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

[Sweetz]

Ok so all of this has taken place over about the last 6 months, but this is what I’ve done to my 2001 Tahoe LT 4x4 so far...
Bilstein 5100s all the way around
Z71 rear coil springs
3” level keys
22” replica wheels wrapped in 33x12.50 Renegade MTs
2” wheel spacers
20% tint on front, 5% windshield strip
Kenwood speakers in all doors
Powerakoustic “1.5 DIN” touchscreen
Replaced blown factory rear sub
Roof rack removed
Knock off flowmaster 10 series SI/DO to 45s behind tires with 4” SS tips
New clear headlights with silver star bulbs
Niteshade RED tinted tail lights to remove orange turn signal
New radiator
New starter

Truck has ~281,000 miles. Gotta replace headliner and get some good seat covers. Also will eventually get some body work and a paint job on it. This is the truck I always wanted in high school so now I plan on keeping it pretty much forever lol Only paid $2500 and so far she’s been great to me

Ummmm........



Sad day on the 26th...... I had to say farewell to my beloved Chevy Tahoe. After 10 long years it was the day it decided our relationship should end.....

I will forever miss you tahoe many great years; sorry to see you go.

I totaled my tahoe on the morning of the 26th on my way into work. I was going around a curve and the backend slid out from underneath me. I spun around and the wheels caught the grass and I went airborne only to land on the drivers side. What stopped my momentum was an electrical pole as you will seen in the pics.

Someone was definitely looking out for me this morning. I was taken to the local hospital to be checked out. I was given some pain meds and muscle relaxer to help with the pain. I have since been back to the hospital for a second time and been given new meds. If the pain I am concerned about continues I am to follow up with my *** and to ask for an MRI.

Suxs that you totaled your truck. The good is that you survived. I've had mine forever too and can imagine how you feel. I've never been a fan of A/T tires on wet roads. I bet the truck still drove even after that hard hit. They are indeed tanks.

Took my first ride today with the new shocks--MAN, what a huge difference! Didn't bottom out in the rear and rode so much better and just felt "tighter". Also, looks like it raised it a little bit.Maybe 1/4" or a little more, front andrear. Not that great of a pic to tell.View attachment 213121 View attachment 213122

Which shocks did you use. I currently have monroe matic crap in mine and its a wobbly drunk sometimes.

I like the idea of the corsa being black tho, but who knows, Ill have to look around.

Do you have a CAI?

Just weld on a black Corsa style tip that’s what I did, no CAI I did the Airaid intake tube & filter

Bilstein 4600's.

Thanks. Z71 springs and those should get rid of the autoride and the swaying.

The Bilstein 5100's are firmer--if you want to go that route.

Are you running shock extenders? I currently have those same shocks and thought about going to 5100s.

Finally had the time and got around to cleaning up the air horn install. Only took 6 months to find the time lol
Also added the rear air fitting and pressure gauge where the spare tire hoist access cover is. Pretty happy with it!

A couple more shots...

Great looking horn setup and truck as well. You should have a build thread with all this good stuff to share. How about a sound clip so we can hear that thing sing?

 

[inmypassatlife]

So what y'all think? 2007 LTZ, 138k, $8150...would prob do AFM delete pretty soon after purchase. I got a buddy that does them for $1300 with parts.

Finally got wheels and tires. 22s on 33s

Those look great, man!

Sounds like a plan. Super jealous over here! I was never into 22's until I found a set locally that was too cheap to pass up. Chrome was shot to hell too.View attachment 213071
Plastidip is my friend.

Glad you're okay, brother. Sucks to lose a great vehicle like that, but vehicles can be replaced. You... .not so much.

So lucky. I really should wear mine.

Tony please, I beg of you.... working where I work, I'll never go anywhere in a vehicle ever again without one. Just the other night we had a guy not wearing his seat belt roll his blazer, get ejected, then get run over by two cars... he was basically dead before the medics even arrived, but he was asystole so they had to transport him. Never had a chance, poor bastard.

All you guys.... please wear your seatbelts. Seriously. I know it feels confining, but your chances of getting trapped in the seatbelt are much less than you getting ejected and dying.

Drove it to work last night because my truck is getting low on gas and the heat doesn't work. Went outside in the morning to warm the 'Hoe up and drive home and discovered in addition to the blower motor resistor not working, now the rear control is out. So whereas before, I could get by with just having the rear air on, I had to drive home with the fan speed on full blast. So the list of things to replace is now:

-Alternator (at least I think.... there's a rattling noise coming from one of the pulleys and when I stethescoped it, it was either the alternator or the PS pump)
- Blower motor resistor
- Power window regulator
- Rear AC control
- Rear wiper motor
- Washer fluid res
- replacement trim pieces for the ones that keep popping off every time you shut the door
- door speakers
- dash top
- dash bezel
- shift lever (tow/haul button doesn't work)
- headliner
- front bumper
- misc switches that don't work anymore or are cracked and broken

Not to mention the fact it needs a re-paint... my Jeep was lower maintenance than this

So.... Update on this. Rear AC is working fine .Apparently I had a blonde moment and forgot about the controller panel in the front overhead console. It was switched to off *facepalm
