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

[jaywoo65]

Stopped by the local Pick-N-Pull and picked up a rear seat handle. They got in a Suburban. They email me when they get new Tahoes/Suburbans/Yukons. I'm always on the lookout for stuff.

Also borrowed a friend's Matco scanner so I could do the ABS module self bleed. It worked great! My only complaint is that I had removed the master cylinder reservoir and cleaned it out. It was nice and pretty. Now it's dirty again. It's worth it. The brakes feel much better after the self bleed.

Should I start a build thread before I start doing a lot of mods over the summer?

Depends on the truck. I think they looked good on @Cattivo 's Rig

Agreed. Lifted yes. Lowered no. And soon to be set afire according to Cattivo though.

Did this over the weekend, but got the final step done today...
Installed my drop kit (2/4 at the moment) and Spohn rear suspension over the weekend. Kit is originally a 3/5 kit, but I didn't install the keys up front, and added a 1" spacer out back...
I wasn't sure how low the 5" drop would look so I played it safe and added the spacer. Now I'm tempted to remove it when I go back in to cut the bump stop bracket off (which I should've done when everything was off). Also thinking of adding the keys to bring the front down another inch.
My only concern is that this truck is my daily driver and I don't know how well it'll be as far as handling and rubbing.
I'll drive it like this for a month or so then decide what to do.
Got the alignment done today.
Those are 26" wheels on 30 series tires.

Before:

Install:

After:

Looks great. New wheels so much better.

Can't remember, but did you disassemble your mirrors when painting?

Absolutely. Every time I do something to mine, no matter how small, I regret having not started a thread already. I've got a bit of catching up to do.

Yes. Do it now to keep track.

Got my new side markers in today. I wasn't sure how I'd like the smoked look with the clear headlights (they're in great shape and likely won't be replaced anytime real soon), but I was surprised to find that I really like them. Definitely better than the cloudy, scratched up originals.

 

[MadDogDelpho]

Kickass. Thanks y'all.
