Hi I am new to this forum and would like to post a few pics and a link to a video and see if maybe someone out there might be able to help. my boyfriend rescently bought me a 1998 gmc jimmy. we were told by the previous owners that it was a one of a kind tommy hilfiger concept car. that it was designed for concept cure and was raffled off for breast cancer awareness, at 10.00 a ticket. I am asking for help because i would liketo start making improvements, but don't want to depreciate the value of it by making changes. THANK YOU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X54f6B9KWNU

 

just had a gmc rep run the vin numbers and it is the real deal!! thanks for all your help!!

 

beachbumb3286 ... how could you improve that truck?

Its one of a kind and will draw lots of attention.

I'm not sure what sort of improvements you had in mind, new sound system? New paint? More horses under the hood?

What were you thinking about changing?

 

a new paint job was at the top of my list, and yes a new system, boyfriend is already talking abount changing the tires. i am very happy with it otherwise. i haven't driven it yet. lol needed a tranny and is the shop we hope to get it back tommorrow.have been shopping around for a few monthes and this by far was the best deal we have come across.

 

Welcome to the forum!
Looks good. Definately unique. It could use a new set of chrome rims. I don't think thats the wheel that were themed with the vehicle. Looks like a set of el cheapos.
Id definately buy a set of 5 tires and rims...
Interior gets good marks in my opinion. Never seen one like it.

Do your Envoy headlights have the true HIDs?

 

yes the headlights are true hid found out because one of needs replaced at 80.00 a bulb,and they say to change them both at the same time. i agree about the rims and he already wanted to change the tires. still not out of the shop.

 

Its got some character for sure, I suggest re-spray the white/red to the same blue color rest of body(nice shade of blue BTW) and leave the other hilfigur accents as is, get a new set of rims and it will be super clean!

 

80 bucks a bulb huh? Damn.

The bulb number is D2S. GM changed the bulb color in the 2001 model, so if only one needs replacing, you need to match it up with the correct color temp.

I could probably rig a $30 phillips bulb to work with it... don't know how experienced you are with working on it, but if you need to, I have AIM and I could probably walk you through most of it.

 

with it being 1 of a kind he wants to keep it all original,so painting it all blue is out of the question. good idead though.tires n rims a first on the list to change. i want to keep the HIDS so i will buy the bulb. i drive a 2000 S10 now and it sits low so i get blinded by everyone elses HIDS, i will glady return the favor.lol

 

thats understandable, just a little bold (for me) as is... Definetly keep the HID... one of the best mod's with great benifit.

Enjoy
