Onebad1983's 02 NBS Tahoe Slow Build

[Onebad1983]

Oh man!! Glad you are ok. Sorry for the Tahoe, but grateful for the Tahoe to take a hit on the nose and you walk away without major injuries. NBS did its job.

Probably can't say the same about the new Tahoe I'm sure. I'll sure be sad to see her go. I'll get some more pictures of the damage when I go up to my parents' shop today. As you might have guessed, there were quite a few tears shed when the initial shock wore off and I actually got out to look at the damage

And this is how the jackasses over on GMFS reacted....

No wonder the frame was bent- it looks like it was a direct hit to the tow hook, which is bolted to the frame, so the brunt of the force was focused on that right front frame rail.

Gonna get another one?


If it were mine and just for the hell of it, I'd put a chain on the tow hook, wrap it down low around a big tree and goose it in reverse a few times to see if I could pull it back out any.

I like the “Light Pole Mod” comment!

Kind of like when I took out a deer with my truck and folks said I went hunting with my “30 Ought Truck”

On another hand, I guess I'm going to start parting out the Tahoe to help save up some decent amount of money for another car, I have no clue what it's going to be, maybe a 2005-2010 Chrysler 300 with a HEMI. I would absolutely love to have another NBS SUV, but I don't know if that's going to happen

Those guys are literally just a bunch of internet assholes that don't care

Why not? You could probably find one for a decent deal and just swap parts over as time allows.

It did take a direct hit to the tow hook. It almost ripped the mount for the transfer case off of the inside frame rail
