Looking good man. Always love the Denalis.
Thanks!!
Undertook a couple projects this afternoon:
Replaced the peeling steering wheel trim, and the shifter. I didn't replace the shifter because of the stitching, but because the Tow/Haul button rattled over rough roads and drove me NUTS! I don't know how it got that way, but it was worth replacing. Hoping someone wants it for a project lol.
I also did a small upgrade:
Got the badge overlays from DeVries Signs on Etsy. $16 for the front, and $13 for a rear badge overlay, which will go on later, with some other changes I'll be making. I think it looks pretty great. I have some small B&W American flags on the rear side windows and this matches them pretty well, and goes along with the monochromatic theme of the truck.
That's all for now, but there'll be more updates soon I hope, lol.

Love the overlays on your gmc emblem! That's awesome! I kinda want do that to my gmc logo haha. Love the shifter replacement! I didn't notice until a few months ago when someone pointed out the different in shift handles with the stitches. Crazy. I just picked up an nobs esky shift handle and didn't think to look where stitching was before I paid for it. Lol. Lucked out and it's rear stitching haha. I wonder if there's rhyme or reason to the stitching, like what years they came in what setup, or of it was an esky vs Denali thing.
Apparently it changed after 09. My truck is a super late 09 build (Built October 09, I think it had something to do with the bailouts/bankruptcy) and I had the stitching facing out. Like I said, I didn't hate it, it actually made the leather stand out, but the rattle was KILLING me...

Sweet truck. Kinda partial as I hav an 09 Denali. Have to get my black emblem overlay now
Small update; Safelite came today and replaced the windshield, did a great job. They were supposed to do it Tuesday, but, even though they had the VIN, they sent their tech with 2 standard windshields, not ones for RainSense. So they sent the guy today with the proper windshield, and he just wrapped up a few minutes ago. Did a nice job, and it is Pilkington glass, so I expect it should last a long time.
Couple of quick shots, it's super convenient they come to you. Definitely worthwhile. And my insurance covered 100% of it!

Haha that last pic reminds me of that arnold swartzenegger parody video.Took a few pics yesterday, since it was clean for a minute...
And enjoyed a stogie on the way back to IA:
And he's driving a Sierra
Hahahaha that's funny stuff. But according to the hood bulges and the steering wheel (when he honks the horn), that's either a Tahoe or a Suburban.

Either way he's driving a gm truck, I thought it was perfect lol.
I figured it was a 2500 or 3500 silverado with the hood bulges.

Could be lol. Hard to tell sometimes.
Well, in an odd twist, my dad's business partner needed a vehicle and the Yukon fit the bill perfectly, so it's in his hands now. Which is great, because it frees me up to snag a sweet deal on a 2017 Silverado. I'll fix a few things on the Yukon for him when we both get the time, but I know he'll take good care of it.
