Last night I re-did the wiring and cabling on my dual battery setup. For those interested here's the post.

http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/my-dual-battery-writeup.86230/page-2#post-1039953

The short version is this: The way I crimped the cables was incorrect and potentially dangerous, so I found someone who had the correct crimping tool and some shrink tubing and I made properly crimped (and safe) cables.

Next step will be running 10g wire to the rear driver's side wheelwell cover to put in a 12v power connector for the fridge. Hope to do that this weekend.

I installed a 3rd row in my 01 Tahoe. Took about 2 hours. Found an exact interior match. No factory 3rd row with my barn doors but all the holes were in the floor for the brackets to bolt on. Leaves very little cargo room but I have a pickup for that. Seats $100, brackets $85 that came with the wrong size bolts so another $15 from the hardware store for bolts and washers. I read a few posts that said 3rd rows won't fit in barn door Tahoes....they fit fine.

I have plenty of room under the seats, even folded down. My kids are gargantuan (son is 15 today, and is 6'2, 350 lbs, daughter is 13, and is 5'11"), so I had to move the rear seats back - made some brackets to move them back 2 1/2", and raised them up about 1/2" in the process. Gave me enough clearance for the amp and inverter. I actually have enough room if I should want to add a 4-channel amp for the doors.

Big kids! I have the opposite problem. Wife is tiny, my step daughters are very little and can hardly get into my Jeep and its only on 32" tires

Curious about how that bracket was made. Do you have any pictures?

Little gratuitous shot! :boobs:IMAG0736.jpg

They were actually very simple, I've had to do it for almost every vehicle I've ever had (as I'm (was) 6'7... I've already shrunk a little bit).

For these. I just used a piece of 1/4" thick 2" wide steel bar stock. Cut the stock into pieces 3 1/2" long, and drilled hole 2 1/2" apart. Bolted them all down onto the factory studs in the floor, after securing bolts sticking up in the other hole. Basically, I just offset the mounts 2 1/2" to the rear.

And on another note, my replacement sub came TODAY, didn't expect it until Monday. Already replaced the blown one, and ran it for about a half hour. It's amazing how a good box can sound. Listened to some Stone Sour, was blown away by the accuracy of the tens, and how low they played with some Eminem....:head3::head3::rocking::rocking::rockit::rockit:
