2 Door Tahoe Makeover Part 2 (Interior Cleaning Part 1 of 2)

[@TheWalterHWhite]

For large carpet like this, one of the best way to clean it is the remove the whole carpet, and find a way to suspend it. Then liberally soak every inch in a degreaser, and then pressure wash it. Rinse wash repeat. Be amazed how well it works!

[@TWAMotorsports]

I have done that in the past and its suck a pain but does work well

[@96jayofficial]

Sucks to see how many of these trucks' interiors get messed up over the years. My pops bought his 97' in November of 96' with 3miles on it, sold it to me in 2005 and the only reason i'm watching this videos is to see how to remove seats to do a carpet cleaning. On the other note beautiful 2 door man! congratulations on owning her i hope she lasts you many years to come 👏🏽

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yeah it does. I actually sold this unfortunately

[@mcbridemotorsports5788]

First time I used my drill brush I was amazed at how well it breaks up all the crap in a carpet. I need/want to get an extractor also. Chemical Guys makes some great products as well.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yes they work awesome

[@ThePryapizmC]

I've always just taken them completely out and hit it with about a half a gallon of purple power and a pressure washer....comes out great every time

[@TWAMotorsports]

That seems to be a common thing. I have done that in the past

[@nathankaganac]

For the carpet ?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yes

[@nathankaganac]

@@TWAMotorsports ohh okay thank you

[@TWAMotorsports]

@nathankaganac 👌

[@bthivierge]

Loving this project Trav. I just did a search on Auto Tempest for RWD Tahoes and returned 133 in the whole country. Exactly 0 of those were 2 door. You officially own a unicorn...

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. They are rare

[@B2sdad512]

Love your channel and your attention to detail/OCD! I am the same way in my garage! Keep up the great work Sir! I am so jealous of that 2 door Tahoe, I have always wanted one of those.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Sometimes my ocd makes me crazy lol

[@kluge4206]

Well worth pulling the carpet out,I soaked mine in bleach and mr. Clean, then car washed it until the water coming out was pretty clean,come out really well except for some of the worn spots

[@TWAMotorsports]

You used bleach? That didn't remove the color?!

[@chriswinkler8231]

I’m just jealous how easy it is for him to get the bolts out.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Lol. Sometimes they are a pain

[@donmcfly_]

love watching videos like these, these are amazing. gonna do this to my 99 tahoe!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you

[@anthonyserrano9029]

Salute! Thats a nice truck! I own a 95 2door also. But no barn doors. And Burgundy interior. Gota keep them alive. Awsome trucks. 👍😎

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. I do love the looks

[@diegoh3713]

Nice video again! Watching From Houston, Tx hope you keep that Tahoe , I say put some baby billets to give it that 90s feel and vibe to it after all the bodywork transformation can’t wait

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Don't know about baby billets though

[@LeahBbyCksPrice]

That's exactly what I'm trying to accomplish my self when I finally find one of these gems.

[@refugiolopez6194]

Love that Tahoe!!!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Me too. Thank you

[@howdy4596]

I love the 2 doors but not fond of the barn doors.

[@djblack67]

I took everything out except driver seat with loose bolts. Unbolted seat at car wash and sprayed soap on carpet and did a thorough rinse making sure i didnt spray anything except carpet. Drove home and let it dry in sun. Living in the south, it took a day for everything to dry. Looked almost new when done and no mold smell or anything. The floor is painted so no worry on future rust since it dried in a day or 2

[@TWAMotorsports]

Not a bad idea.

[@travissangster1186]

great truck and awesome name

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thanks 👍

[@dannyh998]

Maybe you can pull the carpet out and pressure wash it, works great for me. I love the Tahoe I have been looking forever for a 2wd so hard to find.

[@TWAMotorsports]

It's such a mess to do that or I would

[@Barts-Builds]

You have gotta put a hardwood floor in the back. Me and a buddy did it in his 96 yukon and it turned out great!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Not a bad idea but probably stick with carpet

[@Superkid778]

Good job cleaning that beast!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Just getting started

[@Superkid778]

TWA Motorsports welcome👍🏻

[@uhmeizuhngralphf0549]

Good job I love these 2 Tahoes they are so fast for a truck

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Not fast but cool to look at.

[@diegoh3713]

And you should do a video on electric window conversion on the Sierra! I Have a 02 Silverado stepside with chingalewindows too hahaha

[@TWAMotorsports]

Maybe one day I will

[@Operator-fq2fn]

Its all plug and play i went to the junk yard and took the doors off a Tahoe

[@SpyroRoar]

Ernesto Paz Did you take the whole harness that runs under the dash for the windows or where did you plug the new harness for the doors to?

