Heya Fellas,
Well I probably should of posted here rather in the pictures section. I'd been in the market for a GMT and after a long lasting search got my hand on a 05 Denali. It has all the bells and whistles absolute everything. I went to pick it up the other day and completely stalled on me with a Reduced Power engine light. I gave the guy his keys back and took a cab back home
The guy sorted it out and gave it back to me yesterday night to try it out, and luckily it's raining cats and dogs out here. Floods everywhere and so far so good
Some small Maintenance is required which I found:
1- Airbag sensor gone bad
2- Brake Disks need grinding down
3- Tires need replacement (no big deal, got 20's coming in so need to be changed anyway)
4- Weak tie rod
5- Change the Transfer Case, Transmission, and Differential Oils
6- Windshield wipers
I'm gonna give him a buzz after work and see how far he'll go down on the price. Just tell him buddy, the Car still requires some amount of work and need a discount
! I did get it for a great price and what I love is that it's a V8 with 4WD. Most of the denali's I saw around was the AWD version and can't really control the 4WD.
What's coming for the Denali:
1- Fix her up - Due
2- Spacers and Leveling Kit - Next Month
3- 20" Boss 16 Rims (275-55-20's) - Due after getting 2
4- Remove Door trims and Resonator - Due
5- Remove the running boards (I hope, always had a problem getting those off because my wife will use it at least 2-3 times a week and with a 2 yr old that is stubborn as a mule that prefers like to climb in than be carried lol)
5- PCM4LESS tune - later
6- Headunit - later
Still haven't got the chance to take any Decent pictures. I picked it up yesterday night and my wife is driving it around to test it since i'm stuck at work LOL! I'm driving her 07 Ibiza for now.
I'll definitely snap some pics over the weekend and in terms of the size of lift and rim setup i'm kind of looking for something like this. It's not a serious offroad look but I never found anyone to wheel with here so the most I do is go to the beach and crawl over sidewalks now

So wish me luck with this
Once the Envoy is officially mine, i'll be moving all of this to my Build Page!

IIRC the Denali running boards also serve as rocker panels below the doors. So would you be buyin new rocker panels to bolt on as well? If you were stateside, you could make a pretty penny selling the Denali boards. 
Welcome to the Denali world. Can hardly wait to see yours come together with the mods you have planned. Your 2 yr old gonna love the DVD player. Did the seller give you the extras like 2 wireless headphones and a remote, an air pump hose with gauge, rear cargo cover and cargo net. Some peolple take it out. Mine was missing the 2 headphones but the dealer ordered them in for me, ended up with a extra remote because it comes as a kit. Hope to see some pics soon.
Here are some pix from this morning before going for work, still dirty from the storm and floods :wootwoot:
