Point S took over Tire Factory shops in the PNW area but did not know they reached up to Alaska.

Which Kenwood did you go with? Mine is the DDX6706S. You might be able to load pictures through the usb.

I have never heard of it, Gary must have used them. Now I got to find out where that is.

I got the backup camera wiring routed and installed, the rear sub replaced, and the running board light installed and wired. Forgot to take pictures so I will have to do that another day. Also found 2 more speakers in the rear pillars and got those ordered.

The radio and speaker install is 100%. Sorry I forgot to take pictures.
Used these tweeters in the back piller https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500SS10TW/Alpine-S-S10TW.html
This as the rear 8" woofer replacement https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500S2W8D2/Alpine-S2-W8D2.html, its not a direct fit and I should have bought the 4ohm + 4 ohm as the stock is a 2 ohm and not 4ohm.
I installed these in the front and rear doors as shown above a few posts back. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500S2S65C/Alpine-S2-S65C.html

The result is a really nice sounding system. When listening to 70s rock, you can here the pick hit the guitar string now.

Thank you, the sound is amazing now compared to before. Next up is seat covers I think.

You could post a video with samples of the sound.

I will give that a try with my phone and see if it can record good enough, I buy cheap phones.

Installed Rough County seat covers in the Yukon today. Needed a modification for the power seats, and I will use the leftovers from the jump seat to make armrest covers later.

I will recover the drivers seat someday! But I did pull off all that added tape before installing.

One more set of RC seat covers to add to this Yukon, but you will have to wait for that post.

Did a full LOF and a transmission service on the Yukon last night. Used Mobil1 5w30 full synthetic and a Wix 51042xp filter for oil, Amsoil arctic red grease for lube, and Valvoline Dexron VI full synthetic and a Wix 58847 filter for the trans. Also replaced the pigtail for the drivers side fog lights since it was missing when I got it.

Did some detailing tonight until my back got to sore. The steamer and carpet cleaner really helps deep clean.Steamer is a McCulloch MC1375

Yukon got new shoes! These wheels are not a direct fit!

Had a rear brake caliper get sticky and eat up a brake pad. Lots of parts on order now because I was stupid and put those 16inch rims on that didn't fit right. Because i super sanded the caliper to make them fit I would need to do that again to new ones, so 17inch rims and tires, new rotors calipers and pads are heading my way. Will post picks when I get them on. These are the wheels I picked and my wife liked. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/VSW-S1738

I hate being stupid!
