What are you using to clean the seats with? They look really good.

Thank you, using vinegar and water with paper towel and a toothbrush to scrub in all the crevices and seams. After they are clean I used Simoniz leather conditioner rubbed in with paper towel and a tooth brush to scrub it in to all the seams.

Finally finished the cleaning tonight, need to install the switches and plastic pieces and the seats are done!

Was the windshield trim piece cracked? If so, what did you use to repair that? I have a few cracks in mine.

Yes it was cracked. I roughed it up on the inside with 80 grit and cleaned well then buttered the crack with JB weld and covered the crack on the inside with Jb as well.

Epoxy primer on the box and cut the hole for B&W turnover ball

After many hours of cleaning, sanding and wire brushing the underside is undercoated.

Also got the rest of the exhaust fitted, need to install hangers and clamps now.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Mounted the class V hitch with 7 pin connector and brake controller. Made some trailer mud flaps that slide in the ends of the hitch, made the power/heated seats wiring harness and installed, installed mopar tach, gentex mirror wired and installed, cab harness needed to be lengthened 14" and installed, audio wires installed, new body moldings and mudflaps arrived and picked up a parts truck! Also installed door plungers, cargo light and interior lights.

Getting very tired of electrical, used a entire package or shrink wrap, roll of solder and 3 rolls of tape. Can finally see the end of the electrical though!

Thanks!

It came out of a 03 Avalanche, wanted one without the Onstar button and telephone buttons. They come in so many options tough to find exactly what I wanted. I think Ford and Toyota used them occasionally too.

Scrubbed up the LE wheel well moldings and gave them a coat of satin fusion. Installed some pioneer 3-way 6x9's in the front doors. What do you you guys think LE emblems or no LE emblems?

I vote no LE emblem, but I'm not an emblem kinda guy.

Appreciate the info on the mirror, even though I'm staying away from a lot of the normal power options, ie windows, doors, seats, etc., I like the mirror with the temp and direction.
