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

[Sam Harris]

Had myself a good fucky wucky

Was talking on the phone in the car earlier tonight

Had engine off, on accessory, chit chatting

Got out of the car, locked car w/ fob, forgot to take key out. Stillllll on accessory

Fast forward to 1am

Go to drive off

Can't find my key

The oh shit **** moment dawns on me

Keys still in the car

Great.

Go out, try to unlock it.

Battery is shit ******* dead. Can't get into the car. I could unlock it if I had my key, but it's locked in the car

WOOOO


So I return to get a knife and a spatula to finaggle open my hood latch

Dog flips shit when I leave and has a panic attack

Need to calm her down

Get her cool, give her a pig ear, take off

**** up the knife on the hood latch

Need to take a different approach

Go back to the room. Pig ear 1/4 gone. On the clock now. Grab my break-in shit

With the help of a nice, though confused passerby directing me, I manage to finaggle my way into the car, get the door unlocked, and get the hood open

Hook up my jump box

"tick tick tick tick"

Nope. Jump box is too small

**** me

Crawl into the trunk, get my jumper cables.

No one around

Go stand in the middle of the intersection, cables in hand, waiting for someone to drop by

They crack a "you're not going to murder me, right?" joke.

I get a jump and yeetlereedoo on out of there

****** start to the day. So you locked it manually with the door switch? Or, I guess you keep the key separate from the fob..?

Spare key in the 19 year old wallet trick.

Tape a spare key on the back of your license plate

I have a ton of keys on my keychain. I keep the ignition key on a little clasp so I can avoid having a fist sized ball of keys dangling around when driving. Makes it easy to keep it running in the winter, use my fob to lock it, and walk off too

I put the Esky roof rack on the Yukon and not sure how I feel about it. Thought I'd like it more but at the moment it seems a little to much 'look at me' with the chrome. But at the same time I do like the clean lines

I hope it doesn’t poke a hole in the ******

Turned the stock keys 2 more turns passenger side, and 3 more driver side. Now between 36.5-37” from ground to wheel well lip on all 4 corners. Replaced jounce stops with new ones, but the energy suspension spacers I bought are too tall, so returning those for 1/4” spacers. Replaced just pads on the front brakes, since I’ll be doing the NNBS brake upgrade after I wear out my tires. Added BG ATC Plus to the transmission, hoping to get enough out of it while I save for my swap.. Alignment tomorrow..

Energy suspension spacers? Can you provide a link please?

These are the new ones, 1/4”: Energy Suspension 9.9132R ULTRA... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IZKDEY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share


The 1” ones I returned: Energy Suspension 9.9116R 1" TALL... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0018LMSBO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share


This is just to fill the very small gap where the jounce stops don’t touch.

Why does the Tahoe look so much lower in the 2nd pic? Do the wheels make that much difference in fenderwell gap?
