Jonah52's Denali Build Thread

[Jonah52]

All waxed and cleaned up!

Adding another vehicle to the stable soon for commuting (Thinking Cruze LTZ or Fusion Titanium). Once that happens the Denali bumpers will get painted, whole truck polished, the seat and console leather fixed, and then some 305/40/22 proxes or 420's, and maybe long tubes.

Honestly really pleased with how it is at the moment. Will need to get a car cover for it too.

Truck is looking good. A cover is worth it's weight in gold IMHO. I have the Coverking Blockit Evolution which is the what the company recommend for the scorching sun and wet summer climate of Florida. Just figured I'd share.

Custom fit with mirror pockets, lock grommets in the middle, elastic at the corners and can be fitted up front with a couple tarp clips and line to keep the edges tight (what they call and sell as gust guards) by the front and rear bumpers. The Evolution is super soft like a microfiber and allows it to breathe, reject water and dry quicker without scratching the paint.

Does a damn good job of keeping the paint nice during the summer months. Still gets a bit dusty, but saves the paint, etc...

Outside before we ditched the Odyssey for the Suburban.

And in the carport.

Awesome!

some may call me crazy for not putting the new daily in the garage but the yukon is the nice truck, weekend rig. And with 177k I am gonna try to drive it till fall at the latest and grab something for a commuter, then fix all the little things. That being said I don't need like a super tarp, just something to keep the dust off that i can pull off and be good to go. Do they have series that is less aimed at sun (sense it will be indoors) and more at just cleanliness i guess? I just wanna take my california duster over it and then go!

And thanks man, its been getting abused lately between some fun driving down south in the hills and just a butt load of miles, but I just absolutely love this thing.

Planning to repaint bumpers and doors, get the whole thing polished, get a corsa like tip, and some 305/40/22 and maybe some headers and then shell be my toy and sleeper!

Thanks at first I wasn't sure about them because it looked a little "off" vs the ck375. Once I removed the moldings and got my denali center caps I was like oh man!!!!

I 100% believe in simpler wheels being better because they are easier to clean and these are perfect! i need to get 1 or 2 replacements got a little peeling going.

I would love to get these wheels in 24's, but these are the smoothest set up I've ever experienced!

Got in an accident two days ago. I was going up a hill and it was down pouring, got to the top of hill and meant a line of traffic stopped. I locked the brakes up and couldn't stop in time and smashed into the back of the van in front of me and pushed it into the car in front of it. Not good.

Damn! I hope you and everyone involved is OK. How'd the Denali make out?

 

[PG01]

Sorry dude, hopefully youre ok. Can fix truck bud...sucks tho

I'm good, back was a little sore but good now. Everyone else made it out ok too.

Denali is good too. There's stress cracking in the paint where I'm assuming the bumper got pushed in and popped back out, luckily that's the only damage.

My first thought was well "this is gonna be expensive...."

Yeah honestly shit happens sometimes. I feel really dumb, but it's whatever. Everyone is ok and bumper will be fixed

 

[Fosscore]

People first, trucks second.
In that order. Good to hear all okay.

Well thats good.... betcha that foam underbumper cover is cracked though....if it was that hard of a hit like your sayin i wonder if the 'metal' bumper is bent too? Curious to see what you find. Glad you guys are ok.

 

[kwOH]

Glad your ok. Wrecks are tough. Did your airbags deploy?

Be careful buddy.

Glad you are okay.

I sorts did the same thing last summer with mine. Never fun. It really sucks. Although when I did mine, the other car took 5 grand worth of read end damage apparently, while my Denali's bumper just twisted a bit. No really damaged to my truck. But my insurance though.... Glad you're okay!
