Looks good, like the other wheels better, but these are clean too. Now needs some nobs on them like the wheels before.
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Other wheels were nice, but really showing their age from being up north in the salt. The Falken's will be swapped over to the new wheels once I get one to replace the one we destroyed on the trip down.

Color doesnt matter. Wattage is a matter of what the resistors are able to handle. 25w is enough. 39ohm is the resistance # that matters for this scenario apparently. I suspect through trial and error someone figured that out.

Just replaced my tierods because I had some clanking and popping sounds when I would turn. It got a little better but still there. Looked at my upper control arm ball joints and they look awful. One boot has a tear in it. So going to try to get those replaced soon. And i have decided I'm not going through with any of these ideas I've had of performance mods or any other mods, my final decision is to sadly sell the tahoe. I'm starting to see too many potential problems down the road. The front end suspension is shot, I've started to notice spots of oil on the ground where I park, I'm sure it's a seal but i just don't think it's worth the hassle. She's practically got a quarter million miles. Sure a new engine is only around 800-1k but don't think it's worth it to drop a new engine in it. So this spring I plan to put her up for sale asking 5k hoping to get 4K. This year while at school I'm going to get a job and save another 2-3k, to have around 5-6k for a down payment on a new truck. Looking at a 98-02 ram 2500, or an 07-13 Silverado 1500

I got up early and swapped out the modified torsion-bar keys & installed the shock extenders; my truck is leveled now. I called around to get some costs for tire mount & balance...$60-$80 and 1 place will charge extra to remove the 2 wheel locks. i haven't done it this way in a long time but I'm pretty sure that it only cost $20-$30 total back then. $60 for mounting + $90 for alignment,
I'm going to go return the torsion key tool, buy some Ejuice, & see how it rides. The cheapest quote that I have to mount/balance/align is @ a Chrysler dealership so I may have to roll as-is for a few days.
Tires mount&balance = $50
2" torsion key level = $45
Cooper 275x20 t/o's = $120
Alignment Monday = $70+
Then all it needs is 1.5" spacers in back & brakes x4

Dodge doesn't come without its front-end quirks. My cous' had a HD dodge that almost killed him & a family of 5 when a steering link came off or something while driving on the highway. I can't even think about it; seems like my worst nightmare. Stick with GM

Sorry, didn't see this. The clips, I mean.
I know the problems that come with that model of ram trucks, my dad owned an 02 for 12 years. Those issues are why I'm still undecided. What's keeping still interested in the ram is in the 12 years and 350k miles my dad had that truck it never hesitated to start. Those Cummins engines are tanks when it comes to reliability and that's what I'm looking for right now because the next thing I buy I want to last for a long time.
