Default Another new ride

Well, i have been trying to find a truck to replace the womans old 97 suburban for a while now. We need an 8 pass truck with 6 kids...

I got her this 05 GMC Yukon XL. Its loaded, leather, 5.3 v8, 4x4. Its in great shape, had an engine fire a while back and insurance put a new engine, hood, grill, wiring harness, rad, a/c parts on it. Her dads bodyshop checked it out and the repairs were all done right. Its got 140km on the odo, 20k on the new engine. The color is weird, its green in the sun, and dark blue not in the sun. Looking real close it seems to have green, blue and gold flakes... Its a stock color as the doorjams and inner fenders all match. We really like it. $15k was the price i paid.

Already ordered 5000k HID kits for the headlamps, highs, and fogs... Also ordered a 15% precut tint kit for all tje windows. Intend on slamming the tbars and doing a rear flip kit or whatever to give it a 2/4 drop or thereabouts.

I wanna do 20s or 22s but the wife rubs curbs too much. I park my truck 2ft from curbs, she rubs em and then moves 2 inches out... Maybe some escalade take offs? I dunno. We will se next spring. She doesnt care about that kind of stuff anyways
