    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Hey! Before I owned this Rig a previous owner added some Led lights around it. As a result it has had no reverse lights. I found a strip of lights online and added them.The set has a red strip that I wired into the brake and also indicator.

    Just picked her up from the tyre shop! New 265 x 70 x 16. That is another drop of 2" from the 285 x 75 x 16 that I was previously running. Feels way smoother!!! :favorites37:

    Here we are. Just pulled her out of the cave. Bit of a rake but okay for now as is empty of petrol and no load in the rear. Keep in mind I am going to refit stock body mounts as currently on 2" lift and am going to drop 2" by changing from 285 x 75 x 16 to 265 x 70 x 16 tyre. After that I will...

    You know,I had the very same thought in mind! It will get used again when I rebush the front end. Cant believe how easy it was to change those keys out! Lol 1st check and I had it wound down 4"s!! 2 on the key and 2 on adjustment. She was rubbing in the front badly! Pretty happy at the moment...

    Bolts in. A brake line rolls past a bolt(bottom right). Was a mission to get the washer at the end of the bolt so to allow it past the line. Would hate to have crushed that!!will slip the nuts on and pull them through properly before I add washers and loctite.

    I have left the wheels on to see if I could pull it off without removing them and supported the diff with another couple of stands.

    Here I am with what I thought I should do. I have dropped the straps completely and supported the tank.Managed to move and angle the tank to allow me to thread the bolts through and I will loctite the nuts to them. Lol I drove it to almost empty. The tank strap bolts slackened off easy. Feeling...

    Just looking at the New McGaughy's hangers. Man they are a lot stronger than the stock hangers!! Guess that is because of the inversion of placement creating more stress!

    Okay so I've decided while I'm waiting on the unloading tool for the keys I would start the install on the hangers So far so good! Have chopped both old hangers off. Going to buzz the surface rust off and paint the area affected. While the paint dries I'm going to loosen the petrol tank straps...

    Yes I would have thought I could at least rent 1 here. I think if I had booked it in somewhere to get them fitted they would have the tools. Thanks for your thoughts on the bushes. I will take that knowledge on board and use when I do the replacement.
