Really enjoying this new Denali XL

The boat is wrapped and in the yard. It was windy and the boat was getting pushed around even on the local roads at 50 mph . The plastic sheeting acts like a sail. The boat was pushed up against the bow stop.

Pull the spare tire down before it gets any colder and lube up all the pesky bits with waterproof marine grease. Make sure you have a set of gloves, small plastic tarp and blanket stuffed in next to the jack if you end up in the sticks with a flat. I carry a plastic bag the size of a pack of cigs made just for dropping a dirty tire in.

If I get stuck with that biotch job of changing a flat with the factory jack, it’s all going in that bag so the back stays clean and I’m ready to deal with the flat.

Did a recalc on my towing weight for the Donzi and realized I was WAAAAAAY over the tow limit...

You should have seen some of the flamers on the boating website.

Boat is probably 11,500 lbs on the trailer to maybe 12,000.

Amazingly the Denali handled it.

Losing about 5 psi overnite on the REAR tires only.

I think its corrosion around the rims. I think the rears are original rims and the fronts were replaced. The chrome looks better on the fronts.

Well, puncture in sidewall/shoulder on one of them. Getting new shoes all around. Michelin Defender LTX - great tire.

There's not a better highway tire IMO!

The Denali drives like a new SUV... smooth quiet. Will probably be the last set of tires I have to buy for this vehicle.

I wish I had put new tires on it when I bought it. Realizing how smooth and much better it drives now, I should have bit the bullet. Especially when I look at how much weight I towed. Live and learn.
