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

    Pretty much looks just like it did when I bought it Tony. But I'll get some pics.

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

    Well. I did clean the 2000 Escalade a little bit. And changed the wiper blades after they kind of lost the rubber parts in a major down pour! That was a fun drive! A few months back replaced the WHOLE brake system front to back. Stainless Steel lines and such. Seeing as I retired a year ago...

    It was the Pitman arm and Idler arm that were bad. Wife says it drives GREAT now.

    Many think poly is the best upgrade for for areas such as the control arms and such. Not always true! Maybe as a simple 'Buy it and be cool' But there is a performance and longevity trade off. Poly is best for simple street exchange for the stock rubber stuff. Delrin AF? Self lubed with PTFE...

    That's just what the Wife told me. Not sure what actually needed fixed until I talk to my Mechanic. I just tell her to take it to him if it acts weird. I'm more into the Opel GT and getting the stuff for that. As an example I wanted really good front control arm bushings for the Opel. Now I...

    My 2000 Escalade found here

    Will get pics when We pick it up from shop. It's a nice Caddy! Sure, some minor things to fix but a great example of a 2000! I like the looks. For a 2000? I think it was far ahead of it's time for style! One of those that just don't age. Seats in the Grand Am GT are whatever came in them. It is...

    Months later the Caddy is in the shop again. Front steering stabilizer needed replaced. Nothing surprising for a 21 year old car. Of course this happened when the Winter Storm dumped several inches of snow! On a side note I did pick up the HP Tuner stuff that will work with the Caddy. Main...

    1973 Opel GT build

    The 3.4 I'm building is a cast iron RWD lower end. That gets the FWD 3.4 aluminium heads and all intake systems from a Grand Am GT. A different cam and larger throttle body for the EFI. Plus a few other things I'm not remembering right now.

    I'll do that ASAP. Right now I'm getting it set to go get undercoated. It came from a salt free area and Ohio is the King of dumping salt! I did replace the tail lights that were on it. Went back to stock from the Hurst looking ones that were on it! Also had USB ports installed so Wife can...

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

    SWMBO 'installed' a white recliner/rocker in the back of the Hoe while I was away. Guess who's job it is to uninstall it and get it in the house? If she couldn't kick my ass I'd beat her.

    New speakers - have a few questions

    Sorry about the side view video but here's my '06 Silverado with just new front door speakers. I'll be adding rear speakers soon. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Piu0-QOOXsmNNhXYZGZmOOYwFfRvp8mp/view The HU is one I bought out off the classifieds here.
