last weekend i drove for almost 7 hours straight from Yuma to Phoenix and Florence and back with one or two breaks, and if you have seen the heat wave in Arizona the temperatures were over 120 degrees. :flame: She got through it with no issues. So it proved she is road worthy in brutal conditions. Also proves my bouncing oil gauge can't be reality. It bounces without even starting the engine. So i am not sure what that could be considering i just replaced the oil pressure sensor.
Overall, i am Happy with this Denali. Super comfortable the whole way

i was Just about to pull the trigger on a new set of U2-55's when i came across a rare set of wheels about 3 hours away. I had been scouring cali and az CL for something different and then i decided on these. The day they popped up on craigslist i arranged a meeting in Tempe. i know what these wheels are worth and i got a pretty good deal. i paid $750 for the full set with tires. 2 tires are great, other 2 are about 50% but i will probably throw a new set of matching 305/40/22's on them once i get around to actually putting them on.

Foose Nitrous 6

Chip designed these specifically for our platform so they are hubcentric.
They were made in 2 different offsets and only in a 22in and a 24in.
They each have 2 hidden (behind the face) valve stems. 1 for TPMS, 1 reg.
They are discontinued and that means if i mess one up i am screwed.
But i dig them
