Good to know that weather tech is worth the bux and live up to the hype. My Burb has the factory carpet strip mat on the second row floor, and cheap rubber mats in the foot wells front and second row. I took the third seat out early on, cause I needed the full cargo area. This Burb was initially intended for swap meets, and the 06 Denali was supposed to be the daily driver. Funny how things work out sometimes....
My Burb's cargo area has a carpet mat in it(factory I think, some stuff was moved over from the other 99 Burb we had that got totalled). On top of that is a sheet of Masonite, cut to fit. Makes it lots easier to slide boxes in and out. I keep a couple of big cardboard sheets in the back too, to cover stuff up. The sheets between layers of case pack bottled water are great for this! You can get them at the grocery store or wholesale club, and they are free. Good for oil changes and other under car stuff too!

Yes when my truck was stripped theres so much room between the 2nd row and rear door

I heard that! I was trying to preserve my factory cargo mat, but decided to to take the Suburban to go get some gas for my mower this past summer and turned into my neighborhood to hard on my way back! Long story short, ruined my cargo mat...and I didn't think that I'd ever get the smell of gas out of there.

Sharp 'burb, it's the sister to my GMC, color/wheels/drivetrain!

I've been considering the rear Weathertech mat for the cargo area. I'm a Husky Weatherbeater man, and they don't have anything for the GMT400's anymore.

I did a full audio upgrade with Kenwood 6.5s in the doors and a new double din HU, added an amp and 12" sub in the back, clear crisp highs, and nice lows.

I'm about to pick up some H2 wheels and trying to decide if I want to size up to 285s or not, biggest issue would be my front splash guards that required trimming with the 265s.

I keep my gas can in a milk crate, it's more stable that way.

I've been reading up on installing a Double DIN radio and it doesn't appear to be as 'complicated' as I thought it would be. Those H2 rims are nice. I've been searching for some for the Burb, but no luck as of yet.
