Welcome to the forum from Oregon. Yes, pics please.


We recommend that you put all your rig(s) info in your signature so we all don’t have to guess at year, make, model, engine size, trans, rear axle locker…….etc. While you may have posted pertinent info in your first post, you may forget to do it again and the info is needed by us anyway. Makes it way easier on all members that attempt to help, to have that info right up front. It is also recommended that you take a pic of your RPO codes, on the inside cover of the glove box, and post that image in your signature. All this info will greatly help those that will try to help with a problem.


If there is any other info, like upgrades, mods or recent mechanical/maintenance work done, that would be helpful in any post as well. Too many times a question is asked by the poster and after about 10 responses we find out that the poster has done recent work to attempt to fix the problem or work that was done that SEEMS not related to the problem.

are going to go with custom metal bumpers? winch? push bar? being this flavor of obs (escalade) that might be the only route is custom built. At least you don't have a bunch of nanny electronics to worry about.

It being kind of rare I will probably either have to leave the front bumper stock or get one custom fabbed

I've always liked this style of Escalade. Very nice. If your seats are torn, they do sell oem look covers on Ebay.

I have wondered how the awd in our denali would do for this, I would thing fairly well as long as it wasn't too aggressive.
