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

[GMC Denali Z71]

Nice addition and perfect use of that space on the Z71 racks.

They should have come with some form of lights like that had LEDs been more popular and reliable at the time like they are now. Nice work.

Thank you!

The morning I spent doing some attention to detail. Re-painted calipers and then hit up the rotors(which are only 8 months old but had a nice rust color to them) The new wheels show more behind so I couldn't let that be. Seeing how I had ambition today...I then spent 4 hours detailing it including clay bar,seal,wax, and rain-x. It is pouring out so no pics til the weather breaks...but here is the wheel detail anyway...

Did you tape the rotors up or spray the whole thing and how'd you do the calipers?

This time around I was a little lazy when it came to the calipers anyways. I just used plastic bags like from walmart to cover the rotor and sprayed the caliper(s). I didn't tape off the parts of the brake pads that show show the calipers like I did last time though. It still looks good. Maybe when I do a brake job next time I will completely remove the calipers and spray them.
As for the rotors-kinda the same thing but reversed. Cover the calipers after they are dry and spray the rotors. I did the fins and the hubs by the lugs. Don't worry about overspray on the rotor face-a few good stops and it is all gone. Just remember to hit up the rotors and calipers with brake cleaner first to remove all the dust so the paint sticks better...

Sounds good I'll probably do this when it warms up a bit

Thank you! There were only 3 for my front light bar, 2 for AUX, and 1 for Stabilitrak Traction Control before the rear LEDS, but now 8 in that little space.

Can we get a link to the lights since you say they fit well.

I used a 2 3/4 that went flush into the roof rack covers, then sealed it with silicone. Although everything went well, I don't recommend using a 2 3/4 bit. The lights fit and didn't go straight through, but they were not as tight as I wanted them to be(my mistake). I recommend measuring the lights yourself and choosing the drill bit that suits your liking. The lights measure at 2.75 flush into the hole and 2.65 at the lip before flush. It's better to have the light tight and an undersized hole then an oversized hole.

Thank you lol. You could probably pull one off at a salvage yard, probably $150-$200 or so. A buddy of mine got it for me for $190 in Maryland, I'm in Virginia. Let me know if you need any help or advice if you decide to install it.

I have a escalade one already. There's a few z71 racks at a salvage yard locally for about $100 each but the caddy rack is so clean looking

After 10 years of faithful service, I decided it was time I changed out my driver seat cushion, heating element, and leather cover. Cover was aftermarket at $195, cushion was OEM at $103, and heating element was OEM at $132.
