I drove a 2002 suburban for 6 years and only just retired it a little over a year ago. If I had my way I'd drive it for another 10 years, but sadly the rust was finally getting to the frame. Mine had those flaps to cover the footwell and they were very useful when folding down the middle row for cargo or traveling with dogs! That suburban was the most functional and useful vehicle I've ever driven. Newer vehicles really can't compete for quality and function.
Little backyard mechanic trick for cars that the support "arms" won't keep the trunk open is to use vise grips right under the black part of the arm. That'll keep it from falling on you without having to use a random bar that might fall down.
Your videos on older cars have really made me appreciate them a lot. It’s incredible how great a car can look just by taking care of it however long its lifespan.
Agreed 👍🏽
The GMT800 series of vehicles are some of the best vehicles EVER built by any manufacturer. 18 years have passed since they ceased building this platform and there are still hundreds of thousands if not millions still on the road. 05 Cadillac Escalade ESV owner here. Love the video on this big ole Burb!
Having owned and/or worked on several of these trucks over the years, it's safe to say that the engineers' wives didn't cheat on them with a mechanic, because they're not horrible to work on.
Still daily my 2002 suburban just hit 205,000 miles from Texas
I think the carpet on the doors is for people like me that like to kick their door open when getting out…prevents scuff marks on the plastic paneling. Either way, another great video Mitch, have a great weekend!
Original owner of a 03 Suburban with 202,000 miles. Still our daily driver. You couldn't give me a new one! Best vehicle we've ever owned!
I've got a 95 Tahoe zero Rust
You should get a pair of Vice-Grips for when you encounter those blown out tailgate struts.
That tailgate wouldn't hurt you too bad, you're young and in good shape. You did an amazing job on the outside of the Suburban
The carpeted door panels go way back to the 1960s carpet was more durable than the vinyl wrap. The carpet saves on scuffs on the bottom of the doors but I don’t think it’s done in any current vehicle. Nice job!
Yup! Scuffs on shoes (people do push the doors open with their feet), as well as scuffs on the hard plastic lower door panels. I wish the manufacturers would still do this, but it seems every manufacturer wants to reduce costs ...and make more profit.
was coming in here to see if anyone said this...that is the exact reason for it.
These people could at least clean their junk out of the vehicle. There is no excuse for giving it to you like that.
Well that wouldn’t make for a good YT video if they did that…
It's all for the show
I won't ever understand why people let their cars get this disgusting 🤢
@@pianoguy1584some of us practically live in our cars. I use it for work and getting around in my personal life. Also, mental health is an issue.
I'm assuming it's part of the show. He probly tells them to leev it as is. Makes for better content 😂
From what I understand the reason for the carpet on the doors is due to it being called a a kick panel so if your out In the mud and the. Getting back in it won't be on the floor as much. At least that's what I've been told anyway. Hope that helps
The GMT800 platform overall was awesome. I'm not a GM fan, but these trucks/SUV's were built right and dependable
Really like that shade of metallic green
From Cardiff in Wales. New to your channel, but thoroughly enjoy it. Have always been very particular with my vehicles. My first car was a 1.6 Ford Capri. It was gold, with a light beige interior. I used to keep a clean pair of shoes in the boot and swap them over when driving😂. Your content is very satisfying and quite therapeutic. 👍🏻
That beast of a Suburban looks incredible.
Anybody else remember the show Dead Like Me? There was a character named Delores. She had a video service where she filmed herself doing stuff. Like cleaning house, doing taxes, doing housework for others. I honestly didn't expect to be living that future like this. 😂
That flap was my favorite feature. You could keep things there and put a bed inside the suburban if all the seats were down
My family owned one ! 2003, tan interior, LS, bench seat second row!! We loved it !!!!
The 2000-2006 year range of GM full size SUVs were some of the best. Full 6ft bed if you folded down the second row in any Tahoe or Yukon. Full 8ft bed removing third row, folding down second row and using those footwell covers in Suburban or Yukon XL. Miss my ‘03 Tahoe for this reason alone. Was nice to go to the drive in movies with an air mattress in the back or just put so much more stuff in the back than in my 2011 Yukon where the second row folds up and takes away a lot of cargo space…
Chevy suburban and thoes are my favorite suv
The carpeted bottom of the doors has several functions... Serves as a scuff protection for the plastic panel, also serves a purpose in dealing with NVH, noise, vibration and harshness. As well as makes more work for our favorite auto detailer!!! 😂😂😂❤❤
You should place a camera inside pointed at some of the windows as you power wash the exterior.
