: I'm in the middle of converting a 1998 TAHOE 4x4, 2dr. I took a little different direction for the frame. I took a 2wd suburban frame and cut it down just in front of the rear wheels. Then made up a rear frame section with stepnotch out of 2x4 steel tubing. It is comming along but a project this size does take a lot of time and money. Keep the pictures comming it fuell's me to continue working on mine. Again awesome YUKON!!!!

[mrteacha]

you suck!!!! no itnerior pics-specificallywhat seats you're running and any modifications to make them fit...I need ideas man

[bftiedt]

im pretty sure he is running nbs seat out of like a tahoe or suburban

[YUKNTUKN22S]

you suck!!!! no itnerior pics-specificallywhat seats you're running and any modifications to make them fit...I need ideas man

Sorry man, I will take pics tonight. The seats are 2005 tahoe seats heated 6 way power seats. The dash and the door panels are out of a 99 tahoe, the back seat is from a 98 2 door tahoe. The back is torn down right now so Im not sure what thats going to consist of yet. I am also in the works of a center console. More to come, hopefully before winter comes back.

[96thebossgrnchv]

looks great man

[BagginA93chev]

nice project its looking good.

[ikon]

sexy sexy...i keep forgetting we have a projects section now so i miss all this uber nice stuff!!! Keep it up!

Looks good that the same color i did on my last build.. arrival blue on top/HOK Cinnamon/Hok Silver here's a pic of it..

Did you do the wiring for your new cluster and headlight switch ??? i wanted to know if you did it the same way it was on the forums on the interior tech thread??

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/ByOs/jeanbd3.jpg

[YUKNTUKN22S]

The used dash had the wiring for the headlight already and it wired up directly by color code. The window switches were the same way on the door panels. Lovin that paint job on your truck, why did you get rid of it?

[LayDBurban]

i got rid of it so i can get the suburban, i need to have the rear seats for my son, i was tired of having him sit in the xtracab part without a seat it was dangerous at times when we cruised, so i got the burban for my son safety and either ways it's was basically the same truck but bigger ... i loved that paint job man.. the truck ended up in Alabama last i heard..

you got more pics of your interior? i'd like to see them.. check out my thread bro i started one on here also.

[YUKNTUKN22S]

Just thought I would post a picture of the new truck. Not going to go crazy on this one just yet, since it will be my daily driver, just the small stuff...maybe a 2-4 take the moldings off, exhaust and some sound.

You know you will not be able to stop once you start modding it.

[Bens95cobra8594]

[YUKNTUKN22S]

OK?????

Yeah I know but since I am trying to keep it just for towing the truck and other things that maybe I wont go crazy with it. But it sure would look good bagged with 22s on it all shaved up. But no, I start on this one I can just see that I wont work on my 2 door as much.

[YUKNTUKN22S]

Just a little update...This is how Its sitting right now. Working on new exhaust, new cam, and new converter. Also rerouting the air valves to each corner instead of in the back, and putting a bolt in c notch in. Shooting to be finished by mid May. More pics to come.
http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd188/YUKNTUKN22S/100_1080.jpg

[bftiedt]

lookin good man! have you decided what your gonna do ab your exhaust yet? when you get it rollin if you want just swing it by the shop and im sure we could figure out somthin for it. Im prolly gonna be gettin you to send me that bumper cover here in a few days too

[YUKNTUKN22S]

Not a problem I will see what I can do on the price on the cover, just let me know. Hopefully I will get it mobile in a couple of weeks and trailer it up to your shop and we can mess with the exhaust. Thanks again

[Bens95cobra8594]

Projects are never truly done... are they?

Keep up the great work, really like the project.

[Slamd99Tahoe]

How hard was it to get those seats to fit, do you sit higher in those then the stock ones. Nice looking YUKON!!!!

[bftiedt]

lets see some pics of that exhaust!!

[YUKNTUKN22S]

Yes sir, it looks good tucked up under there, thanks alot for helpin me out. I finally fired it up tonight, it sounds good( I think) I can barely hear my neighbors yelling at me with that Procharger. But I did take it for a ride and It sounds good when it gets goin. I am putting the front back on it now so I will get some pics up soon. I would have to say I was suprised when I saw your tahoe sitting outside your shop today. You work quick! It looks good though!

