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

It’s not real hard. Watch their videos online first. They explain it really good. It will be a couple hours if you take your time. Once you get the leather on the seat but not attached, flip it upside down like in my pic above. Clip the back first. Have someone help you compress the seat down to get the front stretched enough to fold it over and snap into place. At first you think there is no way it’s going to come up and roll over enough to snap in, but it will.

Put the Escalade appliqués back on after peeling the dip and painting them black. Not quite as shiny as I thought(I’m definitely not a painter). But I think I like the look where they match the color of the window trim.

Have you tried wet sand and buff? Or just a buff. That'll bring out the shine some.

Took a couple hundred mile road trip today to help my buddy move all the stuff off his property. They just sold it since they moved back to North Dakota. Beautiful land, near Fairplay, Co. Had almost 360° mountain view up there.

I was really pleased to get somewhat decent mileage there and back, especially since we were driving in the mountains. I averaged 12.7 on the way up (E-85 mileage..), and 14.3 on the way back. I’ve been a little concerned since my mileage is so bad in town, but it’s just all the stop and go crap. So with 91, I’d be at 15.7 up and 17.3 back. Pretty respectable for a 210k, tuned Yukon I think. [emoji16][emoji106][emoji631]

You tighten it once it's on level ground off the jack?

Wife said washer nozzle appeared clogged.

Turns out the line is busted... Damnit. Sprays fluid all over the battery. Pulled battery to get better look and the tray is all rusty.

Cleaned up and painted battery tray. Didnt fix washer.
