The 2019 GMC Yukon Denali rebuild project comes to an end

[@JackAceINC]

"Land of corruption and rust." Best line ever. I'm going to start spreading that around here in Texas, while riding a horse of course, of course...

[@vehcor]

While riding a horse in your nice weather and getting into your rust free truck. Oh yeah and the whole no income tax thing. You have to have to rub in ALL the awesomeness of your state! 😂 It is currently snowing here! 👎🏻

[@Erichhh]

​@@vehcor @JackAceINC My next used truck will be from TX for sure. I'm waiting for the end of salt season to buy one, drive it here, and apply about 10 cans of Fluid Film to the underbody and frame before it ever sees Winter. I decided this after going through the fun of cutting the rotten front swaybar bracket off my 2007 Yukon and welding on a new one.

[@garfield89dude32]

I found the bumper installation tool to be useful for much more than installing bumpers. You can use it to install wheel covers, for example. It is also great for popping out dents from behind body panels when they manifest themselves (if you can get it worked back in there lol!) Another excellent build Scott!

[@phillipleeds296]

@@vehcor It was a kit sold in the late 1970s-early 1980s (if I remember correctly) to make a Datsun 240Z into a Ferrari GTO clone. There were a few done here in Australia at the time and they looked impressive. I think Ferrari took the company to court to stop them making them and using the Ferrari name. A mechanic at my old work started to build one, but I don’t know if he ever finished it. A good original 240Z would now be worth much more than the converted one.

[@Cartier_specialist]

That was a pretty quick turn around time on the Denali. That automatic seat folding trick is pretty slick. I didn't know they had got so fancy but for what they expect people to pay for new vehicles these days they should balance your checkbook and burp your baby too.
