My 2014 Denali Modifications

[Rewillia]

Nice truck! I like the white/carbon fiber look! I'd suggest taking that AMG license plate frame off, it belongs to a Mercedes, not a GMC truck lol.

Oh that, yeah well and while not meaning to brag the truck is not my prime mover, those are my 2008 Mercedes SL 550 with AMG pkg. together with my vintage 1988 560SL, and the wife's CLS 550 hence the AMG license plate frame. We also got the white Land Rover LR 3 that can be seen in the background of some of my truck photos. We're co-located in both Texas and Alaska, the Denali and the LR get transported this week up to Anchorage for our use there.

Nice truck! How do you like the Retrax?

I truly like the Retrax Pro. Looked at a types and brands and kept coming back to it. I like that it covers the post holes and contours with the bed top side protective molding. Easy to install and use. I also wanted to be able to use the bed without having to lift and take off a fiberglass tonneau plus my wife can equally use it easily.

 

Shopped around and ended up buying direct from Retrax who made me a great deal ( I suspect close to wholesale delivered), took all of 2 hrs to install.

That is a beautiful truck!!! You mentioned removing the sierra badging from the tailgate. I assume that there are no body holes for pins. Do you know if that is true for the rest of the body badging? I am considering removing all badging with exception of the grill.

Can't say one way or the other but Im sure there are others here who can tell you.

I'm a car nut who earned the right by hard work, putting in my time, not a privilege given to me.

At first glance this is what I got for ya

 

Rear center brake light needs to be blacked out very badly

Front and rear gmc emblems need to be a different color, black or brushed metal, or carbon fiber.

or removing the rear gmc emblem all together

Just a thought, but carbon fiber on the door pillars between the windows to create a uniform color, I think it might be pleasing to the eyes.

I like the retractable nerf bar idea, would look great.

New wheels and tires, thinking satin black. Or powder coat the stock rims.

Corsa sport dual exhaust, I have it on my 08 Sierra Denali and love it!

 

Thats all I can think of for now! It looks great by the way!

Oh.... I, in no way, was critisizing man. It just seemed fitting haha. I respect anyone that does well for themselves. I work my ass off too. I like seeing people do well in life.

 

It was simply a gangsta way of saying.... "This guy played his cards right!"

[wifeysdenali]

well you asked

 

Not gonna happen.

[Rewillia]

well you asked

 

No worries. Guess I should have been a bit more clearer as regard seeking opinions on the mods I've already done and not toward other mod possibilities.

 

I'm pretty much finished with exception of the power assist running boards/steps but will wait till I find the right set.

no worries, I do think that a darker tinted third brake light would look nice on your carbon roof. But it looks great either way. I try to take my mind off those new Denalis, makes me want one. They look sharp, but I have just 38k miles on my 08 Denali and no payment so I keep telling myself to just be happy. lol! I went to GMC's website and built one up with exact options mine has on it and it was like $60k msrp. Mine stickered for $48k in 08. Its amazing how much they have gone up in just a few years.

Enjoy it!

Waiting on Republic Carriers enclosed transporter to pickup the truck today and haul it to Tacoma WA where it will transfer to a whale back roll-on/roll-off ferry for onward protected transport to Anchorage. All in about 4 weeks transit time.

 

Last night I completed my engine block heater install by installing a 110 vlt marine grade power socket plug in the front left fog light housing as I didn't want to have its cord hanging out of the hood and dangling about. I think this is a "clean" install that will work out well. While I was at it, also installed the same (plug) on my Land Rover which as well is being shipped to Alaska.
