[Update 04/07] 2006 Yukon Denali Winter Beater [SOLD]

[Galandorian]

I also had to rip out that metal support, which was sharp as hell! Just to fit my dd in.

yeah I hate trying to fit the sawzall in there

I ended up slipping and cutting a bunch of my HVAC wires

Headunit looks great!

thanks

I'm interested to see if I'll actually use these steering wheel controls now that I paid the $50 and effort to retain them lol

looks good man , really like the pioneer head units

Yep! I've always used and probably always will continue to use pioneer

by the time I get back home from work at 5:30, I only have like an hour of light left

managed to get the brush guard put on today

starting to get ready for winter ramming

lemme tell ya, that Denali bumper is a pain in the ass to work around

we ended up just pulling the entire bumper off to do the work

I think I'm gonna order some fog lamp LEDs, a cool American flag front plate, and HOPEFULLY get my new rims on this week lol

I keep saying that, but right now the back of the vehicle is just storage for all my audio junk, and I don't wanna drop the vehicle off at the shop with a bunch of goodies free for the pickins

I used the cheaper axess modual, after the programming it worked great kinda when I skip tracks sometimes my volume go to full tilt but I've learned to deal with it. out of curiosity what alt are you you gonna run for your system?

I love having steering wheel controls lol. Worth the $50 in my opinion!

I'll be running a CES (Custom Electric) 390a hairpin alt, with 4 runs of 2/0 positive and negative, and a 120aH Veachium lithium.

gonna delete the front battery too

I haven't even really driven the truck yet, but I'm already considering getting one of the Axcess things for my Grand Prix now lol

awwwhhh RIP

went to have my rims installed today and the ones I bought were all jacked up and the guy wouldn't risk putting bent rims on $1200 tires

I don't blame him, and gave him a $20 just for sharing the knowledge instead of doing it, but maaan I never even thought about rims being messed up.

time to shop some more

took the ole girl for her first break in trip

about 1,000 miles round trip from Grand Rapids, Michigan to Crossville Tennessee, to pick up more audio crap I really didn't need.

learned a couple things

1) about 4 hours into the drive a check engine light came on
2) the sunroof bug/wind guard sounds scary as hell above 100 MPH
3) I average about 14 MPG highway which is the best of the 3 fullsize GM vehicles I've owned
4) my oil pressure gauge doesn't read correctly

and pics

How'd you get it up to 100? I think top speed, if you use a gps, is around 97 mph, even tho the speedo says 100.

mine had no problem making it to around 105 MPH before the noise from the wind guard was freaking me out enough to stop

we've also had my mom's Denali up past that as well

speedo readings only, I don't know how accurate they are, especially with me running oversized tires

Before my mods, my 4.8 Tahoe topped out at 97, that was with the gps on. I've had it to 127--with the gps. Was still pulling hard when I let up. Lol, just sayin....
