As many of you know, I sold the 05 Denali a while back (and miss it dearly) for my 2011 335xi

Not really much to update, got some paint and painted the grille, removed the billet inserts and removed the bug guard. Some other parts showed up today including 55watt HIDs I threw in. More to come this week hopefully

Wish it was double din but got it for a steal on Amazon on cyber Monday. New headlights, fogs, corners, and tint for the tails are here and will hopefully go in after finals in the next couple weeks

Got the tow mirrors in today. Nice to have power mirrors again. Previous owner had swapped them out for work tuck mirrors smh. Definitely need to level them though

Definitely gives me the itch to try and find some cheap bigger wheels/tires. I'll keep my eyes peeled on Craigslist lol. Beater. Work truck. Gotta keep reminding myself not to put a lot of money into it

It doesn't have to be an ugly beater work truck. It can still have a nice look to it.

That's the plan man. Just trying to be reasonable with my spending on it at the same time. Also the fact that I'm looking to offload it for another Denali in the future, if I can flip it for a profit, sooner

Denali cluster is a nice touch. I'll eventually get that or an escalade one in mine.