[bftiedt]

thanks i hope to have it all wet sanded by the end of the week i think that will make a world of difference

[Low88]

sick ass tahoe. good work man

[Marcos]

How did I miss this thread! Looks awesome.

[Pre-Game]

love that truck man, i have a question on how you wired the instrument panel, i was planning on doing somehting like that myself.. my cluster went doo doo and nothing works when my headlights are on, so i was wondering if you could help me out on how you wired everything up?

[Gran Patron]

That's great! Love the interior.:cool:

[Crazed179]

insane build man, wish that I could get a new daily and strip mine down that far. just can't find anybody willing to fund it :). my checks aren't gonna cut all that. gotta get some more pics though that thing is awesome

[AirBagd]

Nice and clean. Love the two-door Hoes!

[YUKNTUKN22S]

love that truck man, i have a question on how you wired the instrument panel, i was planning on doing somehting like that myself.. my cluster went doo doo and nothing works when my headlights are on, so i was wondering if you could help me out on how you wired everything up?

The guages were pretty simple to wire up, The only thing was finding an a.c.c. source for the alternator which I ran mine off of the old abs power source. The main power for them is run off a switch on my switch panel, and the lights are run off of the main headlight switch. The speedo has to wire into the vehicle speed sensor, which is best explained on the autometer instructions. Everything else is simple, the oil pressure is mechanical, water temp is electronic, the tach is wired into the distributor, and the fuel is wired into the sending unit on the cell which is 0-90 ohm, 0 being empty 90 being full. I love having it compared to what I had before, also it is very accurate. Hope that helps.

[YUKNTUKN22S]

Pulled it out of the garage tonight, put the front end back on it. Also I got a new back glass with out the wiper:rocking: Will start cleaning it up for the next weekend. I will try to get some real decent pics here soon but here are a couple of it out of the garage for the first time in 2 months.

What all engine work is done on your Hoe or is the charger about it?

[YUKNTUKN22S]

355 Splayed 4 bolt block, Scat forged rotating assembly, vortec heads, xfi comp cam, GMPP tbi intake, tbi mods, tick flow fpr, Wysco 1 5/8 headers, high flow cats, flowmaster 40 series mufflers. Plus the procharger that now has a 3.4 pulley which puts it at about 9lbs at 4000, with a stock procharger bypass.

Can I Use Yours Since U Dont.

[Crazed179]

I think I'm gonna go cry now.

btw yukntukn22s, where did you do all your frame work at? do you own a shop or go to a tech college or something

[YUKNTUKN22S]

I was a parts manager at a local body shop, here in nashville, and that is where the frame work and the body was done afterhours. Me and a friend built the frame using a shark measuring system just to make sure it true. Other than the frame and the paint every thing else was built in my garage. Plus I dont work for that shop anymore.

[wagonwhatmp5]

[YUKNTUKN22S]

[F4MOU$]

dude, your truck is so clean, I love it.

[91blkstpsd]

The wedding is at one and it takes me a little over an hour to get up there to the show. Wonder how long everyone will hang around till?

[YUKNTUKN22S]

I have no idea, but I would say depending on how long the wedding is would decide it for me.

[Nevr2Lo]

This truck gets :10: :10: across the board!!!! I like the tails awesome job. I wish my tuck was that far along, it has been kind of a slow process. But it wiil all come together. Need more pics.

JimmyP + RailinChevy + 2 door tahoe = YUKNTUKN22S

[kev2809]

man i didnt realize you kepts the clear lights and tinted them, i was wondering how you got that bulge on the reverse light. if you dont mind me askin, how much was that frame? i wanna do the same thing on my 4wd suburban but wondering how much a used frame would run me.

[tahoen]

So what did you about your gas tank?? Where is it, And how you fillin' her up?




And,

How hard was it to get those seats to fit, do you sit higher in those then the stock ones. Nice looking YUKON!!!!



?

[Choptn]

he has a fuel cell and it fills in the back cargo area I dont know about the seats

[YUKNTUKN22S]

So what did you about your gas tank?? Where is it, And how you fillin' her up?




And,





?
Choptn is right on the cell, and the seats were very easy to put in. It just needed a bracket to raise up the inside mounts. They dont sit higher at all either.

