Yep the only pic that shows up for me is the last one and I'm on IE, not tapatalk.
I wonder if it has something to do with photobucket. They stopped hosting pics unless you pay like 400 dollars for a yearly subscription. I'll have to do some research how to fix it.

Yeah if you're using that you're screwed unless you want to pay their ransom. This forum somehow recovered everybody's pictures from there and hosted them on the forums server so they reappeared here but that was a one-time deal. I suggest you just upload them here and don't use Photobucket.

They seem to be working on my work computer using Chrome.
I just scanned through your build damn man that is a sharp denali. How is the autowoods wheel holding up, I wanted to put one in my denali swapped duramax never pulled the trigger and put the denali interior back in the SUV and this wheel is toast.

Thanks. The wheel still looks like new, I just clean it every once in awhile.

started as a 2003 yukon denali. It is now a 2500hd swapped denali as the denali clip went on my dmax. i refreshed the top end gaskets, rebuilt trans with a trans go full valve bod upgrade, e fans, coil overs with Qa1 all around, all poly urethane bushing/body mounts. custom heim joint trailing arms similar to spohn with matching panhard bar. jk (?)

Expert body & paint. So this is a Denali with HD front end, right?

Do you have photos and/or a detailed journal for the suspension upgrades? You don't see many folks taking a Denali base this route, although this is what I would have done. Being AWD it can go either way, but most of the time a D gets lowered, not lifted. I saw an escalade with susp lift & thought "that's something you don't see every day." This reminds me of that. Obviously it's a no brainer with the coilovers and higher than stock since you prob scrapped the auto-ride, you no longer have that system to contend with but would have been a cool feature. Appreciate if you could get some detailed shots of the front suspension on here with your new paint job. Great work

Looking good, need some better pics though. I bet it's nice to drive it again.

Expert Body and paint lol.. This was my first attempt at body work my father and grandfather have been doing it forever but, not me. My dad helped me alot along the way but I can still see some flaws in my work. My dad had not painted a full truck in probably 3 years or so, i did paint the rockers. His paint did lay out smooth thought.

I did post some photos of the suspension i can probably dig up some other photos and info. The suspension is basically stock height still. I did do z71 springs and 3 inch body lift on polyurethane mounts, the arms all match stock length just with heim joint adjustments.
If there is any thing specific just ask i dont mind sharing

Thanks for all the comments guys.. It is nice to have it painted and looking like a truck. Its parked for awhile again before i can get it in my tiny garage to finish up wiring and put interior together. plus with winter setting in here in the northeast i am going to try and keep it out of the salt. I am looking at xenon fender flares if any knows some one that has them i would love some pics, not much online.
