Man I wish I could track down the info, but there was a company that made jump seats for GMT400 Hoes. I had one my 00. It was rear facing and sat an extra two people. I used it once when I was picking up some friends from the airport. They thought it was pretty cool loading in through the barn door lol.

Nice lookin Tahoe for sure. Nice to see on in good shape. Test your fuel pressure, those vortecs can be finicky if they dont just have enough psi.

Wow, not much space behind there, huh?

What are you going to do for the outboard seatbelts?

plenty of leg room and about as much space behind as any of the late model Tahoe’s and Yukon’s.

For outboard belts I’m gonna get a set of belts from a Jeep and do lap belts. I’ve got the OEM belts from a Burb but if I can make lap belts work it’ll be a LOT less fabrication lol

What kind of lights vs stock , looks, performance, both? Cost, ease of install, wiring concerns, upgrades. That kind of stuff.
I got the lights on eBay...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HOUS...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Over the years I've run a few sets of these on a few different trucks and performance is pretty good. Probably slightly above stock as far as light output because of the clear lenses. Just gotta make sure and silicone around housing to ensure no moisture gets in. Cost is pretty minimal if you shop around for the right set. Install is a breeze as they are a direct replacement for the stock lights with no need of modifying anything including no wiring needed for this.

With that said, I will be doing the "four corner mod" which means I will be adding another set of corner pigtails to the corner lights so that all four corner illuminate rather than just the bottom two when the parking lights are on. That's mainly for looks so no real performance added there. I just got the pigtails from LMC while I was there getting some other things.

Looks like you found a nice one. I really want another 400 but finding a decent one is so hard. I'm not much of an SUV guy either so that limits my options. I did find my old 98 on facespace market last summer but I missed out on getting it back by 2 hrs and $2000 :(

Yeah, I'm more of a truck guy. My next GMT400 will be a crew cab shortbed truck but as you know those are hard to find in good shape so this one will do for the time being :) Anything I buy also needs to fit all 6 of us (hence the third row mod). When I sold my 2003 I needed to get something quick because the 2003 sold MUCH faster than I ever thought it would. So I was scouring the net focusing mostly on GMT400's and squares. This is the cleanest one available at a good price so I nabbed it. I had a 99 Denali several years ago and loved it so I knew I'd like this one. It drives almost identical to what the Denali did and cannot complain with where it's at mechanically. It's almost flawless in that respect especially considering it has 220k on it. All it needs right now is an idler arm. I've got the part now. I just need to find the time to do the job and it'll 100%.

Cob is a person, not a thing. So it would be "Oh **** he's a hoe".
We DON'T allow him to advertise here though. Only in the "personals" section on Craigslist.
