What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

You know that part you removed was part of the Rim structure

I like to live dangerously.






Look, I know GM's quality is getting lower with each generation. But, I firmly believe that my 5,000+ lb. SUV is supported by more than a couple pounds of dense foam and molded ABS plastic. I guess Chevrolet's cladded wheels are even weaker cuz they're only 5-spoke.

So, the de-clads clashed with the chrome trim, so I swapped the handles for some color-keyed ones:




The chrome handles are going on a buddy's Sierra. I'm also gonna trade him my chrome mirror caps for his black ones. I'll smooth and paint match them before snapping them on. Probably paint the grille at the same time.

No, it’s

Just like windshelds are part of the car structure (on modern vehicles )

No, it’s just plastic cladding. Not at all like a urethane-in-place windshield which is indeed part of the structure.

And the mods continue...one leads to another! Keep it up, looking better and better.

@iamdub Those de-clad's look great!

I've been wanting to find some different wheels for my Yukon but I simply can't find much I like. I haul all the time (28' travel trailer) so I'd prefer to stay 20" or smaller. And living in a rural area the car does go onto dirt and other types of roads. I simply don't care for much of what the aftermarket companies have to offer so those de-clad's look great to my eyes.
