OHSIXX's 2006 Denali Build

[OHSIXX]

Well after a few years on the forum I decided to throw a page together to show what has been done to my Denali. I was on the fence about doing it because my style is not so noticeable but more subtle in nature. I am more into the slightly altered stock look and try to stay true to the Yukon Denali and not so much add the common parts off of other models(I.E. Esky stuff). I have owned it for a little over 4 years now and still love it as much as the first day I picked it up. It was a 2 owner vehicle with 82K on it when I picked it up-now it currently has almost 110K. I don't have any pics from the day I got it but the closest thing will be one with the fronts tinted. I'll throw up some pics of the Yukon along with some of its mods and a brief listing of what has been done. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.....

Damn @OHSIXX. That is so clean. Nice to see the whole Denali in pictures and all the work put into her. Looking sweet!!

Definitely worth

Now my turn to help you empty $$$ out of your pocket book. Even with the necessary house expenses...you know it's time to get her down just a bit even with the Wisconsin winters. Maybe after the snow clears in 2016. Sure would really set her off even more. Nice work man.

Thanks bud means alot. Payback is a ***** right!? LOL. The drop is first on the list. I got to get over to my buddy's shop and put it on the lift. I want to see if any of my other steering/suspension components are worn out so I can do it all at once. Trust me the mod bug has been bothering me for awhile...gotta scratch that itch soon

 

[Fosscore]

Yeah always nice to get compliments about your truck. Feels good to get a little justification for the $$ and hard work spent putting it all together. I looked back through my thread and found your input in a lot of places that took much $$ out of my pocket. But well worth the end results. Haha.

If that snow gets too deep, find your way down south. Chance of snow ....errr never and the suspension shop is always ready put that drop kit on.

I agree. Your ride has had a major facelift with spectacular results. I'll keep that in mind-my vacation starts over the first of the year-roadtrip

Very clean looking ride. You've got the look I'm going for.

 

[NathanJax]

Such a clean ride!

Thanks alot.

Such a clean ride!

Thank you sir......still waiting on your next project

 

[unoigo]

Very clean indeed! Looks like you know how to take care of the paint! Nice work, looks wet and glossy!

ohisxx and fosscore. You two have great taste in how you have modded your trucks. The paint on both is out standing. As much as i try I can't get mine that nice. But I am trying HAHA. I like the taste full mods on the Denali, I am going for the same look but with the eski rear sail panels and third light. I would like to go full on like fosscore but It's not in the budget.

@#1taho Thx man. Really appreciate it. @OHSIXX has a damn tight ride and the Denali package set her up right from the start. I had a few things to play catch up with the LS. He knows that he pushed a lot of great mod ideas my way. I just had opportunities to follow through and made it happen. The painters really sorted me out the most with the color matching. Pretty happy with how she looks for now…a few other tasteful ideas up my sleeve. Will see how it plays out. He encouraged me through many posts and got me to empty some $$ from my mod wallet. No complaints though. Even the wife finally admitted she liked the 24s and tighter wheel well gap.

Thanks much....I like to keep her shined up for sure.....one bonus is that it is not my daily because I have a work truck so she stays tucked in the garage alot.

@#1taho Thanks alot. I like enough to stand out but not over the top. Black looks so good cleaned up but it is PITA to keep it that way. I'd actually like to get a paint correction done to it. I just use hand applied waxes/sealants from either Adams or SurfCityGarage. I think the Esky mods will look good-I'm just personally not a fan of the NBS 3rd Esky light so that prevented me from doing the conversion. Fosscore's **' has come along way and definitely one of my faves on the site.

@Fosscore Yeah the Denali already was pretty set from the get go with alot of the color matched parts like bumpers and mirrors and such whereas you had to paint yours. Sometimes I feel bad I helped empty your bank account but the end result speaks for itself. I'm glad you did all of that CM'ing cuz that blue is on point! I wish I had a body/paint guy I could trust cuz that HD hood would be done already LOL. I hope sooner than later to add to my build thread....don't blink cuz I'm always thinking of something to do to her....

Love this black girl. Like it's been said before clean looking truck. Great mods have been done to her and the future plans are on point. I'd be extra jelly if you got an HD hood on it. Dropped that truck would look even more amazing. Nice work J, how's everything going with the house?

@Pachanga02 Thanks for the kind words bud....I really want that hood-might have a confident guy to do it-just have to keep my eyes peeled for one locally. I know myself-if it gets dropped-then it will have new wheels too...kinda go hand in hand in my thought process. House is great-1 year of home ownership under my belt. I could have had new wheels and a drop already for the kind of money I've put into it but unlike my Yukon the house will go up in value....I finally have it to my tastes so back to the Denali lol. Hope things are well my friend

Very nice! Love a clean OEM look

Thanks much-appreciate it.

I know slowest build thread on here...my apologies. House stuff takes precedence over mods. I just bought a new furnace/AC combo so it will be awhile before much else is done. I did manage to replace my driver's seat bottom though. I bought it from Richmond Auto Upholstery. Great quality and good customer service. First seat install. Pretty straight forward. Lots of connections but each plug is different so there is no way to confuse them. The 2 nuts and bolts holding the seat in were a slight PITA but nothing a breaker bar couldn't overcome. My seat wasn't as bad as alot that you see on here but that tear was driving me nuts...joys of leather I guess. New seat feels great and looks the part!

 

[Fosscore]

Sweeeet man. Good to see that fresh leather on and what might be the cleanest carpet ever under a seat. Tidy work bench and peg board too. Still one month to go for that ultimate shine.....

Thanks bud...that was after I tried to clean up the coffee that was spilled down the side of the center console and onto the carpet(not by me)...got most of it out or at least it appeared that way lol. If you couldn't tell already-I'm pretty organized....haha

Yup can't wait for that warm weather so I can give her the royal treatment.

 

[Pachanga02]

Very clean indeed. I had called many local spots prices were ridiculous and even the dealer to just get a new cover, but somehow my vin has my truck with tan interior and it has the grey interior so I couldn't even get a cover for my originals. Luckily I found the Esky seats but in the end those needed covers too. Looks good.
