Default '08 All Wheel Drive Denali
I'm not sure if this project fits in great around here, so just let me know if you guys want to see more of it and i'll keep posting pictures...

I consider it the "family" car that everyone would love to have! An all wheel drive brand new Denali with a Supercharged 6.0L and big wheels.

This was our 2009 SEMA project and made it to the show (not quite finished). Since then, we've been working on all of the details to get it right and get it the way we want it before re-painting it and going for SEMA again this year!

Here's some pics of it:

What we started with

I'll get to the rendering in a bit...One of them at least...

I forgot to mention that we tried to keep every OEM part on the truck. We re-used the factory electronically controlled shocks which change the valving depending on road conditions. There were (and still are) 3 computers that control just the chassis on this vehicle.

The only good suspension we could fit in the back is a 3-link with a panhard bar setup because we wanted to keep the gas tank in the stock location. To keep cutting to a minimum (I really tried even though it's VERY cut), we actually designed the panhard bar to run around the upper 3-link bar. We chose to go with a panhard bar over a watts link as it provided us a better roll center since it is a top heavy SUV.
