[Scottydoggs]

poured here last night and most of the morning, checked my moon roof for leaks, all dry. got some fabric cleaner leather cleaner and some conditioner and some car odor crap. meguiars sells it cant be all bad. kinda smells like new car.

stains on the moon roof slider from a leak.

looks to be gone. still a bit wet see what it looks like tomorrow i guess.

cleaned the seats up, they didnt look dirty till you put cleaner on em lol forgot to take before's, afters will have to do.
seat bottom need to be replaced. that tear kills me.

 

[Scottydoggs]

outside is a filthy mess. if it stays nice out ill hit it with the buffer and make it really shine. been putting it off due to the cold. needs a full compounding too, swirls all over the place. gonna be a all day event i see already.

That tear isn't bad at all, easy to stitch up. Scrubbing bubbles work great at lifting the dirt off leather. Just gotta use conditioner once you're done, dries out the leather.

you got new foam too i hope, looks well used.

i got a thing with torn seats, i cant have that. they dont get smaller, only larger, then kill the foam then your buying foam too. as the saying goes, a stitch in time......f it ill get a new cover lol

the 05 silverado work truck i had to replace both the foam and covers on both sides. that added up pretty fast for vinyl covers even. best part is the new foam i got had heaters, i took them off to save. that truck dont have the option for em. now i got two bottom spares that will fit my truck. lucked out there.

No clue what Kicker sub is discontinued. But I have one that I might as well put up for sale since I can't use it. Its one of those gray or silver Comp VR's I believe. I bought it a few years ago from a member on another forum who had it for less than three months then he traded in his Tahoe. But apparently the sub Box on a Suburban is not quite as deep as the box on a Tahoe. I've just had the damn thing boxed up for the last few years "planning" on figuring out a way to make my sub box a bit deeper. But of course that never happened.....

How much is the sub sticking out? Could put a spacer on the face of the box to raise the sub. Theres some room between the box and the interior panel. I don't see an 8 having that much flex as to hit the panel.

No foam needed with that one. The torn foam you see is the thin foam that's sewn to the underside of the leather, not the actual foam cushion. This is what I do for dealers.

so being your a seat pro, where do you recommend getting a new cover from, other then gm of course....

ive seen a few ebay sellers who ask for your vin and rpo code to make sure its the right color.

Def not a pro. Alot of guys like using the Seat Shop. I think they have a video on YouTube. I just repair, I don't replace.

 

[Scottydoggs]

wo, i had to zoom in on the seat pic, that thing looks new, not repaired. you do damn nice work.

I do what I can. Sometimes I have to do miracles with the crap I get to work with.

Replaced my drivers seat cover and foam. Got them from the seat shop. Spot on match to factory.

 

[Scottydoggs]

that does look good. they are on the pricey side tho.

 

[mwilson62000]

^^ Yeah, $200 for cover, $100 or so for the foam. Worth it IMO. I had big rip in seat just like yours. Couldn’t stand looking at it any longer.

 

[Scottydoggs]

looks like we got sister trucks too. im paining my bumpers and grill red tho, cant stand the chrome, its out of place looking to me.

the last owner of mine must have been a light person, cause to my surprise the foam is in real good shape still for a 120,000 mile seat.

 

[Alpha-Lykos]

Well, I got tags more my new to me White, 03 Z71/ls Burb! The rest of the weekend was spent cleaning the residue of the PO's three kids and dog of the seats. Removing said seats and scrubbing the carpet is next.

Hi all! Glad to be here!

Definitely on my long to do list! Looks awesome!!

I just ordered a new evap canister to hopefully get rid of the tighten gas cap warning and the check engine light.

I've also been looking at suspension options and have been leaning towards these...

Coupled with these

Is there anything I need that isn't in these 2 kits to eliminate autoride minus resistors?

I was looking at a vender on here and I had questions for them but no answer so far (going on several days)

I also ordered a new license plate bulb holder does anyone by any chance have a guide to removing the denali bumper cover to access the bulb holder? I couldn't find anything on YouTube

Don't know much on the suspension kits, but the bumper is easiest with it off, imo. There are 10 bolts holding it on. 4 on each end (2 vertical, 2 horizontal) and 2 by the hitch. I think they are 14 and 18,iirc. Once you pull it you'll see from the back how all the plastic clips on. The black pieces have 2 pronged clips all over the place and they hold the bumper cover on. The cover itself (skin) has no clips. You could probably pry the black parts off without removing the bumper, but I found it waaaaaaay easier to be able to get on the clips from the back and sqeeze them with pliers.

So pretty much if I lay on my back under the back bumper I should see the clips and just use pliers to undo them? I don't actually have to remove the bumper

I suppose so. Some of them are in pretty tricky spots even with the bumper off, but I'm sure your wouldn't be the first to accomplish it.
