What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Derick]

Thus post rocks. How many times do we do some dumb truck stuff, but no one cares or is interested.

So we come here to drop it on the forum to guys who have done something just as durrrrr....we all have a jab and laugh.

Thx for sharing. I had a good chuckle.

Lol yup I do stupid stuff. I dont do mechanic work professionally so I lack the experience of checking stupid stuff. I also dont ever recall seeing those plastic protectors on regular front blades, so I would have had no thought to check the rear.

Hell, I blew out my front upper ball joints because I'm an idiot and greased them before putting the truck down. That was a big durr, and cost me 70 bucks and 2 hours to replace em...grr.

You can laugh at yourself or leave the stick up your ass....I choose to remove the stick.

The big brown truck should be dropping these off today, this weekend's tinkering project.

What brand/what vendor did you get ?

1A Auto $120 for the pair, no bulbs, free shipping.

Here is the link, and they have a tool list, instructions and a video how to do it without removing the damned bumper.

I never knew that was even remotely possible to do.

I need to order some. Just dragging my feet because I rarely drive at night. My headlight housings have the clarity of mustard in an opaque bottle.

Yeah mine are yellowed out on the inside, driving me nuts, looks like chit. Should look like a brand new truck once I swap these things out.

Be sure and post pics. Maybe that'll be the motivation I need.

Perfect! Thanks for that. I'm going to keep that link handy! Thanks, man.

Yeah I'll try to do a before and after thang.

Weather was kinda warm today, warm enough to give her a quick bath. Wife has driven it a few times this week, I think I'm gonna lose it.

Which? Blow out the seal or grease it while in the air? lol

An update on this product,

Fast shipping got it in 2 days. These showed up in a huge box like 30" cubed, heavy as hell. Opened it up to find 2 boxes inside, really tight fitting in the main box like a glove. Open the smaller boxes, they are packed tight with that expanding foam in the plastic wrapper stuff. Actually had to be careful peeling it out because it formed so nicely to the headlight tabs and stuff you didn't want to break anything. Once you get the headlight out there is another 1/2" thick sheet of closed cell foam lining the bottom of each box. Each headlight has a nice thick film of shrink wrap on the clear plastic protecting it.

The biggest surprise was to find out both headlights came with ALL new bulbs already installed. Not a bad deal at all! Just got to swap over some of my LED's.

I misunderstood you, just the seal blew out, but the ball joint itself didn't come apart right?

Nice! I've had good luck with 1A Auto, as well, on both the fast shipping and the well packed parts.

Same. My mirror cap replacements and door handles (that I've yet to install) were packaged nicely.

lol that would be epic, but also unlikely on 2 month old joints

The taillights I'm currently running are probably 3 or 4 years old now. Long story short, one of the assemblies is starting to flake out on me so I've ordered some new tails. Figured I'd give these a try. Should be here by the end of the week

I gots em

Mind posting pics once installed? Mine ended up having a gap along the top edge. I used some foam gasket to fill it in and you cant even tell it's there now.

Interesting! I'll definitely keep you posted on how mine fit. I won't be happy if mine have that big gap but I'll definitely use a similar approach that you used if mine does turn out that way.

I pushed down on the appliqués and up on the taillights to close the gap but obviously it opened up again. Harder to see it on my truck because its black and i got the tinted tails but nonetheless it still is bothersome, but not enough for me to do anything about it...you’re definitely going to need that crack fill stuff that @Leo1103 posted about so you may as well order it @07Burb

 

[PG01]

@07Burb

Kinda matches the quarter glass and hatch glass lines so im kinda ok with it....

 

[PG01]

Dammit ...i know, frost fighter or whatever it’s called....I guess the dash is gonna crack next.....smh

Yeah, that's actually not bad since it comes up to the quarter panel like that
