OK what camera is that ?

 

[Sevenevez]

Those lips look clean on a Tahoe but even cleaner on a Denali.
I got lucky and scored a new one of a local guy here otherwise it would've been $39 for the part and $50 for shipping :-/

ahh nice. yeah shipping was only $10.75
and i agree, it really complete's the look. and it looks hella low street sweeper now haha.
do you still have the Nissan wheels on?

OK what camera is that ?

Canon T3i EOS. pretty much a base model DSLR. very affordable. Standard lens. Nice tripod. thats it

He threw them away..... as far away from his house as he could.....

I don't think so. They're actually inside his house, in his bedroom , under his bed so he knows that they're safe and warm every night.

That lip looks really good. Was thinking about it for my truck. Although I would worry about crunching it up in the winter going over snow. Lol. Anyways that part, is it's specifically for our Denali, or just a generic lip that's a really close fit?

 

[PG01]

Big, your talking about under the front bumper? Tahoes and yuks after 03 i think came with them stock.. but no matter cause it will fit your truck no prob people attach them in diff ways but on the two outside corners are held with screws and factory trucks they snapped in but i used plastic tywraps, ziptys whatever you want to call them.... like this...

unless you are lowered i think you will be fine even in snow country. these things are very flexy and durable. mine was for 2003 yukon. but any one of them should work

i agree. seems everybody has their own creative way of mounting them

Oh ok cool. Gonna probably order one soon and then color match it to My truck.

 

[Sevenevez]

since it's such flexy plastic, color matching might be hard. if it scrapes or flex's, unfortunately the paint will stress and crack. IMO

 

[05Single]

I used 2 bolts and the rest zip ties on my Tahoe. Which is what they originally came on, but they only came stock on the 05 year LT package.

 

[MadDogDelpho]

My mom's fire truck came with one. Cloth seats and no third row so I assume LS, but it also has Bose and eFans, so I have no clue.

 

[Fosscore]

My 06 LS came with it.

latest shenanigans

pulled out the old (barely holding on) oil dipstick tube. you can see the support bar was completely cracked off

replaced with a new Dorman one from good ol RockAuto. Took about a half hour. i didnt even need to pull any spark plug wires, i just used a high powered LED flashlight and at the right angle i could see the hole it went into. went pretty smooth.

my floor mats were hella dirty from previous owner. vacuumed the heck out of them,

then i used my home Bissell carpet cleaner on them

way better! you shoulda seen how black the water was that i dumped out of the cleaner. nasty

had an amp and a box sitting around, decided to add it to the Denali. ran all the wires RCA, remote, 4 gauge ground and power (fused).since it was already crossed over from the factory setup, this was an easy addition once i got it all wired. hard to show you with a picture, but after dialing in all my levels over the last day or so. it sounds great!

subs (removed 3rd row seats again... for now)

amp

ended the night with a long exposure flashlight shot

Looking good! It's crazy what you find when you decide to shampoo out carpets!

[Tonyrodz]

I put a set of disgusting mats in the washing machine once and they came out amazingly clean. Almost looked new.
