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

[Sevenevez]

Here you go... It's surprisingly difficult to get a decent picture of the roof. The whole truck is actually wrapped.

A hint for the roof... Pull all four corners tight (have a helper!) and lay the vinyl down... You can then work the vinyl between the humps in the roof, if that make sense.

Looks great, man. I woulda thought that was paint if you didnt say otherwise. Nice job.

I watched my buddy use the Vvivid Black on his mustang. He also used 3M Knifeless Tape which i thought was pretty cool. you lay down the tape and then you just pull the strong filament line in the tape up to cut a perfect angle through the vinyl/wrap. I have never wrapped anything before. I'm more of a paint guy

Thanks for the compliment.

I use the heck out of that tape when I wrap something... It's great stuff.

I have also painted several cars in my lifetime... And then sanded them back down and taken them someplace for paint. I just don't have the skills for painting.

That's the pushbar I've been looking for.

Thanks a lot. I've wrapped several vehicles. I can tell you the first one didn't come out this good, lol. It just takes patience, practice, and lots of swearing.

I don't think I have that much patience. That looks great though.

That tape looks awesome!

Matte requires different care than satin or gloss and it's a real ***** in the long run

To roofrack, or not roofrack....damn you @Fosscore , some of your earlier pics where its all clean make me want to not have any rack or running boards, they look so damn clean like this

@inmypassatlife

Thx man. I toyed with no rack on both trucks, but ultimately I liked the contrast. Never had boards, even though the holes are there. And thankfully the Suburban has the power running boards so instant win with them tucked away.

Went for a 600 mile run up north in a snow storm. I changed my tires to Bridgestone duller ats before I left. Thank god I did.

Just before I left. Looks calm but didn’t last long!-37 celcus so cold the fire didn’t want to stay lit ! Chilling over the frozen lakes edge beleave it or not there is 6 people under all this shit ! Definitely time for a suburban!!!

Truck ran like a champ. Took a tank up and a tank back mixed with 94 octane. It helped with the miliage and it worked. Although the farther north I went the colder it got and the mileage dropped to 12.5mpg. This morning when I left the truck barely turned over it was so cold. But she fired and all was good. I love the 4wheel drive ! It grabs like crazy and the new tire helps add to that also.

Who was it that painted the textured parts of the rear bumper and running boards?

@Bombsquad85

Not sure if you got this question answered. Best picture I could find at the moment. I gave them a good degrease and light sanding before hitting them with a couple coats of gloss black rattle can topped with a couple coats of clear and pushed them back on. Keeps the shine for a long time.

You know how to get them off right?

I like the look of no rear wiper just not sure on all those holes you have to fill and how they look.

Nope I was gonna ask how to get them off. I want to paint the bumper cap and running boards

Satin it is haha

Get under the bumper and there are quite a few of the plastic clips that just push though the holes in the bumper.

Some you can pinch and push through with your fingers and some you may need a pair of regular or needle nose pliers to squeeze those clips to compress them and help it push through the bumper holes.

Do not just try to muscle it off from the top or you will rip off the little plastic lip that allows the cap to sit snug on the bumper. This goes the same for the front top bumper cap.

I used a buffer that attaches to my drill way more power and speed, I don't remeber the brand but there around online or stores

A dual action polisher is worlds better then any buffer drill powered or otherwise.

Got my fumoto installed finally. Jad to wait two oil changes since i didnt realize i needed the extension til after i tried the first time...

Are you sure you don't have a block heater? My Denali had one and I didn't even know until I decoded the RPO's.
