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

[05Single]

Nice. Hoping to do that soon as well as take out the amber corners. Have the retro stuff left over from my old Sierra that I never did, just gotta order the lights now


Also, rinsed the wheels off, made some ramps and started checking for a couple clunks I can't figure out

This is a tad off subject, half this thread is anyway, but for all y'all who feel the need to blackout your license plates in every pic posted, Read This

People block their license plate but forget they drive with it visible to hundreds and thousands of people everyday lol.
I professionally blur mine out half the time, half the time I don't.
I call out people when they put thier fingers in the pick covering up the plate when they post a pic like for sale. If you're that lazy about a pic imagine how lazy you are with your vehicle lmao. Plus if I buy the vehicle I'm going to see the plate anyway lol. Are you gonna cover it up while I'm next to the vehicle in person looking at it to buy until we sign papers ?
If you block it fine, just make it look presentable

If u wanna get super technical some plates actually have a county tag so you could actually narrow it down to a specific county in a specific state or if someone wanted to post a fake for sale ad and say to a perspective buyer "yeah yeah this is real run the plate number its registered to a blank blank (make & model)." Also someone who may be regularly posting on this site may not want their license plate coming up 100 times in google search.

And then there's this. $35k in upgrades

Notice the paint flaking off the chrome bumper.

I do want that grille and hood tho.

Lol they're awesome. Total of about 8" of rise there. Made them out of what was left of our deck after we tore it down for the new one. Mainly made them for servicing my wife's Odyssey because it's sketchy AF to put on stands thanks to the weird ass engine cradle

some quick pictures of the Radio install Saturday. If there is enough interest, I can make a write-up on it, it would of course be different for different head units, but the wiring principles would be the same.

Before :




with radio out, and lower "pockets" pulled out for USB and AUX install



USB and AUX install in cigarette lighter hole


routed backup cam wires along the harness for the brake lights, and up into the area behind lights. Punched a hole into the body inner panel to run the wire


and routed it out thought the hole for the sound dampner in the rear pillar tweeter

Part 2 :

Put the onstar mic inside the control box, and routed the new mic out in the same place :


CRUX wiring harness assembled and installed. Just had to match color to color, but had the diagrams for each open in front of me to make sure everything matched up



Here you can see the crimp connectors a bit better, also, I've done this kind of thing enough to know that you test EVERYTHING before you button it all up.


Everything closed up and finished


couple of notes :

1. I sealed the hole I put in the body with silicone, and made sure I laid a liberal amount to both inside and outside, and also made the cable sit in the middle of the silicone, instead of against the metal body
2. I grounded the ground wire for the reverse camera on the body behind the tail light. The power i ran off the reverse light with a tap in connector
3. I got the switch power for the radio to "switch" to the reverse cam from the green courtesy wire in the a pillar. This wire runs to the rear mirror to disable the auto dim when reverse is engaged. This may not work for all vehicles however.
4. Don't cut AV cable.
5. I used 3M super adhesive strip to connect the backup cam to the hole above the hitch receiver. I mounted it from the top, with a downward angle, and it works great.

So black bear performance is coming near my area may 5-7. I must have read about 10 threads on the tuning and decided it's well worth the money. Today I should be getting the money for my fender flares so that I can ship them tomorrow. With that money I will put down the $80 deposit. Hopefully they still have a spot open on Wednesday but I think they still do. All the reading about the tune has me really excited and what I look forward to the most is the sport mode since I tow nothing. I do need an opinion from a few who have gotten the tune, is there a big difference between 89 and 93 octane tunes that would justify spending $.30 more per gallon?
