I find having a d-ring on the back of my vehicles comes in handy and didn’t love the look without the hitch cover on the Tahoe. Started messing around with options and came up with this. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Maybe someday there will be an oem in-use option that will expose the trailer electrical connection and chain connection points that looks clean, but until then this should work for the d-ring at least.View attachment 388334View attachment 388335
Looks good. Considering doing something similar and adding flush mount flood lights on both sides of hitch plugged into the 7 pin for extra back up lights.

I know, I know....but I dont drive it much, its the wife's doing. I thought with all the cameras that it would not be much of an issue.....but I was wrong...
I actually used the camera system yesterday in the drive through to see my front and rear tires nearly hit the curb. The rear view is digitally zoomed and a little grainy, but not terrible in daylight conditions.

I'm waiting on the GMC branded mat for the XL. I'm not happy with the GMC first row mats though, so probably going to eat the cost and order the weather tech one.
I actually went gm for first and second row, weather techs on previous vehicles curled up. So far i like the gm better. Behind 2nd row I tried the gm (3 piece) thinking it would be cool when 3rd row was in use. Didn’t like that one at all, prefer the weathertech.

After a full day of errands in the snow and slush, the GM mats weren't deep enough to hold all the melt and leaked over into the carpet. The WeatherTech mats I had in my RX were at least 1cm deep and held water better.

I want to add this to my 2022 Z71. Did you do it yourself? Pain? I got nervous when I read you have to loosen remove the front bumper fascia. At ~$400 for part only, this has got to be something I can do myself.
Yes, did it myself and got one off eBay for under $300. There’s a part number that fits 2021-2022, and then an updated part number for the 22-23. I got the older part number because of the “deal” and it worked fine.

Didn’t take the front assembly off at all, got at the back of the driver side headlight from above and below by peeling back the fender liner (look for @hdrolling thread, big help!). Little tricky getting the connector disconnected but doable. One thing that hung me up and I lost a ton of time. On the connectors you slide back the locking red tab first (release easy then a smidge more a little harder to fully release). Then squeeze the connector to get it released. The one that came with the glowtie wire harness you squeeze the outer part of the connector to release it. The one on the headlight you squeeze the inner part of the connector! You’ll see what I mean if you buy it. Since you’re pretty much doing it by feel that’s the only part that threw me, I’m lucky I didn’t break the connector. Otherwise straightforward, remove the radiator cover to run your wiring, stay clear of the grille shutters, and you’ll be good!

What is that metal assembly..headache rack for inside?
Pet divider to keep our German Shepherd in the back. Could be considered a headache rack for when she’s misbehaving, haha.

Did have a back rack on one of my pickups, saved the back window on a few occasions.

Ahh...didnt even think of that. Yeah, I added one to my F250 AFTER front brakes gave out on a 4-wheeler pulling it into the bed. $9k in damages (covered by insurance) later, I ordered custom headache rack. Once our 15yr old rat terrier meets his maker, we'll be getting a German Shepard.

Thank you! Huge help. I'll check out that other thread too. You don't happen to know the 2020-2021 part number do you? All I'm seeing is the newer part that includes the non-lighted rear with it. Don't need that, my Z71 is black with black emblems like yours.

You’re welcome! Older part number is 85143902, did come with the black rear bow tie just didn’t use it. eBay seller appears to have a couple left, if you search that part number look for the one at $210. Just a pic of the box in the listing.

Imagine an AT4 w/wood like the wagon!
Hell I'm pissed the badge on our front fenders doesn't advertise the displacement of the engine like it does on the 1/2 ton pickups.

Damn shame that Jeep isn't offering the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer with "vinyl siding" on the exterior like my dear old Dad would have said.
