I've been snooping around the forum for quite sometime now picking up tidbits on 07+ Tahoes/ Denalis/ Escalades. Up until this past summer (Arizona summers suck btw...) I never thought of owning an SUV. Ya see, I was too wrapped up in the German car scene and able, off-road trucks. Unfortunately, due to work (becoming an adult and having less "play time"), I found it more and more difficult to get out to the track or rural canyons.

So... I decided to choose a more street friendly vehicle. I ended up picking up used new model Denali, a vehicle that was owned by a former Arizona Cardinals football player, oddly enough, and was well cared for. As you will see by the photographs, I have clearly taken the lazy man's route this time, and have purchased a vehicle with a handful of modifications (sound, sat tv, debadge, demolded, painted headlight housings, tinted brakelights, 26" Slides, McGaughys 2/3 lowering kit, etc). But, as you all know, one is never done modding...

I'm looking forward to getting involved with this web based community. I have been and still am an active member (under the same name) at TacomaWorld, M3Forum and Bimmerforums. It's an addiction, what more can I say?

Anyway, on to what you all what to see the most, the photographs;

If you want to check more photos of the truck, sold earlier this year, you can on my build thread at TacomaWorld. I don't think you have to be a member to view the photos, but I could be wrong; http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-builds/51337-arizonad54s-spblack-build.html

I also have a jackload of photos from/ for the M3. I owned her ("Emmy") for 5 years. Lots of good memories and photos, happy to share.

You have some very nice vehicles, and that Denali is pretty sick!! There is plenty of information on this site. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!

Do folks prefer Esky reps or OEM? Also, best source?
