PWMac's 2008 Yukon XL Denali build

[PWMac]

Continued working on tow mirror wiring and got the distribution box, toggle switches and clearance lights connected. Wasn't sure where to run the wire through the firewall but following the suggestion of others I pushed a screwdriver through the main wiring grommet to upper left of the fuse box on the driver side and was able to feed them through easily. Plan is to wire up the bumper lights tomorrow and get ready to install the Bilstein 5100 shocks, wheels and tires that are on their way.


This is close to my final wiring but I ended up not connecting to reverse and the ground for the bumper lights I ran with the 12v wire along the frame to the relay in the engine because the lights came with the wires prewrapped.

Finished wiring the 20W House Tuning LEDs that are mounted on the rear bumper today and was waiting for it to get dark to test them out. These things are BRIGHT! My neighbors would probably hate them every time I back up so I'm not going to wire them into reverse and only run them off the switch.

Removed the roof rack and going to paint the chrome. Ordered a Garvin rack that is 48"x78" that I found a good deal on.

CRAP!!! The garvin rack I thought I was getting a good deal on was too good to be true. This has happened a lot lately.

Mounted these House Tuning 20W CREE LED on my back bumper. The kit seems very well made but still need to wire them up to test the brightness.
