Still playing around with the exterior. Added traction bars, some new trim and emblems. Also slowly getting the interior ideas flowing.

**71blksuper4x4** · 07-11-2022, 09:51 PM

Added GM bed rail covers. Previous owner had drilled a couple holes in the rails.

Spent a Saturday a couple weeks back in northern Missouri pulling Escalade Platinum seats and interior wiring& BCM . I am going to try to get the heated/cooled seats and cooled cup holders working, and get the seats redone.

**71blksuper4x4** · 07-11-2022, 10:02 PM

From bringing it home May 2021, until around the 4th of July 2022.

**cst204x4** · 09-30-2022, 10:43 PM

Nice, I did the hood/grille swap on my 04 looks so much better

LT7A · 10-02-2023, 11:30 PM

Truck looks great. I think they called that color electron blue on the 2000 Corvette. I'm curious about the M/T Alcoa wheels. I've seen some old M/T wheels that look like that but nothing current. And the Alcoas all seem to be for big trucks.

**71blksuper4x4** · 10-03-2023, 10:48 PM

The Mickey Thompson Challenger wheels that are on the truck were discontinued in the early 2000’s. It was a short partnership with Alcoa to produce these along with the traditional bullet hole wheels. The 8 lug version is less common, and was only made in 16x7 and 16x8.

**71blksuper4x4** · 10-03-2023, 10:57 PM

Finally got all my wiring dissected and ran for the interior. Switched my tan interior out for the Very Dark Pewter. Also switched the dashboard for an Escalade dashboard and dyed it to match. Lastly, got my heated/cooled seats (front & rear), heated/cooled cupholders, and Katzkins installed. Went with the newer Denali Ultimates for the interior inspiration. Still waiting on my Console lid to get reupholstered.

**biketopia** · 10-04-2023, 09:12 AM

Dang....that looks freaking great!!!

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-26-2023, 01:38 AM

Finally got my 2002 Escalade console lid upholstered and put back together. I went with the 2002 version because of the locking feature and the hidden compartment. I added an Amazon charge pad that fits that spot well.

LT7A · 11-27-2023, 08:28 AM

That came out nice.

**71blksuper4x4** · 02-12-2024, 12:13 AM
