reedal's '03 Tahoe build

[reedal]

Damp pro B-stock and Overkill Pro on the floors. Gonna keep piecing the scraps throughout on the bare spots tomorrow.



Three sheets of Luxury Liner Pro cut to size/shape.



after that I put the (unfortunately) old carpet back in. So the front half of the floor is done. Tomorrow I'll cut the other three sheets of LLP to shape for the back half and lay the carpet back down. Put the door panels back up with some scraps of CCF/MLV attached after that, and begin to re-run the wires that go under the carpet before I put the seats and trim panels back in. Maybe I'll have it done by the weekend. My leave is up, so I'll only get to work on it in the evenings after work, and it gets dark quick. Thanks for looking

Looks good man. Hope those trim pieces snap back in with that extra deadener. Should be a quieter ride for sure.

I was thinking the same thing.

I don't think it's gonna be too bad snapping them back into place. I do need to grab some new clips though. Some of the older ones have a little too much wiggle in them

Got the back half of the lux pro and carpet put in.



theres a considerable height difference in between the top of the carpet and Base of that ring, probably about 3/4".

I don't see the plastic trim for the 3rd row feet to latch into clipping back in. But I hope I'm wrong. Please tell me I'm wrong

It did. I can snap a picture tomorrow, I'm stuck on the ship for duty today :/

On a side note, I have new rear coil springs, bilstein 5100's front and rear, idler and pitman arms, front wheel bearings, and Moog upper and lower CA's (decided the coilover swap Atomic offers just wasn't for me at this time), and tie rods. I've never swapped any of that out myself before, but if I'm able to do it myself I'd like to. Any thoughts on what I can and can't do myself? I've got a floor jack, jack stands, and a ton of tools, and I like doing the work myself, I've just never done those things or seen it done before. Thanks in advance. What I can't do, my brother in-law works at a local shop and can put it on the lift, but I like free labor (me) better, ya know?

@05Single here ya go.




Now, it doesn't sit flat on the bars, but it still "locks" into place and doesn't pop off. But if it didn't, I wouldn't mind anyways because there will be a sub enclosure covering the rear area up anyways.

I know the front carpet is supposed to tuck under the beginning of the rear carpet normally, but I'm going to do it this way instead in order to meet my needs
