2015 Yukon XL Denali 4x4 Build Thread

[Maximusdafarmer]

Just wanted to get this started, will continue to post as things progress. Currently has American Luxury Coach upfit package on it, 22" wheels extra chrome and door handles, so not a huge change. I am going to blackout certain elements and leave chrome elsewhere to break up the lines.

Have my appointment for tint tomorrow, 80% ceramic tint all the way around except match front windows 18% ceramic.

Next weekend I will be plastidipping the mesh on my grill, not the surround, and my chrome wheels gloss black to judge how I like the look.

Eventual plan is between a level (down) or a 2/3 drop and 24-26" wheels. Looking at the KMC slides or DUB Shotcalla.Waiting to see what drop kits come out during SEMA.

In talks with PlainNSimple to do my headlights, blackout the housing upgrade HID bulb and after SEMA there should be some better options to upgrade the factory C shape DRL to either brighter, whiter LED or a color changing option, I personally like just white or a tiny hint of blue.

Also going to do an LED GMC symbol on my front grill, saw it on a 2500HD and it looks really good it's easier to just show pictures.

Got the tint done... Waiting for next week on the plastdip. Really torn on wheels.. All over the board from 22's with really meaty tires (really like the factory gloss black options) to 26's with rubber bands.. I like me all

Some in progress pictures on the grill and wheels

Finished grill... Supposed to be more of a test to see how a royalty core grill might look but I like the way it turned out so much keeping it this way for now. Wheel pics tomorrow, not as happy how they turned out black isn't deep enough.

And sideshot with the wheels and tint.. All black kind of makes the 22's look small haha

Been offshore for a bit... putting in my order for the rear leveling kit to install this time home and waiting for info on the new switchboards post SEMA

24" OE reps in gloss black with 305/35/24 Terra Grapplers. Really liking the larger wheels and more truck like tires. Still waiting to install the lowering kit until I stop having these steering issues I don't want the dealer trying to blame anything on me.

I will try to get some measurements today. They are 24x10 I bought them from the TBSS store here on the forum, not sure the offset. At full lock I rub a tiny bit. Not sure if the tire I chose being an A/T is just a little beefier and that's why or if it just is what it is. No noticeable difference in ride quality to me

Few more angles. Still blacking out the chrome piece by piece not getting rid of all of it just most.. narrow vertical strip in the window is next
