So I had to drive my mom back and forth to AirPod twice last week. I was NOT a happy camper. She flew home from the east coast seeing our family last Thursday and landed at LAX at 9:15pm.... which meant that’s e didn’t leave the airport til after 10 and then had to drive back up the Mountain. Then did at she flew out to Hawaii to meet up with a good friend of ours, and she waited til the very last minute and asked me to drive her so I had to change my Sunday plans. Irritating. But at any rate she flew out of Ontario airport and there’s an LKQ yard like three blocks form there. So I went in and dicked around for a couple hours and then headed to my sisters house a half hour away in riverside. My passenger side turn signal is doing some very strange things and I have a feeling it might be the clockspring going bad.... I was originally thinking to pull one and I almost did, but in these loaded trucks you gotta fish all the wires out that go to the steering wheel controls and such. I decided when I can verify with my tech2 that it is indeed the clockspring causing my issue, then I only wanna do that work once and it will be with a brand new part. I didn’t want to chance the clockspring in the Denali I found being bad and having to pull it all apart twice so I didn’t grab the clockspring. However, my steering column covers had some broken tabs and it was all janky and ghetto looking. Luckily the Denali I was in and the same interior color as mine so I pulled the steering column covers, the lower plastic trim off the drivers seat, and the drivers door sill, as both of those pieces from my truck had broken mounting tabs. I also ended up pulling the rear bumper cover. Mine is pretty sad... lol
The original steering column cover on my truck... as you can see it’s pretty bad...

Did you pull the steering wheel to removed the column covers ? Also I put 2 screws at the bottom of mine in the Tahoe . Keeps the covers tight and less chance of moving around. Also crackhead thieves can’t tear it apart if they want to.

I need to do the two screws in the bottom. And yeah I pulled the steering wheel. I’ve pulled it a few times now and it’s super easy to pull off.

Oh , well you can remove them with steering wheel intact. Just more of a pita lol

All polished up and ceramic coated ready to go! Got the back sides cleaned and coated and took the additional step to coat inside the lug nut holes before they got mounted so that the finish will stay better protected.

Surprised that you didn’t use the seatbelts on the wheels to keep them from sliding into each other! Nice find and great pics! Wheels look great on your truck too!!

I’d have broken them if I tried it that way so I didn’t even bother. Lol. It’s easy enough to pull the airbag and the wheel so I didn’t even think twice.

That first pic in the tailgate was when I got them home and had taken stuff out but I wedged a couple small things in between each wheel and each of the outer edges so they actually stayed in place perfectly driving up the mountain lol.
and thanks! I’m stoked cuz I love them!
