NS's 2005 ccsb Denali build

Ordering a new headlamp switch. Dang dash lights have a mind of there own right now lol

Uh, hopefully not an electrical gremlin. Fingers crossed

 

[NeverSatisfied]

Everything I’ve researched points to the headlamp switch. So I’m 99.1% sure it’s that. The lights on it don’t even light up so I needed to replace it anyways lol

 

[NeverSatisfied]

Things are getting pretty crazy. I added a steering wheel cover since the wheel has some wear marks at the top. Dealer had it “re-dyed” which last a couple days. It’s genuine leather as well (fancy I know).

Swapped my lug nuts over to some used factory ones. Look a lot better and not rusted. Pardon the dirty wheels it has been raining for 3 days.

Hopefully is decent tomorrow so I can debadge the tailgate and redo the front emblem in black brushed vinyl. Can’t decide if I want to take the Denali off the side. Thoughts??

Ordered a 3.5mm stereo jack to add and aux as well

It's just a waste of time redying a steering wheel. It never lasts. A customer of mine bought a leather steering wheel cover from ebay, not a cheap looking pos, actually was pretty nice. Unfortunately I didn't get a pic of the skin, but here's the after:

It was for an M3. One end was stitched in red, other end was in blue. I stitched everything together with red thread. Came out great. Maybe you should look into this for yours.

Replaced the fog lights and redid the emblem from gloss black to brushed black

Front Emblem looks great! I liked the Denali emblems on my side doors. I left them when I debadged my truck. But unfortunately the chrome covering on the letters started peeling and they ended up looking like garbage so I pulled them off.

Do it!!!

I know haha
I have seen people take a small led strip and mount it behind the bowtie on the nbs chevys and created a backlight around the emblem since there’s some play around the whole thing. I always wanted to do it on my Tahoe but never did

You can order one on some new Chevys. Maybe you could retrofit the new emblem into the NBS grille

I think I need to replace the vapor canister vent solenoid. Gassing her up today and it clicked off at 16 gallons like it was full. This was from almost empty

 

[NeverSatisfied]

I lied. Looking like it might need a new sending unit

Also new third brake light
