    Escalade Roof Rack

    I’ve not had the best luck with them in the past, but this match to pewter is pretty much dead on. The only way you can tell a difference is to set the caps right on the oem paint and the pigment is good, but the flake in it is different but this isn’t a show truck for me, so I’m more than pleased.

    Escalade Roof Rack

    I just finished painted my caps for the escalade roof rack i bought recently. I have to say, I'm very surprised that duplicolor perfect match spray paints are actually close to spot on.

    ***SOLD*** 02-14 SWB Escalade Roof Rack

    Does this have the mounting hardware, or do you just reuse the hardware from your factory rack? Also, I'm in Bradenton, FL. about an hour south of Tampa. how far away are you?

    Steering wheel controls

    I have a 2001 tahoe LS and I've been tossing around the idea of adding steering wheel controls that came on denali and escalades. As anyone done this before or seen it done? I'm not talking about swapping to a 2003+ steering wheel, but certain early (2001-2002) escalades and denalis had...

    Wire stripper shopping

    I've used these in addition to the ones you posted in the original post. These seem to work better for smaller AWG wires because there are two V shaped blades, so it cuts through the insulation in 4 points so it breaks less strands.

    nbs escalade roof rack & denali cluster

    Where are you at in florida? I'm interested in the escalade roof rack, but shipping would no doubt be killer. I'm in Bradenton/sarasota area.

    New double DIN head unit ('04 Suburban)?

    I've never owned anything android so no need to visit there, but if there is a way to mirror an iphone onto an android tablet that's quite interesting. The only thing I'd ask is why spend all the time and money to fabricate a low priced tablet? Seems counter productive to me. Anyway, sounds like...

    New double DIN head unit ('04 Suburban)?

    That won't work with an iPhone. He's already said he has an iPhone and iPod. No need to turn this into an android vs apple thread.

    New double DIN head unit ('04 Suburban)?

    Thats true, as I said, it will mirror certain apps, but as far as I know nothing will allow full mirroring. You can do an appletv, but then things get grossly over complicated. OP, what apps specifically are you trying to gain access to through your radio?

    New double DIN head unit ('04 Suburban)?

    I would check out any of the new pioneer units. They all can do iphone mirroring for certain apps, but unfortunately thats about the best you can do. If you want to be able to play videos from an ipod classic, then thats fairly straight forward with auxiliary inputs. I recently installed an...

    Crimestoppers remote start

    It's every bit as labor intensive as any other aftermarket remote start. Unfortunately it isn't until the nnbs tahoes and silverados that a plus and play solution has been made. I'd honestly say go with a reputable brand like compustar, or any of the directed products for an alarm or remote...

    Dumb factory audio question

    They have an extra p##n on the back of the stereo for additional add ons like cd changer, rose and others. There are companies who use that port to add an auxiliary input. Isimple is a company I used to use when installing

    99-02 Whipple questions

    I know this is old, but an FYI on that kit, it's horrible. I bought a rcsb silverado with that kit on it, and it was a dog, never ran right. The extra two fuel injectors mounted on the intake is a horrible design which is pretty much impossible to tune. The supercharger it self isn't bad, but...

    Seats

    There are aftermarket kits available to add heated seats. Also the seat shop has replacement upholstery that's a decent match to Oem and replacement cushions if you're more of a do it yourself type of person.

    from NON-LUX TO LUX UPGRADE

    I've definitely been there, I had a rcsb silverado with a full Arc Audio stereo (black series drivers and kx amps) fed by an audison bit.one and an ipad. It was awesome, but unfortunately RCSB doesn't give you much in the way of ability to transport your sales clients, so I moved to a tahoe now...

    from NON-LUX TO LUX UPGRADE

    I definitely understand what you're saying, and I reread the OP's first post, and know why he is going the route he is. I'm just saying you're not making a fair comparison. Honestly the bose amp is optimized to work with completely stock parts, and is extremely limited in it's capabilities. I'm...

    from NON-LUX TO LUX UPGRADE

    I'd take that challenge. IF you notice all of those speakers are still bridged to function as a 4 channel. and for the $200 price I would say you could easily find something which out performs it. especially if you're looking for something used (which the stock bose amp is). And if you want to...

    2001 GMC YUKON ElECTRICAL ISSUE

    I'm a little late to the party, but it sounds like bad grounds to me. There are some grounding straps in the engine compartment and they could have been removed and not tightened back properly. The intermittency of the injures makes this sound like it could be the issue.

    from NON-LUX TO LUX UPGRADE

    Unless you're just geeking out over keeping it all oem there is no reason to not go aftermarket. Aftermarket can outperform it in every way provided you don't want to keep a super low budget.

    New Stereo

    Best bet for doing what you want is an alpine powerpack. Part number Ktp-445u. They're designed to work without the need for rca cables and a stand alone power wire linking it to the battery. Boost your power output to 45x4 rms