[YUKNTUKN22S]

The used 2wd tahoe frame was 500.00. I got mine out of Florida LKQ which is a nationwide company. You can search for one on car-part.com and maybe find one local to you.

[kev2809]

that used to be pick a part right? i got one in houston down here i can check out. did they just have the frame all ready or you had to completely disassemble it yourself?

[YUKNTUKN22S]

No they disassembled and delivered it. But they did leave quite a few things on it.

[kev2809]

damn, well thats not too bad. but didnt you have to buy the 2wd front suspension? im not sure how i would switch mine to a 2wd, even if i do keep the frame i still might wanna just switch to 2wd suspension.

[YUKNTUKN22S]

I think the right front knuckle was intact on there, which I used the upper control arm from. But everything will have to be new on the front, control arms, all of the steering, and then I used belltech spindles on mine. But you will for sure have to change out the frame on the front. I will try to find some pictures of where I cut the frame.

[kev2809]

damn..so i would need everything in the front and i would still have to cut and weld the front of a 2wd frame on my existing frame? is it shapped differently or something, or the 2wd stuff doesnt bolt on the 4wd frame?

[YUKNTUKN22S]

No its different, there is nothing you can reuse from your 4wd frame other than the steering gear and some of the linkage. So now would be the best time for tubular arms and spindles and frame notches and so and so forth. Just DO IT!!!

[kev2809]

lol, seems like a lot of damn work though. if i could find some 22's that would tuck right like a 2wd then i would probable just leave it, but i know if i keep this burban long enough im gonna wanna bag it. so i would eventually need a 2wd frame anyways...hmm, maybe a future project down the road :biggrin:

[bftiedt]

you dont need a 2wd frame you can use torsion style brackets and bag the 4x4.. i did it , so can you!

[YUKNTUKN22S]

If he just wanted to bag it, but he said he wanted to change everything to 2wd. But I would have suggested that if wanted to keep everything just to set it up like yours.

[kev2809]

i would only wanna switch to 2wd frame so i can lay it out harder. your truck looks good bftiedt, but i like the 2wd frame slammed look. but if im not gonna bag it, the only reason for the 2wd front suspension is to have the rims tuck under a regular drop.

[91blkstpsd]

Im waiting....For Havoc pics!! :lol: Do you have any cause I really wished I could have made it.

you can get a 4x4 to lay out hard. you could get it to lay frame no problem. check out this link http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forums/general-discussion/street/4x4-street/179591-4x4-lowered-bagged-owners-check-12.html#post3344671 its slaminfx tahoe... he is layin frame on 20s with a 265/35 tire. if you are gonna switch the frame and all of that you might as well just sell your 4x4 and buy a 2wd and go from there.

Yeah I want to go but as of right now I'm not. If it wasnt labor day weekend I would.

[kev2809]

but can it lay frame on 22's?

[YUKNTUKN22S]

Yes you can get it to lay frame, but the 4wd frame sits lower compared to the 2wd. 2LOW4ND has a real nice write up on the 4wd street forum on here with his maroon truck, and if I didnt swap my frame that is how I would have done it.

When you getting new valvecovers? And I vote to powdercoat the intake manifold and accessory brackets. Maybe even the intake tube.
Couple colors I can get that would look good on that engine.

Here is a link to what I use if youre interested.

[YUKNTUKN22S]

I agree, when I park it I will be spending my time putting goodies under the hood. Some powdercating would be real nice! What do you think on the front half of the procharger? Ive got the back side polished but the front half is almost impossible to get perfect. I will have to get some pictures of it( I think there are some towards the begining of the thread)

Ive got some sheetmetal valve covers but with tuning the fuel and changing out everything 500 times to get it tuned I havent put them on yet. I have heard about some centerbolts coming out this fall that are suppose to be the sh*t. I believe that one of the guys that run around with some of the hot rodders in Knoxville has come out with them, I will try to get you a picture but they're bada**.

Sweet! The other side of the charger can be done pretty easily too. But how hard is it to disassemble? And are those valve covers similar to the fabbed ones Im using? I had to modify mine some to work but think they turned out good. If you find the other let me know, ill be interested in them.

[tahoehtp]

if you can get hold of 2wd frame easier.
I'm redoing front setup on mine after I remove front differential. that's the only thing ristricting mine from lay frame now.
