    Will in Nashville's 2005 Yukon Denali

    After drying for a day or so and install of the Esky rack, I'm pleased with how it came out. It definitely needs to be cut and buffed and I have a couple sags that draw my eye to them every time I'm near the truck. The wife and kiddos were impressed, or at least they were attempting to make me...

    Once I got to the clear, things started looking up. I can't remember if I did two or three coats

    After some waiting for it to flash it flattened out pretty decent, so I continued on with base:

    I started on the basecoat and was almost ready to burn the mofo to the ground after the first coat. It later flattened out and came out somewhat decent after a couple coats of base Immediate aftermath of the first coat, when brix were shat:

    I started getting quotes to respray the hood and roof and was either blown away by the price and/or lack of quality for what I was being quoted. I knew that if I paid what some of these places were asking and I got something less than perfect, it would eat away at me. After spray bombing the...

    About this time COVID hit, so the Yukon stopped being a taxi service. I have worked at home for a pretty long time now, so it pretty much just sat in the garage. I did start going to junkyards as a way to get out of the house and collecting parts for future fun. I found a 3rd brake light, roof...

    I also replaced the air shocks and compressor. As you can see, they were pretty trashed

    About this time I was doing little stuff like tinting my windows, switching out to LEDs and changing the headlight and taillight housings since I really don't like how the amber looks. For whatever reason, I didn't take many pics of this. LEDs in the old housings and fog light LEDs

    I went through a whole bunch of iterations with that tablet mount. In the end I used magnets to keep it in place and metal plated sandwiched between the tablet and its case. It still works that way, although I ended up getting a head unit with android auto so I don't use it much anymore.

    I saw a youtube vid where someone recommended polishing the paint, even where the clear was flaked off. I tried it, but I wasn't especially stoked with the outcome. The basecoat underneath was now shiny, but the hood still looked like garbage

    A few years later, the truck was still holding up great aside from a transmission rebuild, but it was starting to look pretty trashed inside and the clear was starting to look pretty gross

    My older daughter played travel basketball for a few years, then switched to volleyball for a few years after that. I didn't do a lot to the truck during that time since it was needed for long trips to out of town tournaments. During this time I got a subwoofer for Father's Day, so I put in a...

    Will in Nashville's 2005 Yukon Denali

    I've actually been a member here for over a decade now, but I never really considered my 2005 Yukon Denali a "project" until recently. Truthfully, I'm not sure I would've if I hadn't been coming here for this long. Anyway.... I bought my Denali back in 2011 for the wife to cart around the...

    2006 GMC Yukon Denali XL-SOLD!!! Now work begins

    It's a weird scenario, but I'd totally do it if I were in their shoes and knew how good your work was. It's insanely difficult to find a decent mechanic, and I imagine it's even harder if you look like someone who could be fleeced.

    Drop kit missing autoride links

    After some panicked searching, I ran across this post in the other generation section. Looks like this worked for them, so I'm gonna give it a shot https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/help-with-making-my-own-autoride-links-please.23806/

    Drop kit missing autoride links

    OK actually, the instructions say the new links should be roughly 3" from center to center, so that question is answered

    Drop kit missing autoride links

    Hey everyone - I have a Belltech 34324 rear drop kit that I'm looking to install this weekend on my 2005 Yukon Denali with autoride, but I just noticed that I don't have the autoride threaded links in the kit anymore. Dunno if the kit didn't come with them or I just lost them. Anyone got an...

    2005 Z71 Tahoe hot air

    Similar thing happened to me last week in my 2005 Denali. I disconnected the battery for a valve cover replacement. After I was finished I fired up and had hot air on the passenger side but cold air from the driver side. I did the recalibration steps basically the same as the video below and...
