Subbed! I’ll have to go back and catch up when I get time. Glad to see another NBS Denali build thread, you’re in good company.

I did the exact same thing you did with the wheel. Originally jsut painted grips on a regular Escalade wheel. But I scored the exact same wheel you did out of a junkyard envoy Denali. And put an envoy Denali center air bag in mine. I love having the Denali in the steering wheel! The same wheel also came in the 2004-2006 platinum trimmed Escalades. That’s why they usually run big bucks online for sale. Lol. Looks great in your truck with the back dash! I’m actually in the process of resurfacing mine. But going with tan to match the rest of my interior.
Truck looks good with the updated LED lighting and that entertainment system you set up looks awesome!

I'm in the process of a debadge/moulding removal myself. I got the rubber wheel from Amazon (not the 3M one) and it seems to work fine but is s super slow process and I think I'm going through the wheel to fast. I'm not done with one door and have used a 3rd of the rubber wheel. Do you remember what brand you used, and did you need more than one? Question 2, where did you get the part for the hyper flash? And how does it install. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated

I used a 3M rubber wheel and i don’t think i used 20% of it. I actually debadged my Camaro and Silverado with it too and it’s still in my work bench now, so I would definitely recommend getting the 3M one. Set your drill to low speed and use a back and forth motion perpendicular to the direction it’s spinning.
This is the module I used for hyperflash: Hazard Warning LED Flasher Relay... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082V2FNGS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
It installs under the driver side of the dash, there are youtube videos on it it’s easy.

Brother, your build thread is where I got the idea to go with the Envoy wheel! lol
Thank you! I’m going to be installing it today as soon as I get done with my tint appointment on the Camaro.

Glad I could be of inspiration! And can’t wait to see the wheel installed! Swapping the wheels is a pretty easy job. Had mine off a few times now lol.

The steering wheel swap was successful and almost too easy (1 bolt). The new wheel looks so much better and ties in perfectly with the rest of the dash. It almost feels like driving a different truck, and it really would if I had done everything at once instead of trickling it in, but you all know how projects go, they tend to drag but that keeps it fun and interesting. I was a bit concerned that the wood on the wheel would clash with the dark Denali wood, but I think it came out classy.
I will still need to swap out the buttons since the only one that lights up is the “seek” switch but thankfully I already have a set I ordered JIC. Depending on how cooperative they are coming out I may end up taking the wheel back off to swap them. The new ones are from fleabay and supposedly have white LED backlighting so we will see how that goes.
