Hey everyone,

I'm in the process of purchasing a 2018 tahoe rst premier. GM doesn't offer the seating arrangements that i require so im looking into swapping out the front center console for a jump seat and adding a jump seat between the second row captains chairs. Any info or links on completing this would be greatly appreciated!

Look in the classified for a Silverado jump seat and try and find someone to swap captain chairs for their 60/40 split bench. Worth a shot.

This is exactly what I would do...  So I take it the Tahoe RST can't be ordered with a 60/40 split bench seat for the 2nd row?  That's weird if that's the case...

 

There are a few 2nd row 60/40 split bench seats available on eBay for a decent price:

Just keep a look out and you should be able to find something that works for what you need.

Yes this would be the way to go! There is no way you could put a truck jump seat between the captains chairs that wouldn't completely ridicules! imo. If you need that much room it almost sounds like you should have gotten a Suburban or an XL.

Here is an 18 silverado jump seat in my 18 suburban. Ebony leather and stiching in upper match perfectly - the lower cloth part matches carpet behind seats so it all does tie in pretty well. Best part - usable cup holders! I may get leather cover for seat portion, but I only have 2 kids, and there is still the 3rd row. You do have to remove armrests for it to fit. Kids love it... 5861322e1423f603ed64242851c1f6e3.jpg7a700a051adc3c3fef51e91457a4e3c3.jpg3d689dd5bb9cf79ef1ada80c19e5edde.jpg

So is there a way to secure this or is it just sitting there?

Working on it. Got floor brackets in yesterday, and will do a custom bottom attachment to raise it up a bit off the plastic. The front hump is wider so I plan to shape it a little...e50a989d5bb1f5273751850f1770028e.jpgda250ddf11f9f8f5f1a991b8791fce12.jpg

So great to see something other than replacing the captain seats with a bench!

Update on the jump seat installation? I have been looking into adding another seat and would like to do something similar in our 2017 suburban.

Nice! I am liking this upgrade.  I am moving from my old 1990 Suburban to a 2016 or so Yukon XL Denali soon, and I was thinking I would miss the 2nd row bench sometimes.  This is a great way to have it all.  Looking forward to any updates on the install.  I thank you in advance for saving me the trouble of debugging the details.

Done. I used some granite counter brackets and some tab bolts from a nerf bar install kit. Very sturdy now and storage in both upper console, behind cupholders, and under seat. Has a lap belt too. Going to be an arm rest with 3 cup holders 95٪ of the time, but you never know when you need an 8th spot...92e26a6c7567ec0be4b230dfe1849a0f.jpg1183d14e9a3cbce8efcfaf83d903989d.jpg40ee00769edc097172595ce987950a09.jpg

Awesome Job Texas Daddy. Do you have a video or details of how it's been done? I am trying to do it by myself. Is it a jump seat of Sierra? Do i need to drill the floor to attach the granite counter brackets?

Question about the install.  I have ordered a jump seat/console for my 2nd row to sit between the 2 bucket seats.  Did you drill holes in the bucket seat mounting bracket (painted black) on the floor?  Mine has one hole in the vicinity of your mounting bracket, and I am wondering if you used it, or did you drill new ones?  Also, it appears you did not go through the floor of the vehicle, is that correct?  Other than the 4 mounting brackets, did you secure it any other way to the vehicle body?

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
