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

Would love to see a write up on the leather seats ,......

Just disected the tan leather seats, made templates and bought some black leather. Very time consuming but worth every minute.

That's funny. You could have been in the posession of a perfectly reliable Tahoe this whole time.

Everybody should have a nice set of security bits on deck. Now you have a reason to purchase. No big deal, they have numerous app's

lol.... well, I've only been in possession of it since a couple weeks ago and the issue has only been going on about a week. No big deal really.

Damn, that's impressive af! I can barely sew a button on. Interior is lookin good! And I might have missed the post or forgot, but did you do black carpet too? I think that's coming up on my list soon.

Same here Jeff, sewing isn't one of my strong points either.....lol

Been a while since I updated, but that's because I got married, and went back to school. Haven't had time to do much more than keep it clean. In last two weeks, I changed both rear rotors (the old ones were warped from the time I bought the truck but used them until the pads were used up) and put on new pads and park-brake pads. And put LED lights in fogs, DRLs and a set of switchbacks in on the front signals. Didn't install the resistors right at the beginning, because I was in a hurry, but I installed them today. Everything works great, the lights look super nice, they switch off the clear light and only flash amber. But I've discovered a new problem now...


When the headlights are on, and the Signal is activated, it flashes amber once, then stays on. It goes back to clear on the front, but on the HUD and the mirror, the signal is activated. Is this just a matter of needing the LED compatible flasher module? If so, what one do we use, or does anyone have any experience with this?

Fixed the LED flasher issue with a new flasher control module

Then cut the resistors back off. No issues now.

Now when I unlock in the dark, I'm disgusted by how yellow the other lights are, so I guess I'll be doing a full LED conversion soon.

I saw a member on here a while back on IG that put an 02 Avalanche rear bumper on his ride and I thought it looked pretty cool...so I finally found one that was in pretty decent condition, painted it and mounted it last night. Definitely changed the look and not bad for $100 and some paint. I might put some LED reverse lights in it one of these days too.

That looks pretty awesome!
