Looks good! I'm not into "murdered out" cars but this looks good. I love rugged luxury SUV's. Someone on here posted pictures of a Lexus with Land Cruiser bumpers, a lift and nice off-road rims and tire, and it looked great.

Wow, it's amazing just what removing the running boards does for the look of that thing.

Dang, that's cheap for what you get. How many miles on it? I'm wondering if I should have done this instead of getting a Silverado.

Noise Complaint posted:Wow, it's amazing just what removing the running boards does for the look of that thing. Yeah, combined with pulling the roof rails, it totally changes the look of the truck. Also, seconding the headlight polishing. I used a Sylvania kit a while back and it took a couple hours of work, but I was very happy with the results. If you do decide to polish them, do yourself a favor and remove them from the truck if you can.

It looks really good. Personally I'd leave the door handles alone (a little chrome isn't bad, and that's pretty much all that's left) and put the Cadillac badge back on the grille, which looks nice in body color, I might add. It's one thing to tone it way down, another to make it look like the de-branded cars from tire commercials.

What a beast, looks fantastic. My friend in Colorado is looking for a cheap luxury off-roader, going to recommend one of these for sure.

Those things are rad as gently caress, I drove a Lexus land cruiser across the upper Midwest once on dirt roads and forest roads and whatnot. Not sure how cheap that's gonna be in Colorado, they usually pay outrageous amounts for anything Toyota 4x4.

How did you deal with the auto ride and the self leveling suspension?

Very nice. My avalanche is from that same generation of gm long wheel base vehicles and has put up with a surprising amount of abuse. The only real damage I managed to do was shearing one of the bolts on the front driver upper control arm after going off a drop way too fast. If you do decide you want some running boards again, the tubular ones off of an avalanche 03-06 "without" the body cladding should be able to mount up if you nab the brackets with it. They'll sit out from the body and are much better in day to day use while looking a hell of alot nicer.

Fuelslt1 posted:The leveling kit is just torsion keys for the front and spring perch + shock mount spacers for the back. The auto ride & self leveling shouldn't be affected. Did you have any issues with alignment afterwards and what kit did you use?

leica posted:Shove it up his rear end? There is a continuum from full bro-trucking, to mall-crawling, to actually using it off road. I was wondering where on that continuum he fell. Elmnt80 posted:Did you have any issues with alignment afterwards and what kit did you use? The front torsion raise is super simple and doesn't make any substantive alignment changes. I think his rear lift is just spacers/brackets, so there's a good chance it's a generic kit. It's easy to get a quick couple inches out of those trucks. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Mar 5, 2016 |

There's a guy at my gym that does this with a beat to poo poo Subaru wagon. I can never tell if he's serious or not but I'd like to think it's the latter.

I'm digging your truck. There is a TV show I shamelessly watch called Chicago PD and their vehicle of choice is a blacked out Escalade that I always thought would look great as an off-roader.

I don't mean to rag on your new ride, but the entire range of Denial trucks (even with the new blacked up kit) always look like the Tahoe...  good choice on the wheels, though

Looks great! Minus the grill it could be mistaken for a Tahoe, especially from the rear 3/4 view. I like the idea. Luxury interior with a tough exterior.

Fun fact, there were 3 versions of escalade during this time period, the regular tahoe based one, the avalanche based one (EXT) and a suburban based one (ESV). The latter two were on a seperate chassis along with the yukon xl which is a modified full size truck chassis. The Escalade ESV is sadly the only one without the optional 8.1l engine. God knows why, It probably would have sold like hotcakes.
