Here we will help you spend your money! Lol. At least that's been my experience! My denali's back end is mostly esky. Haha third brake light swap and vent cap panels are esky swaps. I decided to do both to tie in with the esky racks. And I love the look.

I just have one from the drivers seat from a rolling start that's toward the end of my build thread. I want to get my cam and headers installed before I video again.

Ya kinda have to show some restraint . I have to realize that its just something to drive.

i concur. i do all my builds on a budget. plus i am known to buy higher mileage older vehicles because i dont do car payments. pay cash and not worry about messing anything up.
but, the car addiction has been strong since i got my first Hot Wheel or Matchbox car in the early 80's

my buddy was over last night. i was explaining the noise i was hearing right before the AC went out. he said, hmm.. then laid under the engine with a flashlight and pulls this out. haha. why didn't i think of that? the A/C drive belt snapped. it's pretty well dry rotted. remember this denali was sitting in AZ in storage for like 3+ years. So i will do both belts.
but, AMEN that it's only a belt and not something a$tronomical
