Ok, It has taken me quite awhile to summon the courage to actually create a build thread. I have been on here for awhile try to be active, but have never really put much emphasis on my projects. Well, I hope that shis can serve as more of a time line for me to keep track of stuff and hopefully keep me motivated and maybe even help inspire others at the same time.
This is going to be exceptionally slow in progress as my wife and I have a new(ish) baby girl that is 6mo old and trying to save for a new house. So unfortunately this being my daily driver, will usually take the backseat to other priorities. A little history about myself and prior projects; I grew up around the muscle car scene, and still have my first car which is a 71 Chevelle. It was my grandmother's car and I inherited it when I was 3 years old. It was my daily in high school and is still an occasional driver to this day. I also have my grandmother's brother's (my great uncle) 72 Chevy C20 pick up truck, which is in dire need of some love and attention, but will have to wait a little longer. I picked up my Denali in October of 2011 and have absolutely loved the truck. It has had its fair share of issues, many of which I have chimmed in on here in various threads.
MODS (To be done):
Lowered suspension while retaining autoride (wanting 3/5 kit)
Wilwood big brake kit
Wheels around 22" or 24" preferrably CK375's or OEM style
HID Retrofit Completed and installed 5/13/16
LED Conversion on all lighting Completed
Mild stereo work (On going progress)
Trailer brake controller
Escalade tails with 3rd brake light
Full Exhaust with headers and Corsa cat back
Supercharger
S/C Cam
Black Bear tune
Cold Air Intake
Oil Catch Can
That would pretty much be the perfect setup for me.
MODS completed upon purchase:
Window tint (15% front 5% rear)
Debadged all except front GMC logo on grill
Upgraded pads and drilled rotors
All steelbraided brake lines
Again, this is going to be slow progress, but I hope everyone enjoys the little things like I do with minor changes.
Cheers,
Joe
