Worst part about it is he was warned by me and a few others before he did it. He can thank whatever he prays to that it was PlastiDip job, or the value of his Denali would be less than the below Escalade after doing that.

I won't lie, the paint is done right. And I like the pearl in it. If I had a wife and the $, I would buy her that (without the wheels) if she was good.

OR......or you can get her a Lime-a-Lade :derp:

I can be wrong. :shrug:

The GM power steps are made by a Canadian company who's name I forget ... I contacted them a while back to see if I could just buy the stainless steel trim on them.

I think it was Magna International subcontracted from US company Johnson Controls Inc..

I was almost sure that AMP made the GM steps. I guess they may just make the ones listed on this page.

Good job on getting the boards rapped up Josh. Most have took a good amount of wiring.

Haha yup

Any write up coming on doing this mod?

I'll try to do one when I have time but it's going to be pretty intensive

NICE!!!!!!
Any update on your retrofit?
How about news on the production of the prototype module?
I've have my boards bolted on for months trying to get them operational. No luck with the Factory Module, even with the schematics at hand.
Thanks for the renewed sense of hope!
I'm ready when you are!!!

In all seriousness this is a super nice truck and a lot of money and time went into making it how it is however it is hideous.
