Today was a good day for car mod purchases! Tired of not having a rear cam and an outdated nav system so upgraded to the Pioneer AVIC-8000NEX w/ CarPlay flagship navigation screen and all the little goodies that go with it:

Pioneer ND-BC6 Universal Rear View Camera
Meta Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Module
Apple Lightning AV HDMI Adapter
SiriusXM SXV300v1 Connect Vehicle Tuner Kit for Satellite Radio
Metra 95-3305 Double DIN Installation Dash Kit
PAC OS-2C BOSE OnStar Radio Replacement Interface for General Motors with Bose

I've owned MANY pioneer screens in the past, but this one has Apple CarPlay built in so I'm excited to see what Apple will bring to this screen. Many reviews on other forums said it's really awesome so excited to try it out. Will post pics of all the goodies when they start flowing in.

It was a toss up between new rims or this... chose this. Really want to try out Apple CarPlay and tired of not having bluetooth audio too. OEM Nav sucks :(

Well after much thought, I decided to get both vehicles new sets of tires and switch the rims around. Reason being 20's look better on Lifted vehicles and 22's look better on denalis :)

I liked my Nitto NT420S tires so much on my escalade I got another set and will put the CK375's with the nitto 305/40/22 tires on my stock suspension Denali. I will then take the factory denali 20's and put them on some brand new Cooper Zeon LTZ 275/60/20 tires on my lifted Yukon. I did this because I felt like the 22's/33's looked good but there just wasn't enough side wall. Plus I was tired of having Mud Terrain's because of the rougher ride and loud humming noise at high speeds on the highway. The LTZ's are more of an AT tire and the extra sidewall will look much better on the lifted vehicle. Another reason is my 4/3 lift specified a max tire width of 11.50" can fit without rubbing. My 33x12.50R22 Toyo Open Country MT's have a tire width of 12.5" which is 1.5" over the specified max limit. This was causing my tires to rub on the new Upper Control Arm's I got when reversing @ full lock. Because of these reasons I decided I will sell the Toyo Open Country MT 33's. Can't wait for everything to come in!!!!

LOL Fog Lights are really really really low on my priority list. I will get the 2015 Denali wheels with chrome inserts on my 09 Denali and AMP Reseearch steps for my 11 Yukon before I get fog lights FYI. :)
