Been awhile since I've updated this thread. I've been doing little things here and there. But my latest find has me excited! Just picked up a second row bench from another xl Denali. Matching 2 tone pewter/gray leather plus heated seats. I've been looking to swap my captains for a bench since I got the truck 2 years ago, so to find an exact match is great! It was only $65 at a pick N pull 2 hours away. It's in pretty rough shape right now, but I'm confident it'll clean up nicely. Plenty of other updates - heavy duty springs and 1.5" spacers in the back along with bilstein 5100 shocks. Front brakes upgraded to nnbs setup. GoRhino push bar on the front. Just swapped the Spyder tails I had on the floor a set of Spec-D. I like the newer but stockish look. Sadly I cracked 2 of my beautiful stock wheels, so I've got some newer Sierra wheels on it now. Lots of unfortunate updates have been needed lately, too. Transmission rebuild, new rear brakes, new radiator, and a few other things. I'll get some updated pics on here soon. 6 kids keep me pretty busy!

I noticed in your avatar pic the push bar and new wheels! They look killer! Looking forward to pics of the whole truck!

You tell us. You're the pro. Looks to me like someone threw a freshly microwaved CD on there.

Lol, hard to tell what it is. Kind of looks like a burn.

Glad you came back , bring on the pics ...good and bad

Thanks for the warm welcome back. I got some time up clean the seats up a bit today. There's a couple small tears I'm gonna repair, and they could still use a bit more cleaning, but overall I'm pleased with how well they cleaned up. Sad thing is, they looked pretty pristine when the salvage yard first got the truck in (last pic). Most, if not all of the damage was done from random car parts being set on them. The driver side rear door was already gone, so I'm lucky the seats weren't moldy. Didn't even smell musty or anything, so I'm guessing whoever got that door must've done it recently. Anyway, I'll try to get more overall pics and updates soon. It's good to be back

A dirty imprint from some random heavy part. The dirt/grease is gone, but the impression is still there. I'm gonna have child car seats making impressions of their own, so I'm okay with it. Lol.

Good score and clean up. With the car seats and Cheerios, that’s a winner find!!

Should put some heavy towels between the car seats and seat itself.

I also did that when my kids were little--like 100 yrs ago!

It needs a really good detailing, but here it is as it sits today.

Detailed or not, I’d add it to my stable. Long body Denali FTW!!
