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

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

Nice ramps but I'd probably want them to be a few inches wider than that.

Go for a full 12" width.

Test #2 today. Much more confident driving up this time. Doing the oil and filter change today and trying a different oil plug setup. Going to mow the lawn and let her cool down.

If I make some ramps, I’m planning on using 1 1/8” subfloor plywood. Lighter and stronger than 2x’s. It’s $75 for a 4’ x 8’ sheet and I’m pretty sure I could do it with one sheet.

Sounds good.

I did too.

Yeah I wanted to use 2 x 12's on top but I was on a budget. Always room for improvement later, this is a work in progress. I do wish I made the top landings a few inches longer so you can feel the truck start to level out and know you are near the stops.

Found a radar antenna on the windshield of theothertwin. Hidden by the mirror and eyebrow tint.

not radar, maybe some kind of RF antenna, might have been open a gate or something like that

It’s definitely a dipole antenna, 5” overall. That equates to roughly 1100MHz. The shorter elements are 2.75”, so roughly 2GHz.

Both are Very low on the spectrum for modern radar, also not directional front to rear. I believe door and gate operators are in the 300-400 MHz range.

Now I’m curious.

Could be a link/repeater for their on person/portable radio

Man what a difference so enjoyable under there now and easier to work. Love it.

It was horizontally oriented. I’d expect vertical for that purpose.
