What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

It has been 9 years since I had to replace the ac compressor in the suburban and I forgot how much of a pia it is. But it is done and I have ac again.

How about some interior shots? Sounds interesting.

Ask and you shall receive....

I also took some better pics of each side before and after the door handles and removing the pen stripe.

Just out of curiosity, how often and when do you use the CB? Is cell phone reception that bad in your area? I remember using them back in the 90s in high school because cell phone minutes were like $7 and it was the cool thing to have, but I just feel like CBs are damn near obsolete these days, am I wrong?

I got mine mainly for road issues. Traffic, speed traps, etc. It should also be a good backup when I'm in the mountains. Sometimes cell service can be spotty. Fairly inexpensive setup.

I put the K&N stickers on my truck:

What do you think @MadDogDelpho ?

Mounted my CB antenna. Got a rain cap for when it's not in use.

Pretty sharp. Even the rims are a little different.

How do you tune the cb antenna? When I was a kid my father had cb's in all of his vehicles, and a large home base. I'm in nj and he used to talk to family in Puerto Rico from the home base.

The CB shop has a meter that they hook up to get the lowest standing wave ratio based on your antenna, where its mounted, etc...the guy told me they'll end up cutting my antenna down about 6" to get the best signal...I'll be honest, I have no idea HOW it all works.

Seems so complicated. I thought it acted the same as a radio antenna. The longer, the better the reception.

For the most part, thats true, but I guess there is some fine tuning. I leave it up to the pros.
