What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[OBSandaNNBS]

Today? Not so much. But it is a work in progress.

Okay, I love that two-tone interior. I don't want to but I do.

 

[Dirty looks]

Oh really? Do you remember which manufacture?

buddy. I bought at seven, saw it on sale black Friday for 4 and now it's considerably higher.

Keep in mind, it's not a winch bumper. I made it in to one because I already had the hidden winch mount and didn't want to just scrap it.
It does come with a pretty decent skid plate.. which I modified to be flat under the winch. I already had the full skid set up from ASFIR.
It's almost like I can't leave shit alone...

The truck came with titanium (puke grey) and the beige that remains. I gutted a suburban for the black and split the door skins and put them back together.
One of a kind.. no factory option like that.

I had swapped the seats and carpet at this point but not the rest.
Nasty..

Any tips on combining the split door panel halves?

I thought that would be the story on the interior! (The swap)
I happen to like the puke gray. Mine is Ebony. I never liked a black interior until this car. Now I love it.
Anyway, the two-tone is sweet but way to much work for me. For now anyway...but I still need to know...

Also, just wondering, any plans for the faux wood trim? The ppv/z71 brushed trim would be SICK.

I just drilled the heads off the melted rivets the factory did and used some really good silicon glue/sealant to put them back together. Plenty of clamps till it dried. Seems to be working well.
Once all the fasteners are put back on instalation it's not going anywhere.
I'm sure there are better ways, but I'm a hack on a mission.

I did carbon fiber stick ons. I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane.

I've separated panels before-- not on a Tahoe/Suburban, but they're made pretty much the same way. I used silicone/adhesive along with small/short sheet metal screws with large heads. I put those screws where I drilled out the plastic rivets. Also used a few clamps to hold the pieces together until they dried. Came out great.

So I think my G80 is dying. It seemed to have locked and got stuck after hitting some ice in a parking lot this afternoon. Wheel was chirping trying to get around a corner at slow speed. Sooo thats neat.

Another fix to add to the spring list.

Appreciate it...I cant leave things alone either lol

mine tried to lock up on the wife, no ice just binding at low speed in a parking lot. shortly after I changed the fluid with some auto parts store stuff. they all seem to have some level of limiting slip additive. which I guess these hate. so I went to the dealer. paid extra for their formula for the vin and it never has done it again.

if you search very deep on Google. you'll find a few people have reported the issue with fluid with additive but seems 99% of. people never have a problem.

also I think I read somewhere that 25 to 30mph is what's needed to mechanically disable the locking. you might be OK their failure mode seem to be explode or not lock because of worn clutches.

It did unlock after I drove it home. Even did circles in a different parking lot no issue. It is due for a fluid change as well

Good luck on the sparkle-test.

Oh really? Do you remember which manufacture?

Here's the link, if you care: https://www.americantrucks.com/barr...ner-front-bumper-with-skid-plate-s112607.html

I want a steel bumper, but don't want to expose the entire front-end of my vehicle to road salt and spray from the vehicle in front of me. The one thing the goofy Yukon bumper cover does well is wrap a plastic bubble around all the hoses, wiring, steel, and other bits that would love to rust.

Next year I'm gonna pop the grill and bumper cover off before I get my rig undercoated... i pulled the spare tire, skid plates, and four fender liners off prior to the undercoating this year, and wish I had done more. The underside of my hood is getting crusty as frig around the latch.

If I do it in the dark and I dont see anything does that count as a pass?

Be careful. Messing around in the dark is how I ended up married..and divorced

 

[Charlie207]

Absolutely. It's just emotions, anyways.

the first time I did mine it was about the worst I've ever seen on the magnet on the cover for a rear end that wasn't howling. but 2 long tows and over 40k miles ago, it's still quiet. so eh. if it's not making noise, I wouldn't touch it at along as you don't see chunks of metal. Just the paste.
