Then he loses the u-bar, and we don't want that lol.

ha, true. the U-Bar heads are staying!

PSSSHHH!! I was NOT talking about removing those U-bars at all!! But what you said was kind of interesting regarding the new bowls possibly fitting them! My post was to bombsquad!

Oh my bad , too many posts to keep track of lol
But I still wanted to throw the idea into Pete's head about retrofitting his heads after seeing the , no offence but crappy output.
I know my projectors were worse with hids, much better output with halogen lights. Might switch to halogens and see @Sevenevez if you get bored later.

i saw Red in some other thread mention using "Scrubbing Bubbles" on the interior, so i got some, and tried it out. Which, my leather actually wasnt even dirty but i cleaned it anyways. But then i tried it on the carpet, and before you know it i was scrubbing all my Nike's. haha, stuff works great on almost anything. But i did notice my leather looked kinda dry the next day. So i rubbed it all down with some Leather Conditioning Cream



i have had this stuff since i died my seats in my Sierra.
Which brought back some memories.

If anyone is wondering if you can dye your leather seats. You sure can. I did it on my OBS and they turned out great. I got rid of the ugly fabric bench seat and got some grey leather seats out of a Honda Odyssey and dyed them all black. Made some brackets and mounted them in the truck. They were confortable as hell and had fold down armrests on both sides. I know this has nothing to do with my Denali, in case someone was wondering if you can dye your leather seats with good results. I had that truck for about 4 years and the leather never faded one bit.


Here's the kit i got from LeatherWorld.com

Black Leather (3 applications) After

If you recall, my compressor had a leak in the pressure switch unit. Luckily it was still under warranty. So i finally took mine back (exchange) and got a brand new one at no charge. Thanks Harbor Freight!

Just the Tip!

Good ol @Galante was kind to point out how ugly my factory exhaust pipe was.
So i bought the Denali one small christmas gift.




I got it from one of our Forum vendors --> @GotExhaust.com




i was doing some measuring last night. i think i am going to have to take about 4-5 inches off my oem pipe to get this to sit just how i want it. Maybe after Christmas i will bang it out.
