Factory jump seat. There's some scratches here and there, but it is 13 yrs old . Overall I'm very happy with it, along with the esky shifter. Guess you didn't catch that! Lol:peace:

Wish I could figure out what to do with that rear radio controller. I'm not liking it.

What method did you use for that? Did you have a painter do it? I'm in the process of having the chrome side rails of a Esky roof rack done by a painter.
I just rattle canned it. Kept the chrome just in case I wanted to undo it. 2 coats adhesion promoter, 4 coats of body, and 4 coats of clear. No sanding and clear xame out very nice.

It will peel eventually. Nothing sticks to chrome forever. You can order that piece in an un chromed version though and paint it.

Yea, chrome is too smooth for any paint. I almost added a few layers of plasti dip under the body color because it seem to adhere to metals really well. We'll see how long this lasts.

Just ordered a 3" body lift, Ford Keys and 3" Extended Sway Bar links off E-Bay, $389 shipped for everything.

Now to take the shocks, extenders, rear springs and spacers out of the Suburban, and have them ready for putting in my Yukon XL. Waiting not-so-patiently for the 30 day warranty to be up, don't want the dealer saying anything I did caused anything else to go wrong.

Then It's going UP! Almost 6" from the keys and BL, then almost another 2" from switching from the P265/70/16's to the 285/75/16's... then almost another inch when I eventually go 315/75/16's or 325/60/20's...

I've also thought about doing this, but I haven't yet .Has anyone tried that? If so , how we're the results .

My buddy has used PlastiDip on a dash he painted after he was having adhesion issues. Seems to be holding fine with 3 coats of high build primer and base clear on top of it. Turned out smooth and has been polished. Only time will tell how well it will really work.

Started prepping my HD hood for paint. Had a small dent so I'll have to fill that first. No pics yet. My garage was getting full of mosquitos so it was time to roll.

Demold done, gotta put a buff on it, driver side door had 2 nice little dings under it, just my luck. Took off bug deflector and rain guards and started to take of the rack.

I installed my running lights and turn signals today. I haven't gotten my depo headlights in the mail yet. I also painted the bumper plastic and Lower valence with black duplicate color bumper and trim paint with some clear... I do need to find some fog lights and am thinking about raptor orange LEDs somewhere as a little accent
