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

[mountie]

I hate when people do that and especially when there are cat tracks in the intersection that they don't follow.

Proof positive to have a front/rear dash cam. Those drivers are either idiots or jerks.

Different motives....

happens constantly right by my house, there are 2 turn lanes from a main street and then 2 turn lanes on to the onramp
and people f-k it up back to back, it's like no one ever taught them to drive.
then...... on the off ramp there is a dedicated lane so you do not have to stop, yet mf's stop and SIt there all the time. they stop and look like they have to merge but the lane does not merge........it goes for miles, no stop sign, no light..nothing

I just make sure when I am in lane 2 I watch the person in lane 1 and usually end having to over extend my turn to avoid getting hit and just hit the horn then they look at you like you are the one doing something wrong......
mf'r I'm driving a freakin bus and still got it right....

98% of public road drivers do not know how to drive. The rest are professionally trained ( semi's, chauffeur, quality driver training school- taught)
The most dangerous are the people who "think" they know how....but never cared to really learn, and any advise, is an insult to them.

Don’t be hatin’ on no special people.

Everyone...... Buy this book. Share it with friends & family.

It may look like race driving, but it is a life saver for the roads.
It's about car control. ( with some fun driving added )
" High Performance", in this book teaches your brain, not the gas peddle.

I flipped the struts back under the A arms with the Grade 9 hardware. No spacers. Dropped the front down another 2+". Camber is off but I used my home made toe plates to get her straight on toe. (Best thing I ever made, HUGE difference making fast toe adjustments.)

Test drive was very awesome. Also removed the front CV shafts and bolted the stub shafts back into the hubs. Previous fender measurement was 34" with the 2" drop spindles. Will see how she settles in and will work on the rear drop when time permits. Trying to make baby steps. I did some highway running and full lock turns in a parking lot at work. No rubbing so far. Will be ordering some shorter front sway bar links to bring that bar angle down a bit.

How those headlights working out for you

Looking at front brake pads on RA and noticed Wagner has ones that have solid abutment clips and clips with square holes. Why the difference and what years?

I use powerstops. F*** wagner

That is an awesome book. I first read it almost 40 years ago.

I learned to drive at a pretty young age and caught the speed bug. lol
we used to go out and race dune buggies in the desert, you didn't need a drivers license, tons of off-road 4x4 driving as well, then in washington state if you took drivers ed you could drive at 15 without a permit we had to do like 50 hours of supervised driving had the car with pedals on both sides so the teacher could hit the brakes or accelerate if needed.
the scariest part was having to "ride" in the backseat when someone else was driving lol

Cool !! Bob gave me his 1st edition, and signed it. He was very proud of it. That book was one of his life-wishes. I used that book as an autograph book, many legendary drivers in it.

Your last sentence...... Boy, do I agree !!

I remember there was this one kid named "Ned" and nobody wanted to go if Ned was going to have a turn driving, but I figured I needed to witness this first hand if he screwed it up lol, He was scared and hesitant but did ok, we survived.

Coaching young drivers...... I encourage to drive, " not like them" his friends..... You will find your friends will prefer to ride with you, because you make them feel safe.

Very good so far. Very happy with them.

Teen age drivers........ 75% of all driver-caused deaths are due to a failed maneuver in a turn.

A turn can be entering a curve, too fast in a curve, weather-related correction, or an accident avoidance gone badly , etc.
( Accident avoidance )...... #1... Steer away from the problem. ( steering actually slows the car a bit)
#2..... Then slow down, using your brakes - smoothly,...drive straight as possible toward the safer area.
#3...... If you suddenly see an animal, or even a human, blocking your safe direction, and a limited room to avoid ( is there a cliff? )....... HIT THE OBSTRUCTION..... Or, you and/also your passengers, will die!
#4..... Return home with your friends alive.
#5..... ( head on collisions ).... A driver, coming toward you, falls asleep.... swerves into YOUR lane. This wrong side of road driver suddenly wakes up, seeing your headlights. As you cross into the opposite lane to avoid them coming at you,..... they suddenly correct their driving and steers back into their correct lane...... Where you just steered into. Guess who is blamed for the head-on collision? You, because the crash is in the other lane.

You put leds or anything in the projectors yet?
