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

[DenaliAK]

I'll admit, I do like the amber strips as turn signals. I've thought about something like that myself. The corner LED's, the Audi-type strip and the halos are all aesthetic and just not my style. Not knocking it, I just wouldn't do it.

Lights, especially the unnecessary ones, are totally subjective; some people will think they look cool and some won't.

Glad you like how they came out, though! Now just retro a real HID projector in there.....

Here's my finished front end lighting redo! Lot's of people were asking for pics, so here you go!

• 
  White LED Daytime Running Lights (Audi Style)
  Amber LED Turn Signals
  High Intensity Discharge Xenon Headlights (5000k, 35w)
  Aftermarket projector Halo headlights

I like the halo projector and xenon headlights and fogs, not feeling the Audi style LED strip but what matters is you like it!... NICE JOB SIR!

Thank you my man!! I should post some engine pics too, I've got that thing looking as clean as if it were right off the assembly line!!

Well these current headlights are projector! Haha and the light output with those new HIDs I've got in there is simply stellar.

They're not an HID projector.

There is a big difference between some aftermarket light that has a cheap plastic projector and a real, OEM HID projector with chromed bowls and optically focused glass lenses.

today im having a new AC compressor installed. I live in PA and its 90 degrees today WTF!!!??! Oh, and washed it this morning, not that it matters thnx to the pollen

 

[OHSIXX]

i was talking about it in the chat box, but i was going onto the freeway, heavy down pour, hit the gas a bit quick coming out of the turn on the ramp and just hydroplaned and spun

i had my belt on and so did my passenger

a month and a half or two ago i ended up on black ice and went into a tree with my 96, didnt have the belt on then, but was lucky enough to not get hurt at all

i'm getting ******* sick of wisconsin weather, but i at the same time its my driving habits

ended up with a ticket for speeds too fast and a call to the insurance company

THat Sux.Glad you are OK tho. Here is a novel idea-slow down in the rain. Living in WI you should be a better driver than the average person since we deal with all kinds of conditions throughout the year. I'm guessin' not only your driving habits but your age plays a role in your decision making.....

Hopefully she gets fixed quickly.......

That's how mine look. Cutoff line EXACTLY like that. They are super bright, even though they probably arent glass

age wasnt so much as driving habits, and not being used to the way this truck drives, never had this one in any real bad weather, wasnt expecting the rear end to just catch like it did, its such a different reaction compared to what the 96 would have done

but its a turn i've taken a thousand times, and i just made the mistake of hitting the gas harder than i should have, kicked the rear out and spun, none of it was like trying to drift or anything, believe me i dont do that, i may have when i was 16, but not now

and my driving habits are generally quick speed and lane change type stuff, just wasnt expecting it to happen like it did


edit: about 8500$ repairs is the estimate, and thats before a shop looks to see about frame damage

Cool. You got lucky, then. Most aftermarket projectors completely suck.

But, once again, it's your ride, and I'm glad you like the way the lights came out! There was a time when I wanted the halos, but then everyone started getting them. Guess I'm different in that I like it simple best.

It wasn't today, but yesterday. I hope that still counts. I traded my 05 Denali XL in. It had 147,000 on it and needed a lot of work. I jumped ship and bought a new Ram 1500 Quad Cab Outdoorsman. I"m 42 and this is my first vehicle that isn't a GM. I still can't believe I bought a Mopar, but it is a damn nice truck.

05 with 147k? just got broken in!

congrats on the purchase.......but you want from an SUV to a pickup???

 

[2000YukonSLE]

Nice truck! It was the opposite for me, i was always Mopar before my Yukon and never had any issues at all! Wasnt a Dodge but i always drove Jeeps, same family.

As far as what i did to my Yukon today, same thing i do every day....Spray wax her down and wipe down all the wheels. Trucks supposed to be white, tired of seeing all that damn yellow pollen.

I'm not generally a Dodge truck fan, but that's a nice looking one! And I recently was looking at a new one on the showroom floor and you're right, the interiors are very nice.

It was well past broke in. The tranny was acting up, the A/C compressor was shot, airbag light on, ride control didn't work, tires were bald, and about once every 2 or 3 weeks it wouldn't start. After I bought it I was playing with the radio at the dealer when the salesman went to move the Denali. He got out, I rolled down the window, and he said it was dead. I said just said that's wierd, rolled up the window and hauled ass out of there. The seats are a lot more comfortable. When I was driving on the highway I would start getting stiff and sore after about 1.5 hours. I pulled my Camper with the Ram yesterday for about 4 hours and felt like I could have sat in it all day. I don't think it handled the trailer quite as well as the Denali, but it really pulled better up the hills.

Sounds like she could get totaled out....ouch.....hey live and learn right--done plenty of dumb sh*t when I was younger and had a few of those times where I learned something about how a vehicle reacts....I'm guessing you were in 2WD to get that outta shape. Any ideas of a replacement vehicle if this one gets totaled??

I visited my baby at the holding yard behind the paint and body shop. She is getting new parts. Should get into the shop end the week/first the week depending on parts arrival.

yeah, i dont trust driving around in auto4 for some reason, i guess in my head it was just another thing to break as i was driving

and it has to be right on the edge of total loss, if im not mistaken thats like 75% of the value?

and i want another nbs hoe, i'm not looking forward to fixing my stereo system in this one, speakers got all ****** up even worse than they were before when my sub went flying

but i dont even know if i'd have enough for a down payment on another nbs so i'm kinda up ***** creek without a paddle atm but everything happens for a reason, and everything will work out in time, thats the one good thing about me is i stay opptimistic in the worst of it

I removed the roof rack, filled in the holes with set screws/sealer. Next up, rubbing compound where the old rack sat, then applying body moulding to cover the inserts. Looks much better without the rack IMO.

Just vacuumed out the denali and also uninstalled my Dim LED mod, thank you Canbus bulbs for solving the problem!!
