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

I had the same thought. It's actually not in there as well as I'd like it to be anyway. I did make a new foam gasket for it, but in reusing the retaining ring for reinstall, it's just not very tight.

Same thing happened to mine when I had to swap parts from my chrome bumper to my Denali bumper. I always have to straighten it out, it gets crooked. I think if you put a hose clamp on it from behind, that'll keep it snug.

Thanks . Happy to get some new shoes. But the highlight was putting on the HD grille. That trasformed the look in a big way.

Did you cut some off the bottom like @Tonyrodz? I'm debating about CMing the strip on my stock one and waiting until I can get a new bumper to mess with the HD grill because I really don't want to cut much off of it.

I was wondering about the same thing once I put my Denali bumper on. How am I gonna get that ring back on that I destroyed taking off lol.

Also, the big girl has another friend at the house, my buddy's 89 Sierra I've posted about a couple times.

Or buy the new retainer for $12. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spare-Tire-...08-15040331-/222600829104?hash=item33d40b18b0

The lock rings are one-time use; they need to be replaced once they're pried off.

Yeah, I know. I'm cheap, and I straightened all the teeth, and I clamped the tube in place, and I went around with a little screwdriver giving each tooth the attention it deserved, and so on. I think plastic tube is as tired as the ring. I already hate things that just push together. I'd rather improve it somehow...

What is that piece on the left!? Mine only had the right one. Feel free to send the $12 to my PayPal, and I'll do it.... Lol

Yes sir, no way around it :-/
Luckily I have a spare HD grille if I do find a cap.
An inch or more. I cut it even with the lower mounting clips.

Yes, those 3. Two 18's and a 15. There's a fourth on each side underneath, it's 21. Then two 21's just above the receiver. So 10 total.
