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

[BG1988]

Wasn’t today but, I got rear ended. Luckily for me he hit the hitch and just cracked the bumper near the opening for the hitch. And the paint damage. Oh, and the person driving was a 19 year old kid going to work at a dealership to fix the brakes, which also was a “friends car”. And by friend as in a side job with the only contact info was through snap chat. Oh and his insurance was not current. Oh and also he had a suspended license that he didn’t know about. Oh and the person that just bought the car also didn’t have insurance.

if that VW has a loan go after the lien holder.. they will have insurance to cover it( and will force them to pay for it the person who bought the car )


if it's paid off you will have to seize control of the title of the VW and have it sold at auction o pay for your damages

this is why I put a hitch on my SUV provides a a bit of extra protection or at least will cause catastrophic damage to the person that hits you


it will punch a hole threw the front end hopefully making contact with their engine block rending it useless




CHP or cops don't care about the hitch(they can't do anything about it since it's a pickup truck chassis GMT900 series and not a passenger car, only passenger cars it's illegal)

last time i checked Tahoe is running a body on frame pickup chassis GMT900

I HATE valet parking! Usually they'll steal your change and look through your $hit too.

I refuse to use valet parking unless it's rental car, not happening, if I have to park somewhere else and walk o'well so be it.

Get a dashcam

After getting to destination and noticing damage, review footage and find out what happenend. Most of todays cams have GPS co-ordinates and time/date on the footage.

2001 Yukon SLT
2012 Yukon Denali XL
2011 Yukon Denali RIP 5/20/18

I have a dashcam, and it always runs, Its just not worth it to pull the footage. There's no damage, the corners wouldn't pop out if the fender liners weren't already haggard. Bumpers been wacked on embankments from previous owner offroading it so hard up on logging roads hunting elk. Gonna have to get creative with some zip ties or maybe get new fender liners to fix the issue.

Zip ties and duct tape= Red Neck body shop lol. No offense. That stuff works wonders.

None taken! You wouldn't be able to see them. I think I'd only need them on the passenger side and you wouldn't be able to see them. At least its better than the self tappers the PO used. Just ran two of them from the fender liner to the lip on the bumper cover. Farmers man.

I wasn't referring to you with the comment, just struck me as funny lol. I used to drive 200 miles a day--100 miles each way for work, and I've had to use zip ties, duct tape, plastic bags, even a piece of garden hose to get me where I had to go. Once I even used those plastic zip tie handcuffs that cops use, to hold up my exhaust! Lol, lasted 80 miles til they melted through and the complete exhaust ripped off!!

Well after getting the new tires installed on the wheels i was finally able to get them installed

The old ones where 295’s. The new ones are 305’s. It really made a difference. Truck rides so much better

Ok got them scrubbed. I got 2 rims that are pickling ( soaking in vinegar ) here a picture of the junk yard find . I got 2 of the 4 painted with coat of rust reformer on back side . Front got a down to metal
Sanding and coat sandable primer it's drying tomorrow wet sanding and another coat of primer if needed before color . [emoji106]

Going with gloss black and coat clear coat . Should look pretty hardcore.

Steel wheels are must for max towing . And why destroy aluminum rims on a Minnesota winter.

What does soaking in vinegar do? Neutralizes the rust? Never heard of doing that before.

White vinegar will not neutralize the rust but will dissolve it. Helps get to bare metal.

 

[avalonandl]

But remember it's a in service Yukon XL . It will be a MAX towing machine. [emoji41][emoji106][emoji3] We're going to knock on the limits .. next week there going on .
Trailer being built it involves 3 -7000 pound axles.
We'll find the towing limits. [emoji106]

Let me know how it does. I will be towing my 2000 Donzi 35ZF to the storage yard in about 3 weeks. Its about 9500 lbs. The drive is about 30 miles....

I use Evap-o-rust, which they carry at Wal-Mart and Harbor Freight. Just let it soak for a few days and the rust is gone. Unlike acid, it doesn't touch the bare steel. The stuff is a bit expensive (~$10/gal), but can be reused a bunch of times.

Woodblocker- what year and drivetrain do your have?

 

[the_tool_man]

I FINALLY got my new wheels and tires mounted. They're Escalade Platinum edition 22s, custom powder coated a color I call hyper grey. The Caddy center caps will get replaced soon. And ignore how dirty the truck is. Now all I need to do is add lowness (and trim my bushes...sheesh!).

Looks perfect!
