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

[madmanjustice]

I have the GoRhino pushbar. I couldn’t find a complete used Setina piece, and new ones were not available.

i'll probably end up with a Go Rhino on the 2014 since (as you say) complete Setina units are hard to find and Setina does not sell parts directly to consumers. I had to buy two used Setina bars to get all the parts for my PPV.

Mine is a 5000 series. They also make a 3000 series. Appearance is similar. I learned waaaaay after the fact that the major difference is the 5000 series is rated for impact. Perfect for deer armor.

I have been pulled over years ago for no front plate. I may run without it and take my chances...

New Hampshire runs front and rear plates. Still haven't installed the bracket on wifey's Equinox and I absolufreakinlutely refuse to put a hole in my Mustang front bumper-write me the damn ticket!

 

[Kee Fuller]

New rims and tires on the way.

Arrg. Discovered the front bumper on my 2014 is not drilled for a license plate. And in Texas a front plate is required. So when i get my plates I get to drill into my nice smooth bumper to install my front plate.

I got a ticket on 45 coming home from college for dark tint and a vanity from plate.

It was my rims too. The stop was hilarious. Judge threw it out.

In my area, they don't enforce the Plate on the front rule... Too much other junk to bust peoples balls for...

Northside of H town...

Here, it's a matter of they can pull you over whenever they want.

Wifes car doesn't have one.
PO replaced the bumper cover and opted to not have it drilled for a plate holder.

I did buy the plate holder, but it needs to be painted to color match the car.
Then i ended up building a new engine for the hoe, it has been on the backburner since.

On the Go Rhino I recommend drilling drainage holes in the lower cross bar to let the water to drain out. Also grind some drain notches in the ends of the tubes because they are capped concavely and hold water there as well. If not rust streaks start to run out of the mounting bolts and streaking down the side plates and looks like ****. Just a heads up. I have not had an issue with the top tube yet.

I ran into the previous owner of the Hoe today at work. He says my trans was replaced at around 150K. So that means I got about a buck 80 on the current one. So at least I know now it's not the original. And hopefully built up a bit with better ingredients.

NOW you tell me. Also a true story.

 

[Trippers99hoe]

They only give us a rear plate in Oklahoma.(Cheap bastards)

Sorry saw some reviews here and there about it and took a shot. Apparently they are not painted on the inside. I saw a few reviews complaining about this.

Yeah, that would definitely annoy me.

It does....

Ooh! that's that cheap Chinese metal rust! Like cheap patio furniture. Yuck!

Which one did you go with?

 

[Bill 1960]

Which one did you go with?

OEM. Taking the path of least resistance and fastest. I’m lucky to get it into a shop on short notice; every place I have been all summer is backed up, and this town is no different. Every shop is surrounded by a pile of vehicles waiting.

Except for the dealers, who have empty lots, and still give the same answer EVERY time, which is 1 week backlog for the shop. I think it’s GM policy or something. But they do seem to be short handed.

I may change out all the mounts for something stronger when I’m home in my own garage. This winter I need to decide whether to fish or cut bait. Which means proceed with winch, axle upgrades, lockers and all that… or maybe upgrade to a 2500 and build that.

I need to look into the specs on a 2500 Avalanche which I think is probably as long as a Suburban.

Avalanche is the same as a Burb.

Yeah I figured, and I’d rather have the Burb.

Life never gives me what I want, waaaaa.

H2 has the mechanical attributes, but damn they’re ugly. And those tiny windows are a deal breaker.
