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

[new2yukon]

I like my husky weatherbeaters almost 3 years old now they do not slide or move at all, they still have all the little stubs on the bottom, I tried the weathertech and they folded in on me and then I tried some other brand and they did the same thing tossed both in the garbage, I have the captains chairs in the back and I do have the wethertechs in back but those do not have any part to fold in like the front ones plus I got a decent deal for the rear ones

What do u mean "folded in"? Plastic lost form and got soft?

Looks like they only make the classic style or regular floor mats for the nbs's
the classic style is basically the same thing but not the same "style" as the nnbs ones

Looks like weathertechs for me then. All good. I’m not getting the classic ones, hate anything with diamond plate look.

Did the following that took some time but needed to be done.

Replaced:

R&R gearbox with rebuilt.
Steering cooler
High pressure steering line
Idler arm
Idler bracket
Pitman arm
Inner tie rods
Outer tie rods


Serviced front brakes. Lubed pins. Fixed issue with pads not sliding correct in calipers.

Changed rear diff oil.
Changed frt diff oil.

These trucks take maintenance. And I still have more issues to fix or pay to fix....like pinion and axle seeping.

Sounds like a lot of work. Nice job

ya the outer high side edge looses it's form and bends/folds in, usually doesn't fold enough to cause a problem getting in/out or driving but just looks like shit with a big gap and deformation
eithere side will do it, these are just some random internet photos of some, the one I put a circle in isn't too bad yet but that upper part will start deforming also
i can confirm it happens I threw mine in the garbage about 2 months after buying them

Why in the hell do they make that part 4” high? Just reminds me why I hate rubber floor mats, glad I don’t have kids. Imo they all look tacky. I had the custom carpet ones made when I bought my carpet, and use Eagle Klaw hold downs. I have had to clean them a few times but they do the job, the carpet underneath still looks new. I work construction so I get them muddy at times, I just try my best to not track too much in. Every time I see Weatherbeater or Weathertech mats I cringe. Too much sacrifice in looks to be worth it to me.

I must have gotten lucky! I bought mine used and I have had them for almost 6 months. The pictures I posted were from last weekend and they are holding their shape much better than yours did.

I bought a used set that looked almost new. I just threw them in the garage right now since the Hoe is down. I hope I have the same luck as you do.

I added two wireless charging pads to the pocket in front of my console. Took the guts out of the pads and hot glued them to the bottom of the pocket. They are wired to a USB outlet. Only downside is the USB outlet is connected to my cigarette lighter circuit so it is constant hot (I don't know who decided that none of the outlets in these trucks would be key hot). If I notice it draining the battery I will probably wire in a relay. Sorry for the lack of pictures, but they are in this pocket. Charges even my work phone through a thick otterbox.

That’s a great idea.

 

[rgosart]

That’s a great idea.

Thanks! I preferred this spot over the top of the console lid. It is more convenient when you are driving.

I've wondered the same thing there is no reason for them to be that high it just makes them more prone to bending over if you ask me, I much prefer a set of liners over anything else if I spill any liquids it catches it all and there easy to just pull out wash off and put back, very little makes it under the outer edges. Plus it keeps me from making a hole in the carpet with my foot my heel has worn thru other mats before

Oh my. I'm so glad I didn't get those. I've had my eyes on them for a long time. Just couldn't part with the money.

They work awesome.

I have the husky “classic” ones all around. Don’t mind the pattern, and they work quite well. Had them for probably a year or so now.

 

[new2yukon]

My best friend and his buddy helped me. I need to name them big red and little red.

My late father in law used to say you're cool with the right tool. Well, I'm not cool but these are the best. Just got them last year. Oh my...what a blessing they are.

The little light is way better than you can imagine.

I have nothing in the second row -- they're usually folded -- but the same huskyliner in the cargo area as @Sam Harris, in black.

My front rows are these Lunds: https://www.lundtruck.com/lund-583002-b-catch-it-carpet-floor-mat-front

They're molded, very stiff, and don't move a bit. The carpet is not plush, but at least it's not slick plastic like some of the other liners, and they hose down good. I need a place to plant my left foot so it doesn't slip.
