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

[Tonyrodz]

Ordered my paint and clear coat today. I’m going to give painting them a shot. If I mess it up, I’ll just dip back over them or pay someone to do it.

Make sure you do a light scuff then clean them.

after scuff and clean, should I use auto primer before paint?

 

[Bombsquad85]

Nice. I gotta get mine painted. Looks so much nicer than plastidip.

I lucked out and found a set in black

Swapped projectors out for a newer version.

I’m a little obsessed with retrofits now. Picked up a set of Denali headlights I’ll most likely throw my 7.0s in to sell locally or on here.

I'm sure it's on here. Excuse my noobness, but let me get a parts list, etc on what u used for this. I'd rather do this now then level it out with spindles. I hate the nights driving in it compared with my girls Infiniti JX60 SUV which has factory HIDs

New kryptonite wheel bearing today, and while I was at it detailed all my wheels and threw my 2” spacers back on the rear. Definitely going to have to get a matching bearing on the passenger side, really happy so far with the quality

Also should be doing the 07+ brake upgrade soon, just gotta find some tires for my 22x12s so I can throw em on once the brakes are squared away.

Those kryptonite parts are so nice! I've been putting off a full front rebuild with all their parts because it ain't cheap lol.

You can, not necessary tho. It would fill in any small to medium scratches. If you do, you should wet sand the primer smooth with at least 2000 grit sandpaper, clean it well with a lintless towel then paint. To paint use light skim coats for coverage 1st--just keep doing that until it's completely covered. You can let it dry for a few minutes, at least til it's tacky then clear coat it.

Side note :

I spoke with Natr from C&B designs and to have a bracket made up to fit a d2s projector into he denali lamps would run $300

That's one of those quotes where they don't really want to do it but if you pay them enough they will.

Lmao that's exactly what I thought when he told me that price. For that much I'll grab some aluminum and cut one myself

Outside temp almost 50. But where it was sitting in sun the inside temp of burban was much warmer and has only been sitting roughly 4 hrs

I wonder if it's the solder joints starting to crack and will eventually need to be reflowed.

 

[DutchSchultz]

Fwiw , I bought my Yukon with a cluster that had an oil pressure gauge that wouldn’t function as well as the gear indicators not showing up.

Instead of trying to solder the broken connections I bought a refurb off eBay. Everything works and I now have blue LEDs in there too
