Actually, this may help too. The highlighted parts are what have to be removed.

So I decided to peek inside the the top of the jumper seat today and I snapped some pictures for you guys. Here is my piece of the puzzle.   It looks like the lower portion of the arm rest h

I purchased the upper part of the armrest from the dealer for $490 Cdn$.  The bottom part apparently is multiple part and was super expensive (i think about $1000).   Anyways, it was a bit of wor

I will give a summary of what I did.  Not being mechanical at all, it wasn't easy but very doable.    The first step was to take the plastic side panels off the console.  Right off the bat,

Just adding that I ordered my center console upgrade per Jeffed's part number and it should arrive in a week. Paid $355 with tax. Will update once it arrives.

Ok...got the arm rest in and it is the correct item. Thanks Jeffed.

 

Also talked to my Rockwall Texas Chevy dealer...they are going to put these in all the customs now as an easy addition.

Wanted to thank everyone for the solution to the NO STORAGE CENTER CONSOLE issue on the new 2019 Trail Boss Custom.  The change over to the new top part (arm rest) of the console with the storage took about an 1 1/2 and wasn't difficult.  The only issue issue I had was the retaining clips that hold the 2 side panels on the arm rest need to be removed and transferred over to the new one and when pulling them off the clips stay in the armrest and bend the locking tabs.  Others have mentioned buying new clips and I would agree with that.  If you don't want to visit the dealer, any auto parts store, Advance, OReilly's etc. carry ones that work just fine, Dorman part number 963-211D.  Even though none of the websites show an image of the new armrest with storage, the part number given by others (84647286) was correct and the color and look match perfectly to the old one.

 

So again, thanks for posting the solution and the pdf parts diagram helped a lot.

No I wish I had you unbolt the seat but you don’t need to remove it all the way.  Then remove the plastic around the console to remove two bolts then one on the other side and a small one then swap out and put back together.  Remember  to get the extra clips you will need them.  If you start the swap and don’t have them you will get mad at your self so just buy them you will see.

anybody know for sure if this will work on the standard Custom model, not just the trailboss?  Just picked mine up last week and the lack of center console storage is mind boggling, but I want to be sure its the same part before I take the plunge

      Light Up the Trail From Above: 50" PRO for the Hummer EV

      By mandrautomotive · Posted

      Hey everyone,   For anyone looking at roof-mounted lighting for the Hummer EV, we wanted to share our M&R Automotive 50" PRO Roof Light Bar for the 2022+ GMC Hummer EV.   The curved 50" bar sits close to the windshield rather than sticking way up above the roofline. The mounting position is designed to keep the setup relatively streamlined while minimizing wind noise and maintaining full use of the factory windshield wipers.   A few details:   50" curved PRO light bar Fits 2022–2026 GMC Hummer EV Spot + driving beam pattern TIR optics White main beam Amber DRL backglow Approximately 15,410 measured lumens through the lens Mounts to factory accessory locations No cutting or drilling required Wiring runs down the A-pillar toward the AUX connections Designed to minimize wind noise Lifetime warranty Off-road use only     The 50" is an interesting middle ground for anyone who wants the visibility and mounting position of a roof bar without stepping all the way up to the larger 60" setup. For the Hummer EV owners here, would you go with the 50" for the lower-profile look or step up to the full 60"?

      Yeah, I've given up years ago with that! I was able to load a few when I first joined the site sometime around '07. Then after maybe 20 pics, it said I exceeded the limit. Now every pic I try to post says I've "exceeded 1mb".   ONE MB??? That's Windows 95 ******, lol!!

      I get the same results with pictures. Then I figure it out. Then I forget. Screw it.

      I guess I'm the only one on this forum who can't get effing pics to load here! Do you have to resize them to post, or am I just blocked from uploads?   I have the same luck with automotive electronics ... but this is the ONLY site on the net that I have this problem!   I'd post pics of what I'm working on ... but I CAN'T! 🤬       Just fabbed up the kickdown cable (had to extend the cable mount WAAAY out from the throttle shaft to get a full pull), and parts arrived for the fuel lines on the 940 carb conversion project. Should be able to drive this thing by the end of the day. If not for work, I'd have had this thing done SIX weeks ago.   Got the jetting sorted out last week. Had a real bad tip-in bog that I couldn't seem to correct. Friggin float height was over 11mm too HIGH! eBay purchase, so no wonder everything is screwed up right out of the box! I ended up with a larger dual-squirt accelerator pump jet anyway instead of the single. Also moved the 70 primary idle jet (4 sizes too big out of the box) to the secondary idle circuit, and installed a 57 in the primary. Runs great on the fuel bottle!    Still using the computer for ignition. Going to drive it first and see if I want to go through the project of installing an intermediate shaft with a distributor drive gear, so I can install a block-mounted distributor and run points, 100% computer free. I should do that anyway just from a simplicity / reliability / tunability standpoint. The electronics left me stranded last year a couple times! I can't tweak the timing to my liking right now because of the computer. Tried twisting the cam-driven distributor already ... and the damned thing just reverts back to where it was! That's infuriating. But if it runs well enough I might save that for next season.   Just driving it in and out of the shop to work on other projects, it feels 1,000% more responsive with the carburetor. Also fires MUCH faster when cranking. Can't wait to drive it and see if I got more than 114 ponies, lolol.   Hopefully these don't go 404 like the last post ... https://postimg.cc/gallery/MjhrmZS   Seems like that site went back to dial-up internet! Maybe they'll fix that some day ...
