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

[Sevenevez]

Here you go... It's surprisingly difficult to get a decent picture of the roof. The whole truck is actually wrapped.

A hint for the roof... Pull all four corners tight (have a helper!) and lay the vinyl down... You can then work the vinyl between the humps in the roof, if that make sense.

Looks great, man. I woulda thought that was paint if you didnt say otherwise. Nice job.

I watched my buddy use the Vvivid Black on his mustang. He also used 3M Knifeless Tape which i thought was pretty cool. you lay down the tape and then you just pull the strong filament line in the tape up to cut a perfect angle through the vinyl/wrap. I have never wrapped anything before. I'm more of a paint guy

Thanks for the compliment.

I use the heck out of that tape when I wrap something... It's great stuff.

I have also painted several cars in my lifetime... And then sanded them back down and taken them someplace for paint. I just don't have the skills for painting.

That's the pushbar I've been looking for.

Thanks a lot. I've wrapped several vehicles. I can tell you the first one didn't come out this good, lol. It just takes patience, practice, and lots of swearing.

I don't think I have that much patience. That looks great though.

That tape looks awesome!

Matte requires different care than satin or gloss and it's a real ***** in the long run

To roofrack, or not roofrack....damn you @Fosscore , some of your earlier pics where its all clean make me want to not have any rack or running boards, they look so damn clean like this

@inmypassatlife

Thx man. I toyed with no rack on both trucks, but ultimately I liked the contrast. Never had boards, even though the holes are there. And thankfully the Suburban has the power running boards so instant win with them tucked away.

Went for a 600 mile run up north in a snow storm. I changed my tires to Bridgestone duller ats before I left. Thank god I did. Just before I left. Looks calm but didn’t last long!-37 celcus so cold the fire didn’t want to stay lit ! Chilling over the frozen lakes edge beleave it or not there is 6 people under all this shit ! Definitely time for a suburban!!!

Truck ran like a champ. Took a tank up and a tank back mixed with 94 octane. It helped with the miliage and it worked. Although the farther north I went the colder it got and the mileage dropped to 12.5mpg. This morning when I left the truck barely turned over it was so cold. But she fired and all was good. I love the 4wheel drive ! It grabs like crazy and the new tire helps add to that also.

Who was it that painted the textured parts of the rear bumper and running boards?

@Bombsquad85

Not sure if you got this question answered. Best picture I could find at the moment. I gave them a good degrease and light sanding before hitting them with a couple coats of gloss black rattle can topped with a couple coats of clear and pushed them back on. Keeps the shine for a long time.

You know how to get them off right?
