Our pal Henry @TxasYukonXL is in Katy and may know of some Houston area stuff.

Good to see another burb here.

Had an 01 Yukon XL may she rest in peace...would say for starters don't go crazy on lift 6.5" BDS was prob too much... loved the platform but all Ram these days

If you are 4wd the g80 will be just fine for most things...
Are you trying to kit out to sleep in need it to get you to and fro the camp spots

Was limited availability on after-market but with the burb you don't need much

Closer to Cypress than Katy but take the Kayak the woodlands lake and head up to Sam Houston NF for shake down campouts still itching to try out Galveston state park...hadn't bumped into too many folks actually in Houston nice to meet ya
