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

[OhFourChevy]

Houston weather is blistering, but I got everything done in preparation for my q-logic factory fit subwoofer enclosure to get here monday.

LED interior bulbs
LED white reverse bulbs, LED Amber DRL, LED amber turns and side markers
It's too late for the DRL to come on, with the tint I just put on 20% over everything. So about 15% up front and about 7% in the back 5 windows MP audio on 1960 for anyone in houston, they did my whole truck tinted for $180, Great work for a great price. I usually get all my audio work done there, but I'm doing this one myself.

Got my Pioneer GM-D8601mounted on mdf on under the 40 side of 2nd row bench
4ga wires ran, 12ga for the sub.

Ran my esky Ec170 backup cam, although I've gotta pull the video cable out and put in a different place I guess because I can't get it to come on automatically or at all for that case, I wired it to the driver side reverse light, then ran the video cable up to the back of my AVH-X2800bs, I don't know if it's not supposed to be in RC-In where I placed it or Video-In/out. So if anyone knows that answer it would be cool if ya share!

Here's some pics!

Here's what she used to look like. I took this picture the night she was stolen. View attachment 64466

Damn. I hate thieves.

Sorry to hear that man. People disgust me. What are your plans for it now??

Insurance claimed a total loss so they paid me for it. Time to shop for a new one

 

[Chevyboy]

Do you have a lift kit on it?

No, I just had ford keys on it

Can you buy it back from the insurance company?

Was having a good day, this right here just ruined it... I'm pissed off and it's not even my ride. People are evil, they'll get what's coming to them.

I used to dislike the silver/black look but it's really growing on me.

I've been thinking about doing the same thing with my plastic moldings. But using matte black plastic trim and bumper paint, and use tintable bedliner on the step rails and match it to the paint.

I've used Krylon Fusion for the black plastic pieces and it's held up perfect for a year and a half so far. It's made specifically for plastic.

Installed new AC Delco plugs today to see if my random misfire was caused by the NGK Iridium plugs I installed a couple months ago. I used my new 1" SK extension to do #8 with and it worked like a charm- total time was probably 1/2 hour. Last time it took me an hour to do #8 alone.

Edit: if anyone wants to clean their leather, I was checking out the Seat Shop videos and saw the one where they use Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner. I got awesome results today; the 14-year old backs cleaned up so well they look exactly like the 2-yesr old bottoms and now the colors match exactly. It even got rid of the shiny look on the old parts.

Not today but a couple days ago - dropped 700 bucks (ouch) on new cats, plugs and wires to cure a lack of POWWAHH on the highway. It would downshift one too many gears when hitting a hill on cruise control, and you could just tell all the HP was not there. Turns out one cat was almost totally plugged, yeah that would rob some power LOL

Thing runs possibly better than new now

I did the same thing when I replaced the arm rest. Amazing results like you said. When I was done, the whole seat matched the new arm rest.....who knew?

Not mine. Local guy selling his denali. Super clean but don't look right without the steps imo

It's funny, I can see some potential!
You would have to reshape the front bumper, shorten it up to the fog lights and also modify the body kit behind the rear wheels to taper in and shorten those as well.

One thing I can't get past is the Yukon headlights, the Denali lights are rounded to match the whole frond end so now it just looks off!



Anyways I was bored and due to a recent road trip the interior was pretty dirty so I spent a couple hours washing the exterior and cleaning up the interior, I will try Scrubbing Bubbles for sure this week!

Today I painted the plastic trim with gloss black krylon for plastic. After reading a few above posts I hope this will help guide some. Excuse the pictures, I used my front facing camera to avoid my horrid normal one.
The best before pictures I could find

here are some during

And the final result. The running boards are still drying so they aren't installed yet.

Changed oil, and got a new to me (junkyard) Air Bag front sensor. It wasn't the exact part # but it was identical, so I have it a whirl for 15.00. No more air bag light. Was also looking around underneath and noticed my tie rods. I posted this thread if anyone has any input I'd greatly appreciate it.

Was parked on a fairly steep incline yesterday. Noticed water dripping out of the tailgate. After looking around I found that the rear air box drain was clogged. Estimating a gallon of water or more came out.
