'Loved My 6.2 Yukon Denali But Got a Different Replacement Because of the Recall

[AEHaas]

I could not live with all the issues happening to this engine and ones that even passed the pico testing. A week ago I decided to jump ship. A month ago my wife got a good deal on a used RR so I thought it only fair that I got one. So a slightly used 2025 RR Cullinan now resides in our garage:

What is that?

 

[tooleyondeck]

This is bait, nobody with RR money would remotely consider a Denali lol

What is that?

A $350,000+ used suv.

It might be all that and the best ever, But it is still ugly.

...is that thing from the 1980s or something?

I used to fly rather large radio controlled turbine powered model jets and the XL Yukon was just big enough for the carry to the flying field. In the past, a Navigator or Expedition did the job. I thought I would give GMC a try but it's ending up to be a No Joy. I have since down sized to smaller jets that fit in "normal" sized SUV's. My wife made me sign an affidavit that I would keep this SUV clean in order to allow me to buy it. It is actually quite large but you would not know it unless you were standing next to it.

I would not have picked this color scheme on paper but in person it is quite attractive. Yes, a little wild but you only go around once in life.

Nice garage!

I have a two and a half garage and I wish it was twice as big lol!

I insulated it, put in a mini split A/C unit and got the OX floor.

You really need to get a nice floor for your high end toys and the Ferarri!

When we built the house 30 years ago the garage floor was "Stained" with H&C xylene and has been flawless since. It matches our roof tile. We considered a fancy floor but this is a true work shop. Actually many of those epoxy floors are VERY slippery when wet so not good in many ways.
The garage is fully insulated as well. With a commercial dehumidifier we actually do not need A/C. It warms up if you pull in two hot cars but otherwise is comfortable to do projects even in summer heat.
I considered rebuilding my GMC Yukon Denali engine as was done by others here. 'Would have been a good project. I just happened, by chance, to walk up to this RR Cullinan and, well, the rest is history.

I have no affiliation with OX floor but it is more than just epoxy coating. It has a textured surface and multi color options make it truly custom. Plus they offer a lifetime warranty.
So far over 5 years and no issues and no noticeable wear even where the tires are.

My hobbies are water sports and fishing so that floor gets wet a lot between rods/reels that get rinsed and stored in the garage to dry, and kiteboard gear.
Definitely better than epoxy coating.
I also have a gun safe and work bench for cleaning and that area gets oils and solvents and it is easy to clean.

The only good thing/bad about OX is that they have an aggressive salesman program that is like car sales - offer the inflated price then come down aggressively if you sign that day.
The key is to wait and after they send you a couple emails you can get a good price.
They have a crew of 2 guys that can do a big garage in a day.
I am in Florida so the best money I spent is insulating and air conditioning the garage and putting in the OX floor

What a flex. Congrats on the new toy hauler! I'm going to ask my wife if she's been on the lookout for any deals tonight.
