My '02 LS TB came with an ALUMINIUM spare wheel.* When checking salvage yards do not forget to look underneath all the GM 360s in the lot. More time and work, but you will have a much better look than generic steelies IMO. * It is painted black and does not match the other wheels. What was...

My '02 TB came with color matched door molding. No ugly black scar on the side AND protection from other people's doors in parking lots. Not as sleek a look as no molding at all but a practical compromise IMO.

Please correct me if I am not understanding you correctly. You stand close enough to your TB that you can touch the truck and instead of putting the key in the key hole and opening the door you keep pressing the button on the fob when it does not open the first time?

eXplicit 1, you must be psychic. My part time job IS at an auto trim (upholstery, convertible tops, headliners, & vinyl tops) shop! At first glance the Nissan Juke seats look pretty funny. Then you realize somebody paid good money for that job and then you stop laughing. Sometimes we use...

:iagree: IMO it all comes down to how much you are paying for the new seats in the wrong color. Buying additional seats and having all of them re-upholstered sounds like the most expensive way to go to me. Having just your existing front seats re-bolstered & recovered is the middle ground...

If you are willing to go to the trouble and expense of having the new seats reupholstered why not just have your old seats reupholstered? Are we talking about a short wheelbase, only two rows of seating TB? The back seats are quite easy to remove. Fold the seats down and you will see all you...

No, not nearly so much work. The foam and seat cover are attached to a sheetmetal tray. The tray has a huge hole in it and a few wires and springs span the hole. That is all you will be taking to the upholstery shop. Unplugging the seat heater and removing the four nuts I mentioned will...

How much work can you do yourself? At my part time job the more work you do the less we charge. Even taking the seat out of the Envoy and putting it back in yourself will save you some money. Just repairing the seat cushion but not the backrest? I have good news for you. If you have a 18mm...

My part time job is at an auto upholstery shop. Do you want a whole set of covers OR just replace one or two torn/ damaged pieces? Katzkin or a company called Roadware (maybe Roadwire?) sell complete sets - usually thru local auto upholstery shops or car dealers. Available in any color or...

Can you buy just the tip for less than $140 ? Since you are friends with the guy at the muffler shop and he is going to have to adapt the adapter why not have him bend a correct pipe and either flare or neck down only once?

I was wrong. I tatally missed which direction The Gambler was comming from. I have a two or three NAPA tools and they are of high quality. Now days the Napa stores near me carry very, very few tools. They assume professional mechanics buy Snap-On, Mac or Matco and DIYers shop at Sears...

:iagree: Bscfrank914 your idea - as desirable as it is - is going to require you to scrap the TB seats and replace them with with something that was originally designed to be cooled. Have you considered 1) Your seats move. PVC or fiberglass duct work with some sort of flexible joint/...

You might have a bill from your insurance company somewhere in your house. Most likely it has your VIN on it and your address matches the one on your driver's license. You should bee able to convince the dealer you are not payiing for insurance on a vehicle you do not own.

On the OS is a very detailed thread with lots of clear pic by someone who swapped his cloth covers for leather. It is not a sticky over there and it is several years old so it may take some time to find. From the dealer, a new cushion foam is at least $100. You may be surprised at what a...

Some times there is more to a battery than its CCA or how much you paid for it. I have never been any place that was not within a reasonable distance of a Sears if you need a warrenty replacement. They always check the charging system for free. Sears is open evenings, weekends, and holidays...
