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

[Austinite]

I'm picking this bad boy up today. I've been looking for one for a while and almost got one of the Move DIY bumpers, but this one was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. I'll install it Saturday and post some pics.

Yeah.. it'll be about $1k figuring they have to drop the front differential to get to the pan. Then they have to remove the transmission for the rear main seal. I don't like leaks, but the truck is giving me plenty!

You don't have to drop it, Just remove the front bolt I think and use a prybar to lift it a little its not bad i did it on my back in my driveway

Edit.... that's for the oil pan gasket I never tried the rear main seal

Dipped the grille black and color matched the bow tie.

View attachment 192613 New drive belt won't fit. Tad bit smaller than the original but everything says this is supposed to work.

Follow up to this. I had another go at the new belt today & got it installed. The belt barely fits with the tensioner arm completely collapsed, or whatever you want to call it. Didn't even look right and there wasn't much pressure on the belt so I manually torqued back on it as much as possible and ran the engine for a while. I'm assuming the belt will wear down quickly enough to get the drive synced in again and I won't have to worry about it. In the meantime I will I hope for the best and inspect it after a few drive cycles if I make it that long. At least I didn't need to loosen the alternator bracket like what's his face

I broke both tabs on the driver side door & window switch panel...

the plastic piece next to the armrest is broken and I broke the place on the window switch panel. Is there a way to fix without buying a new door panel? New switch panel is $30, but doors are pricier! HELP PLEASE!

So, in my down time between the carpet, new leather and inside color scheme, I’ve designed and built a custom enclosure to house 4 12’s... I was nervous as hell with the design wether it was gonna produce quality sound or not but I’m absolutely shocked with how amazing this sounds inside of the huge open cab... ridiculousness!

Interesting enclosure design, never seen one like that before. I'd assume you did it that way to protect the speakers from things rolling around in the back?

What amp(s) are you pushing them with? What subs/ ohm load/ power are you pushing?

That's quite a system

And I'm over here scratching my head about how to build a single 12 or 2/10 enclosure and how to set everything up lmao

That was one reason to help protect and still leaves me some cargo room but I also wanted to have the air pushed from the subs and the ports to kinda all collide together.

1600w pioneer amp pushin 4 12in 4ohm JL’s ran parallel

Haha, well don't be jealous just yet. I picked it up on Friday and started the install Saturday morning. Turns out it's for a 2500HD, which means it lines up with my HD grille, but the brackets that come with it don't line up exactly with the brackets on my Hoe. It's close, but I have a little work to do to make it look right. So I'm just driving around town without a front bumper like a gd savage for a few days. Here's some test fit pics:

That thing is beast!!! A couple minor hiccups but that is gonna be one bad hoe! May need to adjust your front end after adding that much weight too... so bad ass.

How much does it weigh?

I think about 185lbs. It wasn't the easiest thing to try and mount by my damn self

Pretty hefty. That gonna affect your front end or tires negatively?

Probably a little, but I just redid the front end a few weeks ago, so everything is fresh. And supposedly it's lighter than most of the bumpers like it. I'm not too worried.
