I noticed the sand rail in the back round of some of your pics. I'm building one myself.

Old ass brandwood rail with a turbo1915

The aftermarket ones like Katzkin have a lot of vinyl too unless you pay a lot more for the all leather ones. Plus their leather is thinner. My 05 has 270,000 miles on it and only one tiny tear in the driver side bottom. I’d be willing to bet a Katzkin one would be far worse off.

Im pretty sure i mentioned, and if by some off chance i didnt, i absolutely agree, most newer katzkin kits are similar leather/vinyl as factory unless upgraded. However, on 03-06 tahoes yukons escalades, suburbans etc. I can absolutely guarantee come with more leather content factory. I know, ive done a ton of em. As for katzins leather being thinner, also incorrect, and i will happily post pics and measurements to prove so if you desire. My tahoe has 200k miles, had katzkins since it had 15k miles on it. Has very minor creasing, no other wear... of course, i know how to maintain em. Take care of your stuff, itll last. Im very sorry if you have had a bad experience with an installer or a product, but please dont give uninformed advice, as it can lead to someone wasting money on an inferior product.

I would like to see pics, especially your Tahoe ones that you say have been on since 15k miles. I have thought about using katzkin in the future, as I hear good things. But there is the Seat Shop that also sounds good too.

Added some Fosgate speakers. Made them fit under the factory screen. Fosgste is sending me an emblem to tske place of the Bose ones from the factory. Looks a lot cleaner this way then using the so called pods people buy on my opinion.

Is the top one a horn?

It’s a Rockford fosgate pp4-T 1.5” tweeter. Yet the gd thing is 5 in Around

Nice . Interesting tho, my speakers are mounted on the door frame itself and not the door panel.

 

[Ryan Buck]

Hummm interesting, post a picture I would like to see. The speakers I have could not be mounted on the metal itself because the magnet is to big.i would have liked it that way. I’m now not sure which speaker I’m going to go with. I also bought 2 old-school sets of Rockford Fosgate Power 6.5 components. T162s and a few sets of marine 6.5s and 8s they are the element speakers. So we shall see

Is that so your door panel won't blow off the door?

this was what i’ve been working on. i did the big brake kit all the way around. looks sweet especially behind my new American force 20 x 12 wheels and 37x13.50x20 nitto trail grappler.( that’s a bigcmofo of a tire). i’m liking the new look. I have never liked Lifted Tahoe’s but the one that I got this idea from really stuck and I liked it a lot. My brother growing up always had trucks like super duty’s excursion with the S 10 to 12 inch lift kits with 38x15.50s So I like the look of a big square tire hanging out the side with the flat side wall not a 45° angle LOL next I’m gonna put the Z 71 roof rack on and take the Cadillac one off. It sits up high so it makes the truc
seem a little higher to the eyel I also have to figure out how to get my sidewinder steps installed and make brackets for those because getting in now is a pain in the ass and I don’t want to tear up my seat or break my steering column you need to pull in. I also need to get some ugly ass mudflaps which I don’t want th I guess the first thing I need to do is rehear the damn thingI’m thinking 456 is or even 500 but before I can do that even I want to get the rent out of the Escalade highbred the 9.5 inch 14.bolt

Well since you informed me that Katzkin leather isn’t thinner and is quality I’m happy to say I’m in the process of replacing all the factory leather in my 08 CC Silverado with Katzkin. I like the look of the Katzkin better. I’ll admit the quality seems to be good.
