Lol, funny--Old Guy. I like it, but it would be better if those center bars were straight up/down, instead of splayed outwards. But much better imo.

yeah my dad always sees me watching videos and wanted to start his own channel, so I've been helping him with filming and content and whatnot

I'm still trying to figure out if the Yukon front end is the same as the Yukon Denali, as far as offroad bumpers go (Move, Fab Fours, etc)

Also looking into doing a Sierra front end swap...

I'd think they're basically the same--underneath anyway. So I don't see why a Fab Four meant for a Yukon wouldn't work for you.

It’s a little different where the grille has a more defined dip on a Yukon than a slight and smooth dip on the Denali. Come to think of it I’ve never seen a nali or esky with a move bumper

^this

also the offroad bumpers are different even between 1500 and 2500 series trucks, so I imagine there's more to it than meets the eye

thinking I might just sell the Denali and pick up a true 4x4 Z71 Tahoe, since I LOVE that front end and true 4x4

however, I NEED my steering wheel controls now that I have them lol. so spoiled. and I do not wanna go from the 6L to 5.3L... so we'll see

Soooo build a Z71 Denali?? You got the Denali. Frankenstein that joker into a one of a kind!

I definitely considered it lol

my frankenstein would also have a cat eye front end

but everything in this world costs money. I think in a week I'll pull my Grand Prix out of storage, revert the Denali to mostly stock, and throw it up for sale and see what happens

my sister is moving to South Carolina in May and I'll be down there for a week helping her get settled, and then be back there on the 4th of July, and again at the end of September, so I'm planning to look at some rust free goodies

I had an 05 Grand Prix for a couple years. Was a good car. Probably should have hung on to it but we outgrew it. If I would have known I’d eventually need an mpg car again I would have hung on to it

Had a 01 grand prix. Silver and super clean. I do miss it, had zero issues with it.

Just got rid of my 98 GTP last year. Didn't get the attention it deserved with the tahoe and Mustang. Part of me wishes it and the Mustang could trade places.

Tahoes and Grand Prixes kinda go together lol. There is a LOT of crossover in the LS4 and Tahoe groups on facebook.

If you're a GM fan, you can't go wrong with these vehicles.

I forgot how much fun it was to drive a "fast" little car until today lol. haven't seen the dang thing in nearly 6 months

really need to wash the Denali today at some point

I like the tweeters in the a-pillars. Did you make them? I need something like that for my truck

evidently MyCustomSpeakerPods makes A-Pillars for our vehicles now:

3" and tweeter mount, pretty badass

I might have to try them sometime

had a really cool experience and ran into one of my old trucks today while driving home from work

got out and had a chat with the dude and he's still loving it. 15k miles put on since he bought it from me in May of 2018 I think

I offered him the Denali for the Tahoe straight up trade, but it doesn't seem like he's interested :(

the running boards were all rusted out

and it already has a new owner :p

had it posted for 1.5 hours at $7,000.00 and a guy drove 2 hours to come pick it up for his wife, and they both loved it

onto the next chapter!
Wow--that's awesome! Leave your system in it lol?
