That looks slick already!! Love the amount of audio going into it as well!

Thank you. I love building SPL and SQ rigs. Building a system that cab do both is really hard. I'm 49 an this will probably be my last build. It will be a constant build in progress. We r doing 3 sets of new 6.5 mojo components and a set of 8" in the console up front. Probably put a few 8" for rear fill in the custom center console we are gonna do. Since it has bucket seats front and rear, we are gonna build a one piece console the runs from under the dash to the back row and will hook into the amp rack/sub enclosure to make it look like one piece once it's been wrapped. I named it Punisher, so I'm using the punisher head and a wicked looking black with green zombie reaper Z wrap.

Missed the xl part, reading fast and scanned pic quick. Is it possible to swap seat frame from shorter one to longer one though? Never looked
Sorry, can't swap the seats from an XL into a standard Yukon. Brackets for the second row are completely different - the XL's brackets are completely on the floor, while the second row for the Shorty bolt onto the ledge.

I wrapping the lips and rolling with these for a while. The Forces are like last one the list. With their lead time, they'll need a year or 2 anyway. Here's the wrap

No problem, I'm a thick skinned grumpy old army vet. It takes alot to get to me. If by some miracle my timeline on the Forces jump ahead, I'll gladly send you the ones on it for a small fee and shipping/handling. Unless you wanna drive to NC

I believe the front seats have the same mounting brackets in the Yukon/Tahoe and Suburban/ Yukon XL. don't quote me as being gospel, tho.

BUT..... there isn't any reason you couldn't remove the entire seat track from one seat and bolt it to another. Hell, I took some '93 Grand Am front seats, and made them work in my old '88 S-10 Blazer - I sat about 3" lower to the floor with the Grand Am seats, but they were MUCH more comfortable. Fabbed brackets, shifted the whole mounting assembly back about 4"..... and looked through the rear side panel glass when looking left. You guys should have seen the looks I used to get when I'd creep up to a light, and nobody could see me in the driver's seat, I was so far back and down!
