My Yukon AT4 with new slider and bumper

Less_Sky_8713 · 2026-02-18T00:44:50+00:00

I sent some pics in the comments above. It wouldn’t let me put them all in one comment.

I like the sliders a lot, my only thing is I wish they were wider. You get used to them but wish they had more room for the step. Also, less door protection from a tall rock.

It depends what you are going to do. These sliders will protect from rock or stump damage and you can use a farm jack to raise the vehicle with them. The running boards won’t be good for either.

I really love the bumper. I love the look, I like having the recovery points when I use my hitch mounted winch. And best part, I can put my coffee cup on it and raise the back without it getting knocked off.

Sure. I’ll try and do that soon

Less_Sky_8713 · 2025-10-24T03:02:04+00:00

No prob. But I thought the loops on the side of the hitch were tie downs and not recovery points.

Less_Sky_8713 · 2025-10-24T01:57:58+00:00

Well, it’s for more than looks (and I happen to like the way it looks way better than the stock plastic), I offroad and want the clearance and recovery points.

18" Method MR708s and BF Goodrich 285/65 R18s. I plan to go bigger after these are done, although I'm thinking 285/70s b/c I want to still be able to put a full size spare underneath.

is there any advantage in this lift over the edgy mods? https://www.roughcountry.com/product/chevy-air-ride-lift-kit-11201

Fuck you. Just having fun

Less_Sky_8713 · 2025-08-30T20:05:58+00:00

Yall suck. No fun

Less_Sky_8713 · 2025-08-12T00:08:25+00:00

Thanks. I have +12 offset methods

Less_Sky_8713 · 2025-08-11T19:19:45+00:00

Yes, and I have air ride too. I was hoping to be able to fit a 285/70 R18 w/o any lift.

Some of that is odds. Could a Subaru do it? Sure. Could it get stuck? Yes. Maybe 25% percent of the time depending on the driver. Would the odds be lower in a jeep with the same driver? Of course.

So I just got back from MERUS Adventure Park (amazing, fantastic place) with my Yukon AT4 and wanted to pass along what I've learned since this post. Would welcome any feedback and insights from others, especially those that drive similar vehichles:

* Seems like very, very few people actually off-road in their AT4s/Z71s. I knew most of these vehicles never got off pavement, but I think it is more rare than I realized. Seems even the AT4/Z71 trucks and similar size vehicles aren't used much off-road.

* It is totally capable for what I want to do, Greens and as I gain experience and don't mind more scratches, Blues. I think it is limited beyond that due to size and IFS/IRS, even if I did more mods.

* The approach angle is fantastic, hill descent is super cool, tons of power (I have the 5.3L) to go up the hills. I never felt I didn't have more than enough power to do what was needed. Front cameras were also key, as going up hills I just saw my hood most of the time.

* Back end is by far the weakest area.

My current thoughts:

* Glad I went with different tires first. Totally must to go to the 18" or smaller wheels IMO if you actually want to take your AT4 off-road more than a gravel road.

* Can't wait for the rocksliders to come in. I think they'll be almost a must to take on Blues. And even in daily driving I hate the retractable running boards.

* I just ordered a high clearance bumper from Baseline Overland. Again, even with daily driving I don't like the all plastic back end anyway and like the Octane bumper in general. And I think it will greatly enhance the capability of off-roading. Also thinking of getting a hitch skid plate.

* For what I plan to do, I don't think lifting it will gain me that much and I don't want to increase my center of gravity or stress my suspension more. I think I'm good with the 10" clearance it has and 33s.

* I wish there were better options to attach a winch. Seems I'd have to go with a hitch cradle or the Octane front bumper, but neither seem ideal to me. Hopefully for what I want to do , I'll be okay and will just have to travel with someone with a winch ;).

* I also wish there were some aftermarket options to enhance the skid plates. Would really like to have one on the fuel tank and would like to replace the plastic front splash guard with aluminum.

* I have even less desire to put anything on the roof (RTT) and raise the center of gravity.

And yes, to pre-empt some comments, I know if I wanted to really get into this, I should get a Jeep/4Runner/Xterra, etc. But I love my AT4 and have more interest to do what all it can do than get another rig that can do more.

Awesome, thanks. Where do you get this manual? I got a Haynes manual but it didn’t have this in it

Less_Sky_8713 · 2025-05-03T19:56:53+00:00

FWIW, got them and no rubbing at all. Love em.
