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

Grady_Wilson · Jun 4, 2024

Since the Yukon rolled into town yesterday, this morning I got the chance to give it a quick wash since it was completely destroyed from being in Wyoming and then the 1,100 mile trip out here.
I need to buy more chrome polish to attack the wheels later.
The tube of MAAS that I had decided to separate so it's no good anymore.
Before and after pics.
And, they also did their best to help keep the bug population down.

And, I need to find a really good set of mudflaps.
Are the OEM ones the only real game in town or are there aftermarket sets that are better without being too obtrusive?

husky's, have had mine on for about 6-7 years now, zero issues
the front's you can mount pretty easily by turning the wheels I also added a couple metal backed clips just for extra rigidity
the rear is a tight spot it can be done without taking the wheels off but I took my time and had the wheels off just made it 100x easier
the husky have extra mounting holes so I just drilled the plastic wheel shroud to utulize the extra mounts
they work great for keeping the mud from slinging up to the windows.
design flaw by gm, the gmt800's never had that issue

Yup the husky ones are nice, and this tool makes it a lot easier as well.

they originally came with a stick on clear plastic protective tape that is supposed to "protect" the paint where they mount, but I don't recomend using the tape it discolors after a while and does more damage taking it off than it does installed

I have a similar attachment from Porter Cable.
Nice to have a heads up so I can have it handy when I do the install. :thumbsup:

Looking at the pictures of your wheels and mudflaps, it reminded me that I have been wanting to paint the GMC logo red on the lug nut covers to match the body emblems.
I was thinking of using model paint but I wasn't sure how UV resistant it would be.

And, thanks for the suggestion of going with the Husky mudflaps.

I have the Husky's also - I made my purchase on the recommendation of @Charlie207

I have the Huskys also. The fronts keep snow from building up on the running board under the door. You can see them in my sig pic

I have black GMC logos front and rear and when I got my newer wheels I got center caps with the black GMC on them
