RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

That sounds awesome. I'd love to see a prictural tour of your Denali inside and out. I'm particularly intrigued with how the shifter swap looks and how much trouble it was to do it.

I'm in the process of a build and mod of an 06 Escalade and am always looking for ideas. So far, have had trans rebuilt, new suspension and steering, did a 2/4 belltech drop kit, and went from stock 17" to 20" wheels off 2018 Escalade.The engine swap to a LS364/450 is happening now, then exhausts and custom tune program. Just ordered new seat covers.

Go to page 229, post #s 2284 and 2285 show the shifter and steering wheel swap.

How's the dyed steering wheel and airbag holding up? Any bubbling or peeling?

It’s holding up well. No peeling. The leatherworld technologies dye is good quality product.

New shoes mounted up today. A little smaller than the LTX A/T2s but still a good stance and they look great all coated up. From the few miles back and forth around town today doing a couple errands after I got the tires mounted, the defender LTX tires are riding pretty smooth.

Hopefully tomorrow out on the road, the lighter tires will bring better fuel economy and the return of a little power loss. Will be keeping track of it throughout tomorrows travels.

Also decided to give the Nali an oil change before the trip. I was only about halfway through the interval but just decided to hammer it out this afternoon since I had the time. Now I don’t need to stress about it when I get back from the trip as I have a lot going on when I get back. Coolant reservoir is right where it should be and Al other fluids looked good. Will be documenting the miles traveled this time around with the trip computer.

Good morning from northern Utah! Will be posting some content from the roughly 600 mile drive yesterday! Only on day two of the trip and already having a blast!

Left home yesterday at 8am! Beautiful I day with sunny blue skies! Starting mileage on the truck and then reset trip A to keep tracking of how many miles I drove in this trip.

Traffic was super light all day. Made it from big bear to Vegas via I-15 in like three hours with only one restroom and fuel stop. Have some videos to upload as well of the drive. Truck ran great. I’ll be honest I knew the Michelin defenders had good ride quality reviews, BUT HOLY CRAP!! They ride SO DAMN SMOOTH!! I’m very impressed with how well they absorb all the bumps and imperfections in the roads!
