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

[Rocket Man]

Took it in to the body shop to repair driver side door, lock, and ignition because some little ***** tried to steal it. Instead they just ended up with all my stereo equipment. Thankfully, they were nice and gentle about removing everything.

There's nothing I hate more than thieves. Hope it all works out for you.

Hope they get a high five in the face with a brick. That sucks. Does insurance cover it?

Had more fun today with my welder.
Took some measurements and narrowed the rear link pins 2" to get the bar flat and level with the rear end when it's on the ground.
I butt welded them and then for extra strength welded a sleeve over the two pieces, should be plenty strong enough or overkill... Whatever it was free so it saved me some cash.
I really need argon and more practice but so far it's been a fun learning experience!

Better look at close when its on the ground. Your sway bar may be resting or close to that Panhard bar bracket. If so, your about to have a terrible trampoline ride on the freeway.

On the way home at 80 on the freeway it was a solid ride however I will definitely double check! Thanks for the heads up man!!!

If it was solid you're probably okay. You'd know it if you weren't. It would feel like it had a pogo stick in that corner. Looks good man

Thanks Dan and that would have been an embarrassing ride so I'm glad it didn't happen!

Hahaha I only speak from experience

Got my Gibson exhaust on. After spraying the flange nuts the past 3 nights, install was easy-peasy. Nuts broke loose with nothing but a socket wrench. OEM exhaust cut with the reciprocating saw. New exhaust bolted up with ease. Sounds great without being noisy on the inside. Very happy with my purchase.

@SlowD That's why DJM makes the bent end links that relocate the swaybar 1" or so towards the passenger side. Even with them, mine barely clears. Good thing you got lucky there! Good job, welding is what I want to learn next.

It's funny because when I was welding I was thinking back on how I remember seeing the shortened bent ones and wondered why, makes total sense now and i would think it would have been noisey or a crappy ride like mentioned but it's not. If it's even close when I check then I will reweld an offset bar to the center of the link.
Thanks for the clarification!

If you do that, when you move the swaybar to the right you can reuse the stock hole locations for the U-clamps on the passenger side and on the driver side, move that clamp so the left side of it uses the right hole and then drill a new hole for the right side of the clamp and get a nut and bolt for that hole. It's a real ***** to get a wrench on that nut though. DJM has instructions on their website I believe.

Front driver side wheel is starting to squeak when I turn slowly under 5 mph. Pretty sure it's the wheel bearing not brake related. Any suggestions in brand or are they all the same?
