Antenna no more!
So today I decided to get rid of that factory antenna that we all hate so much. Looks MUCH cleaner without it. Didn't lose any reception either. I used 10 gauge braided wire and ran it up the weather stripping by the passenger door. Heat shrunk the connector and used a loop on the stud. Pretty...- CRickman85

De-Badged and De-Trimmed today!
I bought it from a retired small-town detective. It was his personal vehicle but apparently he had a few PPV extras thrown in.- CRickman85

De-Badged and De-Trimmed today!
Thanks! I'm preheating the oven right now to remove the amber filter from my corner lights, and then I'm headed to the hardware store to pick up a 1/4 inch nut so that I can hide that antenna.- CRickman85

De-Badged and De-Trimmed today!
Well, just like the title says, I took the plunge and ripped all of the badging and trim off my 2001 Tahoe today. I was a bit nervous about paint fade and what have you, it being an older model and all. however, after giving it a little spray off, I'm stoked about the results. I used an AE...- CRickman85

Nah, it sounds 100% better because they aren't busted. All of my original factory speakers were shredded.- CRickman85

Upgraded to Bose, hookup factory amp?
Hey guys, I just replaced all the factory speakers in my 01 Hoe with a Bose set I found at the JY. My truck has the factory amp behind the glove box, but I'mnot sure about how to wire it to these new speakers. They already sound 100% better, but I know they are meant to be run with an amp, an...- CRickman85

2001 Tahoe Cargo Security Shade
Alright guys, I've been hitting up the local Pick-A-Part in hopes of finding a shade. No luck. However, I did pick up a full set of Bose speakers and a set of Escalade rear vent-caps and only paid $48.00! I think I did pretty well. The speakers sound great! Now, I just need to sand the vent-caps...- CRickman85

2001 Tahoe Cargo Security Shade
Apparently there are 2 rear interior trim styles in the 2001 Tahoe. One has a shade that is 64-66 inches wide, the other is 60-63 inches. From what I've heard the shorter one was only put in about 10% of 2001 Tahoes. All the shades I've tried were from either Tahoes or Yukons, and they're all...- CRickman85

2001 Tahoe Cargo Security Shade
Guys! I've been looking for a cargo shade for my 2001 Tahoe. I've met with 2 people off of Craigslist, only to find out my Tahoe needs the (apparently super rare!) shorter width cargo shade.

New guy from Nashville
Hey everybody! I just picked up a 2001 Tahoe LS. Never been a big GM guy, but the Tahoe is changing that. In my experience, a talk forum can be the best source for info and opinions. It's good to be here!- CRickman85
