Just noticed this Chuck. Having built mine and installed other subwoofer boxes, I am nearly positive that the rear floor, seats, and mid-gate are identical in all Avalanches.

I did a little more mods to the husky storage unit. So now it has a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, glow in the dark rope, fold-able shovel, mag-lite (LED) flash light, dead-on annihilator multi tool, and a hatchet. i also have a blanket & gloves (not pictured). its one of my favorite mods i did to my truck because you can customize it any way you want.


I hate things moving or rattling in my truck so everything is secured down (bolted) with quickfists. the rope and first aid kit are secured with heavy duty velcro. the quickfists are great they hold things very tightly and securely. God forbid an accident happens you dont want those things flying like projectiles hurting you or a passenger.


Waiting on a few things to come in the mail i will post more pics once everything comes in  >:D

I got the same ones. They are pretty bright, and decent for the price.

My only problem is that the mounting pins were made fairly loose, and they didn't want to seat in the holes.

Also, I adjusted them as far down as I could and they WOULD NOT line up...

Mine are aimed too high, and I wish I could do something to fix them..

To look at them, they are blinding, but it doesn't reflect as much in the light output.

Still good output, just not compared to how hard they are on the eyes.
 
Yeah the mounting pins are very weak & they are blinding. I only use them when I'm going down a dark road like my truck is lifted I turn them off If I see another vehicle coming.

Future mods:

Black door handles (in garage just have to install them)
Bed rug (in the garage as well lol just have to install it)
U bar headlights
50" putco curved led light bar (roof)
Hornblasters train horn
Dual batteries

 
looking good (y)