The foldable piece at the back of the seats is a footrest when you put it down. It's rarely used (in a modified way) in some luxury sedans these days.
I had an idea for and interesting shot as you sprayed of the back window. A shot looking out from over the back seat as the window was blasted with the pressure washer.
I gotta say Mitch you're the best cleaner ever, I wonder one day you would encounter a Mercury vehicle to detail, They're very similar to Ford at the same time, Mercury was served as Ford's medium priced brand that was created in 1938, It was originally created to serve Ford customers a premium vehicle. In 1945, during the world war II, Ford merged its mid range Mercury brand with Lincoln and thus Lincoln-Mercury was born. Sadly after years of declining sales, Ford have decided to discontinue Mercury brand in order for its efforts to focus on Ford and Lincoln lineups. Finally in 2011, Ford completely phased out Mercury brand meeting to its end on the road, However after Mercury's death, I really love your amazing videos, you did an excellent job of cleaning vehicles and I'll be enjoying watching your videos for as long as I can.
When it's nice and cleaned up, I have always thought that the shade of gm metallic green looks really nice.
My current daily driver is a black 2002 chevy suburban and it's been in our family since 2011, we had bought it as a bank repo. I love that truck. Awesome video by the way❤
I love when you work on old American vehicles
The Owner really did put Lift Kit on this Truck ❤ Love the Truck so much
Nice transformation, and you can use a pair of channel locks on the underside of the shock it will help hold up
To see how far u have come Mitch just blows my mind! I'm one of your subs that's been here since your channel was in the early 1000's I've watched you grow and it's been an Honor! Keep up the satisfying work!
Those old Chevys always clean up lovely!
The back window power washing was soooo satisfying!!!
I love it that you work so systematically 😍😍
I love when you detail the classic Silverados & the occasional Suburban !!!!
Man. You’ve come such a long way over the years. I remember first watching your vids about 3-4 years ago and I’ve loved all your content since I found your channel. Keep it up man. Amazing work
You have done yourself proud with the magical job on the carpet
I don't know what color I was expecting that Suburban to be under all of that mud, but it sure wasn't that pretty green! Excellent job as always, however, I can't help but find myself wondering if we'll ever get another guitar outro. 🤔
Every one should support you because of your hard work
It’s mind blowing how people are with their vehicles 😳 and you make it look new again. Like watching your videos,keep up your Great work you do!
One of the best trucks in the world
This was amazing! The car looks great at the end of the video and I’m impressed on how well you cleaned it up! Great job Mitch and enjoy your weekend everyone!
Hey Botdog, have a great weekend. That was fun to watch. Now back to work. Ugh. lol
Hello Botdog614, I agree with you. Mitch is doing an impressive job. Have a wonderful weekend!
@@cynthiahopkins7090 thanks!
@@joelbuchanan471 I get it, work sucks!
I appreciate how much work you do to make this video, Mitch! The Suburban looks fantastic!
That flap on the second row seats was amazing. It would allow for a completely flush floor from the front row to the tailgate. They got rid of them with the next redesign because the seats would not fold flush anymore. It was my mom’s favorite feature.
❤
People nag GM in the late 90s/early 2000s for the terrible plastic feel of the interior, but I truly miss their interiors as a whole. The carpet is so much nicer, everything is such a simple/easy design to either remove or operate.
GM of the early 2000s was surprisingly reliable outside of a few cars. The cheap plastic only bothers those who hate GM as a whole.
Always enjoyable and inspiring to watch you at work. Can't wait to get at my own car this weekend. Thank you.
Detail Geek all the way!I learned alot from watching you that I use for my own job!Thank You so much!Keep up the Awesome work.Happy Friday everyone!
Sorry for late comment! This detailing job is seriously impressive. The amount of dirt and grime on that Suburban was insane but you tackled it like a pro. Good job Mitch!
I like seeing the videos with the customers reactions.
Amazing to see the beautiful deep green paintwork reveal itself as soon as the pre wash rinse started!😊
I love when your standard is clean as new
The carpets in the door panels could be for using your muddy foot to push open the door if you're stopped on uneven ground. Better cleaning a bit carpet than scraping a plastic door card 😀
I'm with you about the carpet on the doors. I often put my foot there to stop the door closing (especially in wind) on me as I prepare to get out. It is a nice look, though.
I thought it was a way to reduce the noise 😅
Thanks for teaching me how to detail! I have an 04 Corolla that I bought a wreck, and now it almost looks brand new.
