This is not a "plug and play" procedure by any strech but with some patience and some trimming it can be done....First off I had to pull the sun visors off to drop the front of the headliner to fish the wires through....There is 4 clips and one screw that holds the console to the roof....You have to break off the screw tower to make it fit (see pic) Dont worry, the 4 push in clips seem more than enuff to hold the console in place....On your left guage (boost in pic) leave the left thumb screwoff and hacksaw the guage studs flush with the right thumb screw....The Trippen mount does not fit the Denali console like the non sunroof console ! You can not "bottom" out the Trippin mount for 2 reasons, the console wont snap into place and second it would put your guages at to much of a downward angle to read....Bottom out the top of the mount and the bottom is gonna stick out less than a half inch....IMO it still looks like a clean install and a factory option thats suppose to be there....Viewing angle is not as good as the non sunroof console but is still pretty good....Any questions fell free to ask ! Good luck !

One last comment, thanx to Guy Tripp, his mount is one of the nicest pieces I have ever seen ! Also, The Denali console is a darker Gray than the original, witch IMO looks much better....:bigglasse

Do you have all those other buttons hooked-up? What are they for? Nice install.

Todd, that looks wonderful...but your font choice is giving me a headache! I changed it...can you choose another more reader-friendly one?

Sorry Chris ! Yeh, bad choice, LOL....Someone asked about the switches....No they are not hooked up. You can order the Trippin mount with or with out them at no extra coin, so I would rather have them than wish I had them in the future.... Plus they are top notch rocker style switches with a red led ? light when the switch is powered, very kool....Oh, And Jesse, all the yelling is part of my anger management therapy after this bloody knuckle install ! :mad:
