What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

I was prompted to update my windshield wiper arms after a few recent posts. A few years ago I picked up a couple that I got off a Upull Suburban, 2001 I think it was. [ @Sam Harris remember that trip? ] They've been sitting in the garage and I forget about them until it's time to clear snow off the windshield, then it's too late to make it happen, so the recent reminders were good. The problem with the OE ones for my year is that, when cleaning or washing the windshield, I can't pull them up from the windshield more than 4 or 5 inches, and they won't "rest" in any position off the windshield.

I sanded and painted them earlier this week and installed them yesterday. Here's the difference between the older style and the new (2004 GM OE new on top; note the large hump that stops the arm from being able to get far above the windshield. I'm not sure why GM thought this would be a good design change). I can't tell if the hump is solid and could be ground down, or if that would leave a hole. Other than that hump, there's no difference between the two years. Both arms had two squirters on the DS and only one on the passenger side.

Now I'll be able to pull the wiper arms up off the windshield and they'll stay. A small win, but a very functional win.

First very long drive since I bought her after upgrading exterior lighting.

I know it may not be the look everyone loves, but i absolutely love this Tahoe. She looks damn good for having nearly 250K! View attachment 430657

This past Saturday/Sunday I bought a set of 275/65R20 Michelin Defenders with about 50-60% tread left. I picked up these wheels (used) on Sunday:

Monday I had the tires mounted to the rims and the whole lot balanced, and Tuesday I delivered them to the gentleman modifying my 2500HD.

I'm still looking for center caps for the above, for less than $50 each!!! No luck so far. I'm also looking at clones, but even they are still $50 each. And I need one, 2 would be better, and a full set would be preferred. I only got three caps with the rims, one of which does not have a center section, and none of which did I get the bolts to hold them in.

I also asked him to look at the horrible job that had been on my daughter's Sierra; the passenger side door just does not fit the cab correctly. We've had it back to the body shop three times. So now I need to find a shop to actually do it right.
