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

[Chubbs]

Finally ordered some floor mats. Went with some cheapo Motor Trend "heavy duty" mats from Walmart. I know, I know...

I looked at the Rugged Ridges, and a bunch of other ones, but I couldn't justify spending that much for a piece of rubber. If I had a new Yukon it'd be a different story, but the truck is 17 years old, it's lucky it's getting anything new.

I'm looking for floor liners too. Craigslist Dallas is coming up squat. Several posts with pieces for newer Tahoes '12+ but they are asking like $200 something ridiculous..for USED floor mats!!

So over the past two days, I gave the Tahoe the "new" car maintenance it deserved:
- Trans fluid + filter
- Rear brake pads + 1 seized caliper
- Front and rear differential fluid
- Spark plugs
- Greased all Zerk fittings
- Toyed around with the dimmer switch, gauge cluster and rear window regulator

That's putting a dent in it. Did you have any trouble with the trans drain plug? I couldn't break mine loose with hand tools. Don't go putting a 12-point socket on that dude

So I removed the push bar and I really dislike the lower valance. I'm going to go back factory. I noticed that the hoop behind the grill has no paint on it. I will touch up all that while I have it apart.

I kind of like that lower valance. I've never heard of the regency edition. Is that valance part of that package?

I replaced my spark plug wires, cost me $25 on Amazon. Not too shabby

Next, I'm thinking about upgrading to 20 inch wheels and I seen Cadillac stock wheels/tires for $650. Is it a good deal?

Thats probably an ok deal, depends on condition, style, and tires?

Jacked up the front end to alleviate the load on the t-bars, and de-cranked them 2 1/2 turns each. Brought the front end down to 39 1/4" on each side, don't have any more room to lower them, the key is in contact with the bar that the bolt goes through on the passenger side.
Rear is still at 40" both sides, don't mind a little rake.... but absolutely HATE seeing 3"+ rake! Most FS Chevy/GMC pickups around here look assinine, unless they are the High Country edition.

Will most likely add the 3" Zone Body Lift I have before putting the 275/65/20 Falken Wildpeak's on, the BL will hide most of the rake. AND it will look badass, fender heights at 43" or so....

What style Escalade rims?

It's ridiculous.

Didn't even bother with it. Just loosened all the bolts but the 4 corners. Then loosened the front two and let it drip until it was manageable.

I guess I could have used my large breaker bar, but I figured the way I did it would be stress free too.

Ight. Your way doesn't sound too bad.
