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

[TheAutumnWind]

I want to do this. Is it plug n play? Do I need larger than stock wheels? (I’m sure) can you just buy off the shelf calipers, and bolt them on?

Wheels 17" or bigger are fine iirc. Calipers with the brackets and pads and rotors that match. They bolt right up. They fill up a 20" wheel much better than stock

Edit here's mine excuse the disgustingly dirty wheel.

 

[TheAutumnWind]

This is my rf rotor. Pad only making half contact. Never seen that before

Thanks! Eventually I’ll upgrade the wheels. Until then, I’ll be stuck with NBS..

These are getting close to the rivets. It’s been needing tlc for awhile now. I work on everyone else’s and put mine off until I absolutely have too. But half contact is a first for me

You're running 16s? I thought you had something different? Find a cheap set of 01-06 z71 snowflakes in the meantime if you need to do brakes so you can upgrade.

I’ve never seen that either. Are the rotors warped?

Probably. But it would have high and low spots all over the contact area. Not consistent like that. I’m gonna pull it apart this weekend.

Oh you have 16s? Bummer. Lots of inexpensive wheels for these trucks available luckily. I bought some 20" welds for my old denali for $200 on craigslist.

Those are my stock 20's on the caddy tho.

Pad mustve partially broken off the backing plate or something.

 

[AFYukon]

Bath, all 6 light assemblies, and bulbs. Had not aligned the lights yet.

Had to replace the Left front caliper, pads, and rotor. Pulling a trailer around and came home to a smoking rotor.

Luckily I just did the brakes last month, so I got them warrantied and bought a replacement caliper

caliper might be bent. olny time ive seen such uneven wear.

How about this for a simple thread. I know a lot of us do simple stuff to our trucks everyday and we don't make a new thread for everything we do. So if you did something neat, simple, or just want to brag about a new cool piece you threw on your ride post it up. I figure this thread will also bring inspiration to others as well.

I'll start.....

Today I did some spring cleaning to the my '01 Tahoe. I washed it and cleaned out the inside. I also ordered some new JL audio speakers for the doors and front and rear Weathertech floor mats. I also put some sound deadening material in the doors.

Jack your post count up, and post away.

Pretty much plug and play on stock 17s.

Of note, if you're like me and hate clip on weights, use the thin sticky weights. Not the thick(heavy) ones. I have maybe 2mm of clearance between my wheel weights and caliper. They rub the slightest bit on hard turns.

Good point. I never even thought of weights. I know it's pretty tight with 17s.

Put the 22's on, just so I can save the 17's for winter driving.

It was like 150 degrees--cut the grass too!

Noticed the dreaded door rust on the drivers rear. Also did the passenger rear and liftgate along the seams while I was at it.

Before :

Sanded/cleaned up:

After:

Tailgate shot for good measure :

We'll see how it all holds up. Hopefully I caught it in time.

How'd you prep after sanding it down?
