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

Put a good 1133 miles on her driving from NY to Florida, now getting ready to drive the 2min to Seaworld from the timeshare with the kids. My little guy is soo excited he loves Dolphins.

@Pachanga02 How did that new brake upgrade treat you on the ride down south?

I actually didn't notice much of a difference. I noticed a big difference years ago when I did the swap from my stock brakes to the NNBS setup. Swapping from my stock NNBS setup to the R1 brake setup with their performance package of slotted/drilled rotors and pads wasn't crazy. Not sure if it was worth the money, or maybe when I upgraded years ago the pads and rotors I went with were same quality as these. Didn't have a chance to bleed the brakes since it was a last minute swap so maybe after I do that it'll change. I'll update when it's done.

worked on the headlights to take the haze out of them. Need to buy some 600 grit sand paper though only had 220 and 1500/2000

Last sunday I put back the front driveshaft and did not forget to put in place the rubberboot :

My Tahoe is now 4x4 again.

I have some custom mounted LED fogs which I have another thread on (you can see them in the pictures). I like them so much i decided to add a lightbar but I didnt want it to be very noticeable. I selected the location of the lower grill and decided to do a non-welded installation so anyone at home with simple hand tools could copy.

Here's the grill area in question, the lower plastic piece between the tow hooks.



Youll want to slide under the truck and remove the pushpins that hold it in.



Here it is on the ground



Here is what we are gonna replace it with, a 26" curved bar. Notice they are almost identical in size.



To install you will need some flat bar. I chose aluminum but steel would be ok also. You can buy this from Home depot for about $10 per piece. We will only need two small pieces.



For simplicity sake I chose a bolt that holds the tow hook to attach our bracket too. No reason to reinvent the wheel when the bolt is very close to the location of the lightbar. We will need to drill a mounting hole.



Based on location and angle the brackets need a 90 degree bend or so. Clamp it and just twist it with a pair of pliers.



Now they have final bends, cut to size, and a hole drill to mount the light to.



Here is an underside view:


Reattach the stock bolts, your brackets, and your new lightbar

Love the fog lights where did you get them from? And the bar looks clean too

Fogs can be had on ebay or amazon. They are 4inch in diameter and listed at 27w apiece, with 9 LEDs per light.

@01ssreda4 I like where you mounted the lightbar. I was thinking about putting one there.

Cleaned the headlights to remove some oxidation then I went to the car wash since it was right beside Zaxby's. Seemed to do a fair job
