Those blue lights look great, how did you install those?Yeah, I was thinking these look bigger than the knobs on mine..
But they’d likely fit better on the overhead controls.. those look janky. OTOH, do the Esky knobs have a light provision..?
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Wish there was a way to also make the greenish display blue, too....

I bought a kit off eBay to switch the half-burned out incandescents to LEDs. It’s a little expensive tbh, for what they are, but I’m happy with the results. Did all the interior lights in blue LEDs, but after breaking my driver door, I haven’t finished the project.
There is.. with blue window tint. I still need to do this. A couple layers- maybe 3, and it will be blue, rather than the greenish tint.

Nothing exciting, just oil change and tire rotation today.

Looking good Sam. Makes me miss my all blue LED interior in my Tahoe. Just don’t have the energy to convert everything in my Yukon.I bought a kit off eBay to switch the half-burned out incandescents to LEDs.

Thanks! Yeah, I know the feeling. It’s a project. Lol. I did everything in the truck, except the door panels. Have all the LEDs, but need to pull panels and solder them in. The first one i did (driver door), ended up ok, but the LEDs could have been better (smd would be better than the standard ones). After I quit for a while, and also emailed the seller asking about smd’s for the door kits, he eventually changed them. I’m sure they’re much better, but I still need to do it..! I experimented with about 20 different smd’s myself, but didn’t find any that worked just right.

I REALLY want to do that LED conversion! I'm going to look into that....
But the other thing is, the buttons on my window, steering wheel and HVAC control unit are wearing, is there a way to refinish them to look new again instead of the lettering and such wearing off? Or do I have to buy a whole replacement unit? I sse these button replacements for the steering wheel controls, do they look and work ok? Anyone changed 'em? What about for the HVAC? I see a bunch of stickers and decals, but that isn't what I want.

I know the stickers work well for the NNBS rigs. You can’t even tell, if they’re done carefully. Not sure about our GMT800’s though. [emoji3166]

Threw some new wheels and tires on the Denali yesterday.

So question for you guys. My denali is lowered with the beltech kit (2" spindles in the front and 4" springs in the rear with the 1" spacer).
I've already replaced the upper and lower control arms with the professional line of moog parts along with inner and outer tie rods.
My issue is that I have now gone through and replaced both UCA already and noticed that the outter tie rod ends are busted.
The denali rides like shit and hits each bump hard even with the new 4600s and Pirelli tires
Anyone have recommendations for beefier UCA and tie rods that won't fail on me every 18 months
