Minor updates.
Got one of the new batteries here and dropped it in. I ordered a XS Power D3400, but they mistakenly sent an A3400. But lucky me, although I didn't even know the A series existed, it turns out they are the same as the D series except they have a vintage black case, which I love...
I have the same question and have always wondered about using the mounting bolts that are there, fabricating some kind of bracket. Do you know if the bolts are accessible from the underside? My box currently just sits on top of them dangerously, but about to build a larger/heavier one and want...
Replaced a bunch of suspension parts and lowered while I was at it.
Build thread: https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/46and2008denali-suspension-audio-etc.124025/
Thrilled with how it turned out.
Have a couple of questions after....
Ended up with a bit of a squat, trying to adjust by...
And here's a couple nice shots I got at the gym first thing the other morning. The rear has definitely settled over driving for a few days, ended up with a slight squat which I'm going to first attempt to fix by tweaking the autoride sensor links. I really don't want to put the spacers in, so...
I went with the 295s over the 305s because I liked the marginally smaller sidewall and wasn't concerned about the 10mm less width. I was concerned about getting these things all the way here and having major rubbing issues. So 295s seemed like the more responsible/practical option and I felt...
And there she is!
I couldn't have been more thrilled. I agonized over the wheel choice (for like... a realllllly long time) because making the purchase and committing to shipping them here is so final, its not like you can change your mind. I had them shipped from AudioCityUSA.com out...
After that really just had to put the sway bar links back on and get her back on the ground. In hindsight wish I had replace sway bar links front and back (at least). The rear ones were a pain to get off because you have to put a hex head in through the middle to keep the bolt from spinning with...
Ok... Free Travel Mod time. I was running out of daylight on day 2 and really wanted to make some progress on this part in case it took longer or was more difficult than I was anticipating. I started with the passenger side (and HIGHLY recommend this) to get a feel for how it would go before I...
Thanks for the responses guys. I wanted to document what I did for myself, but also as I figured out how I was going to approach all this I found little bits here and there from posts/build threads/videos/etc but its hard to find all the little tricks in one place. I don't think I'll catch them...
And... front end done! We're back on the ground! Loved it instantly - shrink those fender gaps!
Also, although I kinda like the mud flaps on the front, I immediately realized they weren't going to be able to stay, so they came off as soon as I tried to turn it around to start the back...
Time to start putting stuff back together. Disaster strikes immediately, the zerk fitting on the driver side LCA had broken off in shipping. I tried to extract it and could not, decided to put it on anyway because I had to keep moving and will deal later. Need to acquire a straight flute or...
So here's the baseline picture prior taking her apart
I was hoping I could get this done in 2 days, but I planned it for the long New Years weekend just in case, plus I wasn't able to get started as early as I would have liked the first 2 days. The first few hours were far and away the...
I know! I was so happy with it, it was making me sad watching her exterior deteriorate day by day
As for wheels and tires... gotta keep something a secret... I'll be uploading some more pics later today!
Thanks for the welcome - I have been reading for years really, glad to finally participate.
At risk of looking dumb, I was intending for this to be the build thread. Did I put it in the wrong place?
And yes, its a beautiful place to live and I do enjoy having this truck here. My friends call...
Dining room table full of car parts - wifey's favorite thing!
Knocked out the easy headlights first - although after I installed them I immediately went and bought the whitest H1 and H7 bulbs available on island since they came with some that were pretty yellow, still not quite the xenon...
I also had them paint the calipers black while they were at it and he had a "dye" (what he called it) that he put on all the plastic trim pieces (running boards, wiper arms, etc etc). That was a gamechanger to freshening up the look.
So, I sent her to get painted while I waited for everything to start arriving. While she was out for paint I retrieved the badges and grill/trim pieces from the shop so that I could sand down the chrome grill and plasti dip the badges. I sanded the grill and the hood trim pieces for hours it...
So, I have owned my beloved 2008 Denali since 2010 when I purchased it with ~20k miles on it. It has had 3 audio systems in it and a few minor aesthetic mods over the years and is up to about 130k miles now. I shipped it to the Cayman Islands from Texas when I moved here in 2016. I got to a...
Long time lurker first time poster, I think have read most of the threads on the resonator delete on here and now want to do it, but will probably be taking the DIY route. I live in the Cayman Islands so getting stuff here is not easy, but I have a shop here that can do a bit of the work. I'm...