That dark color green and those dark rims make it hard to appreciate just how much work you put into cleaning that truck.
I love when he sprays the cars down with the soap and goes in with the little brush for the DETAILS
Thanks Mitch have a great weekend.
Mitch I bet you had to shovel out all of that mud and dirt from your shop floor! I love that shade of green on the suburban and the awesome job you did getting it all cleaned up. Have a great weekend.
That car has a gorgeous unique colour!
The Detail geek is my favorite youtube channel
Great result! You can use a transmission jack to support the weight of the tail gate. That's a more safe solution for you
I bet you were glad it didn't have carpeted wheel wells😂 Awesome job as always!
Great job, Mitch! I love that green color too. That's the kind of suv you can live in and it looked lived in lol hope the customer loves what you did there. Happy Weekend!
I have this exact car and love it! It was fun to watch. My 2001 ford excursion also has the flaps on the back of the seats to make a flat cargo area. It would be cool if you could detail an excursion! But it would be a monster job, ha!
Oh wow! 😮 love the transformation!
Curious what a detail like this would cost ?? Love how detailed and thorough you are!!
Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳
Good job cleaning it I really like watching the videos are you videos are awesome keep up the good work
Man that was a lot of dirt and stains but wow what a difference though. Looks awesome Mitch nice job as always
Great job this car was filthy and you made it nice and shine and the customer would be so please
When you were pressure washing the green looked very similar to my mother's '00 4 runner, in fact if the handles were chrome I definitely would have had to look a little longer at it (from the side) to realize it was a suburban.
That must have been a lot of work. Hats off.
Great job as always Mitch love the color of that Suburban you don't see alot of green colored vehicles
Can't wait to watch this after work! I love the fact that the back end is just...brown lol. Have an amazing weekend Mitch!
Hello Jennifer_MB, you will enjoy watching his fabulous video. Have a wonderful day and an enjoyable weekend! 😊👋
Hey Jennifer, have a great day at work. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
@@cynthiahopkins7090 Thank you so much my friend! I'm back to watch the video again, we can never get enough detail geek! Happy Sunday!! 🥰
@@joelbuchanan471Thank you joel! I think it's your well wishes that made me have a quick and easy day at work on Friday! Happy Sunday and have a great week!! 😃
I have a gmc YukonXL with that foot well cover, I think it was great design minus the clips. I use it for camping and having the flaps makes it so I can put blow up mattress down.
Beautiful work!
What happened to the undercarriage pressure washer? Love the transformation on all the vehicles
Nice work! 🔨😎🤘🏻 Came out very well.
Awesome transformation
Love the green paint ! Looks Awesome as always!
I had a couple of GM cars that had carpeting along the door panels. I think it helped for acoustics for the vehicle between dampening the outside road noise to giving a more solid sound for the music played.
Do you ever clean engine bays? If so can you start including this footage? Thanks, love your content sir!
Such a great job. Kudos
You deserve more subscribers because you do such a good job!
It cleans up nice for the year
Hi Mitch this suburban looks so good and i really like the color of green awesome job Mitch have a nice weekend
If you live in the North where snow and salt are on the roads, you better clean it or it will be a rust bucket Winter Beater in a few years. Not a real problem here in the South, unless you live near the ocean and get salt spray. At least the under carriage. I have a 20 year old F150 with only surface rust on the frame. South Carolina near North Myrtle Beach.
The products that Mitch sells on his website are the same products that he uses in his work so they're Guarenteed to be exellent quality
Awesome as always
Another amazing detail.
Great job.mitch to get it presentable until thhe restoration keep up the good work ii enjoy all the video's like to see the full restotation
Wow,just doing the prewash was amazing.The colour would be called bottle green here in Germany 😊
The LIKE button has been smashed!! 👍😁
Fantastic job on the Suburban! Hey Mitch, will there be any more Yard Geek videos coming?
Should've really been a wheels off detail. These gmt800 burbans really deserve the full treatment, including a Fluid Film application. I'm a Toyota truck guy, but I wouldn't hesitate living with an old gmt800. Wish i kept my 02
Incredible job
Great job on that big old Land Sub.
Looks amazing
I have those 2nd row flaps in my 18 Toyota Sequoia. When you fold the 2nd and third row complety they bridge the gaps so you can put cargo all the way through. I use them all the time.
Awesome! Looks great! Always funny when someone doesn’t get the wheel spacers for the big rims! Spend more money on new tires then the $100 on the spacers from the start.
