Yeah Richmond is pretty good, as good as any. I bought their fronts for my Denali and although the DS front developed an issue after 2 years and was out of warranty they replaced both sides for free. Just check when you get them that the parts that are leather on your originals are also leather on the replacements. Mine weren’t originally and they told me it was stated in the description that they were out of one of the colors and would be substituted with vinyl. I was pissed but the new ones are now a type that supposedly wears like leather but time will tell. I heard the Seat Shop is doing the same on some colors so read the fine print and inspect the covers before installing them.

No biggie, but I was at a shop that was putting leather covers on a seat, so I got a puc of that rod I was talking about.
Hog rings attached to the underside of the cover are holding onto that rod, and that keeps everything in place.

How the hell do you replace the cover? that's the backs correct? The bottoms are nice, they use Velcro in the creases.

Tops are alot harder then the bottoms. Some use velcro, and some use the rods with the hog rings. I've never done a top cover, so I can't comment on that. The pic is fron an upper driver side cushion--wasn't from an nbs/nnbs. It was similar, so I wanted to show you guys.

A member, @Tankueray has a build thread that explained how she did it.

So I completely forgot I made a build thread lol. I'll just go with most recent. I dont remember what had happened since December but I just did knock sensors and every gasket pretty much involved with that job.
I also picked up a set of 20" Z71s that I traded my 22s for.
Cleaned throttle body and intake manifold. Along with injectors and fuel rail with new o rings. Installed catch can and used a paint marker on the engine cover.
Next up is transmission flush and filter. Then when I get around to taxes I want to replace the leather seats.

I also think I'll do new valve cover gaskets when I do my spark plugs and wires then get some wrinkle red paint for the valve covers.

It rides so well. I wish it was a light tighter. Also looks like the UCA ball joint busted. Does anyone know it Moog Problem Solvers have serviceable ball joints? Or know of a better UCA? I just did all this not that long ago. I'm kinda pissed.
Also looks like I may not have trimmed enough of the UCA bolt through the spindle the Axle boot has some rub marks and possibly leaked grease, although I can find no holes.
Tierods and lowers seem ok maybe now that the 20s are on itll be less stress on everything and I can put money elsewhere (sway bars and better shocks)

My transmission makes me so nervous. I see my temp gauge go to 150 and I read somewhere the trans should be around 110-120 preferably. It got me thinking I should upgrade the trans cooler.
I also worry all the time that the trans will grenade on me randomly lol
I have all the supplies to do the trans flush and filter change I just never find the motivation to do it.
I might buy this piece here to facilitate the flush.

Away!
150 is fine. Even up to 180 I'd say is fine. You don't need to worry on temp until you're up around or over 200, imo.
Yes, that's the piece you need. Worked great for me.
