    Second row cup holders

    The second-row cupholder disgrace was driving me nuts as well. After hours of considering various possible solutions, I finally settled on something that works fairly decently. It's not perfect, and it's not cheap, but it's extremely flexible and had very little permanent impact on the car. I...

    Cargo Area Light Mod

    I definitely had camping in mind when I did this But, yes, I am part of a SAR team, and we often do initial incident management work out of the backs of our POVs until our unit trucks and trailers arrive. I was getting really tired of having to hang little camping lanterns and magnetic LED...

    Cargo Area Light Mod

    And here are some pics showing the lights "in action." I drove someplace almost pitch black and turned off all of the other lights in/on the car. All of the illumination is from the LEDs. 20180219-001-2 by 4wheeljive posted Feb 20, 2018 at 10:09 AM 20180219-001 by 4wheeljive posted Feb 20...

    Cargo Area Light Mod

    Here's a pic that shows the four 1-watt lights across the panel than point down and the two 3-watt lights on the bottom edge that point aft. You can also see the bank of switches. 20180220-001 by 4wheeljive posted Feb 20, 2018 at 10:09 AM 20180220-001-2 by 4wheeljive posted Feb 20, 2018 at 10:09 AM

    Cargo Area Light Mod

    Thanks. Removing the inner liftgate panel was a MAJOR pain. A lot more difficult than the rear header panel. There are at least a dozen of those red and black fasteners spread fairly evenly across the panel, and it was hard to find good places to grab and pull. And you have to pull really...

    I then ran two more sets of wires from the switch area above the liftgate window down the pillar to the left/driver's side of the window to the inside of the lower part of the liftgate. The second set of lights would be 4 LEDs mounted across the lower inside panel (so they would shine down and...

    Cargo Area Light Mod

    Since I was going to have lights mounted both inside the cargo area and under/behind the liftgate, I decided to place my switches on the panel above the liftgate window. So I ran the power and ground wires up through a conduit that leads from (a) the passenger side of the header area above the...

    Cargo Area Light Mod

    Here are a couple of pics of the roof panel at the rear of the cargo area. As David said, you have to pull really hard to get the 4 red fasteners to release. The LED bolts I got were from Oznium (1 watt, cool white, no lens). Awesome quality! Where David used spades, I used Anderson Powerpole...

    Cargo Area Light Mod

    I am hugely indebted to the OP, David. The lack of lighting in the cargo area has driven me nuts, and I struggled over how to deal with it. I ended up copying David's solution almost exactly, and I am thrilled with how it came out. I also took things a step further to light up the exterior space...

    2nd Row cupholders and air

    I'm not aware that GM makes second row consoles for anything 2015 or later. If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know! I just got a 2016 Yukon and have been racking my brain trying to find something to put in the second row to hold drinks and make better use of the space.