[@johnkeith3731]

Just found your channel a couple weeks ago. Love the videos great content brother! My wife suggest trying a magic eraser pad on the panels. We have used them and found them to work great.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you John. I will try that next time.

[@eddiemelz5706]

A little tlc she needed nice bro

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you

[@urbantoyz261]

Do u have video it finished with new seats and carpet ??

[@TWAMotorsports]

Nope. Sold it

[@howdy4596]

Had to watch this have a 99 2 door as well and I'm doing the same thing. Only difference is I don't have barn doors.

[@TWAMotorsports]

They are neat rides.

[@TheNewkidsrule]

Does the back seat inter change with a center row from a suburban

[@TWAMotorsports]

I don't think so

[@BIGMACB0Y]

was it the same 15mm for the back seats also to be removed??

[@TWAMotorsports]

Been a while but I think so

[@andyacosta1985]

Coming along yup cant wait

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Me neither

[@ryanrodgers4126]

Did you ever replace the carpet? I have 96 Tahoe with same color and looking to buy replacement but unsure of correct color. Medium beige?

[@TWAMotorsports]

I didn't

[@leemp337]

why are you sending to the upholster and not using new seat covers from The Seat Shop? are you going custom? or is there something i don't know about seat covers?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Seat shop doesn't make covers for 88-98

[@angelramos0299]

Did the center glove box thing beside the front seats come with the truck I’m missing those on mine

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yes it did

[@eliazarnavarro1182]

I have a 1997 yukon...it needed alot of work when I got it...but with the carpet...I just took it all out and took it to the car wash...sprayed some engine cleaner on it then I washed it off and it come out looking like a new carpet...and it was really dirty

[@TWAMotorsports]

I have done that before too.

[@wroman786]

Great work ! Looking 100 times better already. Looking forward on seeing this build threw.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. I love this kinda of detail stuff

[@lj6278]

Great video, always enjoy them, I have a 97 two door. careful on removing the trim some of them are unique to the two door. don't ask me how I know. looking forward to more.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. I have been very careful because they are brittle

[@hieniocandia8668]

Just found your channel today. I own two of these but both with tailgates. I have seen other videos where they can open the barn doors further if you need it by unlatching the black bars in the door jamb. Just an fyi

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yeah they can go WAY open

What type of steamer do you have

[@Daylncrew]

What tools did you use to take out the back seats

[@TWAMotorsports]

18mm I think

[@slt2239]

Question, why did you choose to clean the carpet as opposed to replace it?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Wanted to try my new cleaner lol

[@scoutdonovan6163]

Hey there! I also own a '99 2-door Tahoe, and I am looking to build it out for car camping. I am trying to design it to utilize as much space as possible, I was wondering how easy it was to take out the seats and to put them back in. If I were to do that every, say 6 months, would that be too much of a hassle in your opinion? Or was it relatively easy o hassle-free (ish)? :)

[@TWAMotorsports]

Not super easy to do quickly

[@HunterHumphreys]

Need some help. I have an 03 Silverado (hoping the same issues with my truck are similar to your Tahoe). Took the seats out a while ago, (replaced middle console) then I put them back in. All manual seats so only plug-in was the airbag sensors. I’m getting airbag sensor displayed on my dash but the wires are all connected back to the seats. Implugged battery for 10-15 mins (didn’t work). Any thoughts?

[@TWAMotorsports]

No idea as I have not had that issue

I was gonna steam clean my carpet too but I ended up jus buying new pre molded carpet and installing it myself wasn't that hard either

[@TWAMotorsports]

That's coming on this one too

[@MegaWolfman76]

Since you already have the seats in the console and everything out I've seen a lot of them KZbinrs also take the carpets out completely and hit him with a pressure washer and they actually come out quite clean you could probably try that with some good detergent soap for some like laundry soap for some that's a stain remover I would recommend like era or tie-dye no era as a nice fruity smell to the the material

[@TWAMotorsports]

Still more to do but maybe

[@lottie141516]

I bet it is also rusty underneath the carpet and underneath the padding and you’re probably sucking some of that rust up too. Also just using straight up Windex and then rinsing stuff off might’ve worked better than hot water

[@TWAMotorsports]

Probably so.

Are you doin the carpet install after all? I need to do mine but wanna wait until you do yours so I can see how it’s done 😂

You should use APC and degreaser with the steam cleaner to get really good results Also try mr. clean magic sponge on the plastic pieces with APC For the carpet, check out Stuffer’s garage channel or detail geek’s channel and see that they use for their carpets. A car shouldn’t take you more than 4-5 hours (with the right tools and products) Finally, your carpet is fine. It will clean up fine

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you for the advise. I will try some of those products

Pressure washer on the carpet should do the trick with the correct cleaner. Pulling it out of the truck of course lol
