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

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

Good catch I missed that.

Yeah, it doesn't clean up and look black anymore.

 

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

Why not put the 3M on the inside of the glass?

Outside was easier, especially with the radio antenna on the pass side.
And I wanted to see how the "panel side" would look.

Recently I saw a 4runner around here that self-tapped some sheet metal in place of the rear windows. Looked like an attempted "overlanding" rig

Anyone see the digital headlights out of Mercedes? I believe the vehicle sensor identifies oncoming traffic and digitally blocks the light source that the other vehicles could see, so your headlights never change and the other people never get the direct glare. Almost like it shadows them out of the light emission. Pretty wild.

Ya i'm thinking many manufactures are only going to do the minimum requirements to save money and barely make it out of the warranty period.

Yeah that’s the type that’s going to be legal here with the new law. Other types of adaptive headlights like curve adaptive where they change direction with the steering wheel as well as automatic high beams have been legal I believe but the new law allows what they call adaptive driving beams which is what the top end lights have. They use LED arrays that don’t have a low beam/ high beam. They’re full bright all the time until they need to throw shade lol. Quote:

How adaptive driving beams work is complex. They are composed of numerous small but bright LEDs. Each LED's brightness can be precisely adjusted by software. Like automatic high beams, a sensor detects the lights of other vehicles. However, instead of turning the entire beam on or off, each LED actively adjusts corresponding to the location of other vehicles. Each LED dims or brightens as those vehicles approach or pass, creating an area of "shadow" around them. Adaptive driving beams provide high brightness around other vehicles, but low brightness directly on them, which maximizes visibility without dazzling other drivers. Some systems are better than others at reducing glare for oncoming traffic.

I’ve thought about rigid foam cut to shape and wrapped in black fabric. Friction fit from the inside.

DAMN that's a good idea. I have that static cling 5%limo tint back there right now. Had it in there for 3 years. on the back window too. Any of the edges that started to roll up I just magic tape it. And I cut squares out where the rear strobes are and magic taped those too.

That would help insulate, but I don't have much of an issue with that, nice thick sleeping bag and whatnot. Waking up can be a little tough because it'll be down in the teens inside the car when it's time to get up, but nice and toasty in the cotton coffin.

But those windows are so useless for driving, you can't see out of them even if you turn around, the headrests are in the way from the second row.
So covering them up sure wouldn't make a difference as far as driving is concerned.

 

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

Filled up again. ~1.5mi away from my normal station(which is right on an off/on ramp for the highway...$3.55-e85 last fill up)

In Chicago, premium goes from $3.70 at its lowest (Costco) to about $5.85 (Downtown Chicago).

As for the question about the taillights, they're direct OE fitment from a company called Spyder. No need for resistors or extra harnesses. Complete plug and Play. As for them fitting, they fit fine. The only issue is a tiny mm sized gap at the top and bottom that I'm not happy with. Other than that, they work perfectly fine and light up nice and bright.

The full length 3rd brake light, I got from Amazon. I bought the smoked light and this part, I have absolutely no issues with. Everything was perfect and it was also plug and Play.

I bought my Hoe, from Chicago, when I went home for a quick visit, in 2014. Now, she is in the final stages of a full blown overhaul and finishing out the fuel lines, and building out the exhaust. I hate the winters there, but glad to have grown up a Hawks fanatic!

I was going to say, "Chicago. A great place to be FROM." But I won't.

Aww baby Lori.
How adorable.

E85 $3.55
91 $ 4.85~

I guess our prices up here are better than I thought.

E85 - $3.15
93 - $3.25 (edit change from 91)


*In other news, we woke up to 5” of fresh powder this morning with another 2-3” expected by tomorrow. Two weeks in Florida can’t get here soon enough. So @swathdiver make sure to tell your state to get its act together by mid-Feb.

Was cold and rainy yesterday and today. Been in the 50s all day today and supposed to drop into the 30s tonight. I was sitting outside with my daughter enjoying the weather and company and missed church! Supposed to hit a high of 63 tomorrow, doing the intake gaskets then. Too cold for paint correction and maybe even washing the trucks, if so, we'll head out west and play in the mud and dirt for a while!

Too cold to wash HA!!!! I'm worry about getting her washed if the low goes below 25 at night. I hate winter and road salt!!

We get like 1 or 2 "warm days" above freezing a week, you wash it, then a piddly little rain or snow storm hits, they go A_peshit with the salt/brine, and shit gets all over the truck then it deep freezes the rest of the week and you can't wash it, so aggravating!!!

Double male barbed coupler and a release tool. For the tool, I've never had one of these let me down: https://www.amazon.com/ARES-70024-3-16-Inch-Scissor-Disconnect/dp/B0195XBPPQ

I never had any luck with the scissor style as compared to the “spoon” style or the wrap around snap-lock style. The scissor ones can be too big for some tight spaced areas.

Of course, as I write I'm sitting in Columbus, OH with our previously pristine, Arizona-owned for most of its life, '07 XL Denali sitting outside drenched in salt spray. I can almost hear the rust eating away at that clean metal.

I know exactly what your saying bud. Luckily I got more life out of “Alpha” (my ‘02) but only because I moved two weeks after I bought it, so she spent the majority of her life in Cali and NC.

Same here.

Got the fleece highs & fogs board installed, tight fit up in there with all my alarm crap installed, works! Now I have highs and fogs and same for flash to pass

 

[89Suburban]

Same here.

You got the salt air to deal with too.

That salt air put a hole right through the quarter panel in my Blazer.
