what useful items do you carry in your SUV?
I carry most of the basic stuff listed here (flashlight, G19, tow strap, blankets, shit tickets, ratchet straps, etc), but BY FAR my most used are the folding cargo organizers with handles for Costco/Sams or groceries. No boxes to break down and trash, and no worries about the slight slope... -

Brightest D3S bulb for factory housing
I used some amz LED DS3s and they are marginally better, but still lacking vs every other HID set-up I have ever owned. Seriously, WTF GM? I have found a good set of LEDs in the fogs helps out tremendously - like about the same output as the low beams, so I always use both. LEDs in the high... -
Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?
This brings up a really good point about the seats: comfort was max at gmt 800 and has lessened over the years to emulate the "European" style. I really held out buying a 900 because of the seats, but I had to get back into an Avalanche. I do notice the driver seat bottom bolster holds up a lot...- K2 Kaiju

Universal Remote System: Can It Be Re-Wired to Ignition or RAP for Its Power Source?
This is something that has always bugged me, but does it still work if the alarm is going off? I need to test that. I do know I have had my battery disconnected for quite a while, and the homelink worked without reprogramming. This would be a great mod to do. Maybe do a kill switch that cuts...- K2 Kaiju

Added Subwoofer, not getting the results expected
The spot you tapped has a processed signal that pulls bass to protect the speaker at high volume. If you tap the harness right at the Bose amp (its in the back driver side by the jack/tools), you will get a better sub signal. This post may help find the tap...

It should work with any K2 Bose setup (including LT and SLT) since they all have the cheap ass corners. Please try it out and let us know what you think...- K2 Kaiju

Yukon Denali amplifier speaker stereo upgrade
LOL, better late than never! It actually gets better as they break in. After a few months, I much prefer this sound quality to the 4 speaker plus 12" woofer I wrote about earlier in this post and I dont have a big box & amp taking up all that space...- K2 Kaiju

Leveling 2016 Z71
Be aware that the wheel wells are cut offset - if you make it perfectly level it will look front high. Also, the ride quality goes downhill quickly when you go over 2" level, which is why 2" is the sweet spot for levels. I was pretty happy with the 1.5" motofab on my burb with .75" dynapro rear...- K2 Kaiju

Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?
The slight cargo slope isnt a problem - a hell of a lot better than the fold forward seats that had to be removed to get them out of the way - that shit sucked. Pros: They are all faster and have better MPG. AA/carplay is the most advanced anything needs to be in a vehicle; once you get to...- K2 Kaiju

Magneride Delete
Ah yeah sorry, didnt go back all the way. Glad that conversion worked out for you - keep us informed on how the system holds up. Some days my magneride is buttery smooth, then others I think its going out at 77k. Nobody wants to pay what these fools charge for the OEM replacements - a little...- K2 Kaiju

Ditched the 22 Snowflakes for 18" AT4 Wheels
So I put them on craiglist for very little interest, then did facebook marketplace and sold them in a few days for $1600 (lots of lowballs - just ignore them). I am in DFW. I sold the take off wranglers for $250 there as well which was a very nice bonus. FBM is the place now, see what others are... -

What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?
Yes - you do several full throttle 0-60 (+) runs to get the engine heated up and knock loose all the crap. It can be bad if you have a weak link somewhere, but every time I have done it the engine runs a lot smoother...- K2 Kaiju

Buyers Remorse?
Do yourself a favor and ditch the 22s. They dont balance well, and tire choices are crap plus expensive as hell. A big trend I noticed on you tube (which I followed) is switching to AT4 18" wheels. Plenty of tire choices, and you can save 15lb+ of unsprung weight per wheel. I actually came out...- K2 Kaiju

Buyers Remorse?
Yeah you really need to get rid of it. God only knows what kind of hissy fit you will throw when you need a real repair (possibly due to you refusing to use the recommended fuel). You could pick up a new GX/LX/Sequoia with that "reliable" boosted 6 they all have now...- K2 Kaiju

Battery Replacement a Professional Job?!
Its a pita on these rigs - much easier on the gmt900s. After removing the braces, I had to flip it sideways to get it out, and oem doesnt have a handle to get a good grip. Its awkward and heavy - make sure you have a stepladder, a strap, and a fender cover. It also helps to not have anything...- K2 Kaiju

I just put a set of FCS on son's 3 series, and they greatly improved the ride as his were totally blown - cheap too from Rock Auto. His car rides better than mine now. How are the FCS holding up on the Yukon? You get any codes on the dash? I would pay for OEM, but I really don't want to...- K2 Kaiju

Why the switch to big rims?
Try new sway bars - they will make a difference. Put them all the way forward on the back too - I had my hotchkis on back hole at first then went forward - much more snap in rear. Did the same on my burb from mid to front on hellwigs - noticable improvement...
