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

[treehan77]

Trying out this Cerakote trim stuff. Looks really good, I had no problems applying etc. I did wash, degrease, scrub with blue dawn, 2x 91% alcohol clean it though to get the 6 years worth of greasy stuff I e been using. Did the running boards, mirror caps, rear bumper, around the hatch, and roof racks. Still got 2 pouches left to do the front valance later when I clean it and park backwards in the garage.

If it looks this good after a few rains, it’ll be worth it. Says 200 washes/2 years. I’d be happy with through summer lol. She complains when I use the normal stuff the running boards are too slippery, hopefully this keeps it looking black instead of dull grey and isn’t greasy. Before and after

the oem white T

grand total of about $125 and you are good for another 5-8 years before they should be replaced again they are a maintenance item. The plastic gets brittle and soft from heat and cold over time

Agree. I just replaced mine proactively a couple months ago. There are other, much more expensive options out there, but my OEM parts lasted 210k, so figured new OEM should last me longer than I’ll likely need. They are a strange design, and a PITA to remove though.

Very cool! I like Cerakote products, but didn’t know they had one for our plastic trim..! Link?

Nvm, found it: https://www.cerakote.com/shop/cerakote-coating/R-0GTKIT1004/cerakote-trim-coat-kit

ETA: thanks man! Helping me spend more money. [emoji1787] got mine on the way..

I guess it’s n/a on Amazon where I got it at the moment. I was very careful and cleaned until a white rag stayed white lol. Apparently you DO NOT get this stuff off once it is on.

 

[treehan77]

Couple more after shots. In the past I’ve used Mothers back to black, aerospace 303, all kinds of other stuff that look good until the next couple times it rained. Hopefully this has some longevity to it…I need to try it on the vertical pieces on the windshield, they look terrible lol

That came out great.

 

[treehan77]

Yeah, I was curious until I watched a Project Farm video comparing it to other treatments and he convinced me, that guy is great, the video even uses a gmt800 lol

 

[BADRIDES]

Keep us posted cause some of the reviews arent very positive

Great video! Looks like a winner to me!

Yeah, quick connect confuses some people with quick disconnect. More like hard as f to disconnect.

I had no “blotchy” problems like some of the reviews said. I followed the damn directions and super cleaned it, no issues. If you watch Project Farms video, he even uses bug n tar, degreaser, nothing seems to break this stuff down. It looks great now, not sure how you could F it up unless you are lazy and don’t clean what you’re treating. Of course, time will tell as far as longevity. Even the negative reviews say it don’t come off lol.

I found using a pair of dikes to clip the plastic that holds the tab you need to press in lets you pull them off ez, but you ruin the hose which was fine cause I was replacing them.

Yeah, just cut them off and replace them is the only way I know of.

 

[treehan77]

Ended doing the front valence, cowl, and under hood with the rest of the Cerakote lol. Saved for for missed spots- I def missed some spots

 

[Rocket Man]

Washed both trucks plus the bike trying to use up the last of the CG honeydew so I can break out the new watermelon and my car washes will smell good. Spring is in the air lol.

So the other day I did new idler arm w/ bracket, new pitman and new gear box also. What appears to be the stock gear box was puking oil all over the place. Took it to Firestone for an alignment as well. Gear box came from Autozone as it was a last minute decision. No issues and steering feels great. Next is upper arms and lower arms, probably next month.

Threw a 19 bench seat into the back of my 03 Tahoe....bolted right in. Even the seat belts hook up.
My dog just can't get comfortable in the captains chairs.
And easier to just throw sh*t back there and not have it end up on the floor.

This looks really good. How much did you pay for the bench?
