These are the aluminum ucas right? Lol. Hard to get a good straight pic of the angles but the are decent for a 2.5 level

Washed it while snowing because I live in the arctic. Got all that nasty salt spray off, when I go on night shift I am planning on leaving it inside and doing clay bar/scratch x/polish/wax and nano coat for the winter. Shouldn’t have to wash it until spring thaw lol

this is the most impressed I’ve been with a vehicle purchase after going through 5 decent ones over the last few years I finally said **** it and got a current model vehicle lol. 2015 and high km but highway driven and the interior looks new and after going through the paint it should look cleaner.

Will go through all the steering n suspension when parts get here. Trying to find a nice UCA to help with the angles but not sure what I will run yet.

I'm always fascinated by the scenery in your pics :)

As cold as it gets do you have to use a lot of "rinseless, no wash" type solutions to clean you vehicles up there?

Last 3 years i haven’t washed them from October to may since I always planned on selling them in the summer I wasn’t too friendly with my paint lol. I plan on keeping this at least 3 years I will wash it in the garage to keep it clean after I try and correct it.

I keep forgetting to take pictures of inside

Roads are mostly gravel here and sanded during the winter so I put on some rally armor to try and keep my paint decent with the12.50 tires. Doesn’t look as bad as oem imo, did the back the other day and hopefully have time to do fronts tomorrow.

Driver side brake light has been working intermittently and passenger side just stopped today so I decided to try these. I think they look alright on the denali and way cheaper than new oem lights. I’d love to do oem Escalade lights one day if I sell a child or something lol

Today’s project

Managed to get the grille off without the bumper somehow. Might have broken some tabs [emoji23]

Forgot the mounts for the second bar so I’ll have to finish later. Cut up some 1/4 alum brackets and bolted them to rad support, can’t wait to see it with the grill on

Had a productive night. The reverse leds aren’t great on the vlad lights so I cut up a mount and hid some cubes on the frame. You can’t see them unless you’re laying down. Swapped tags for led too

Wired the front bars while painting the emblems tonight. Pretty happy with my lighting now

Do they throw the light really far? Glad you remembered to mask them off before painting the grill emblem lol.
