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

Ok got them scrubbed. I got 2 rims that are pickling ( soaking in vinegar ) here a picture of the junk yard find . I got 2 of the 4 painted with coat of rust reformer on back side . Front got a down to metal
Sanding and coat sandable primer it's drying tomorrow wet sanding and another coat of primer if needed before color . [emoji106]

Going with gloss black and coat clear coat . Should look pretty hardcore.

Steel wheels are must for max towing . And why destroy aluminum rims on a Minnesota winter.

What does soaking in vinegar do? Neutralizes the rust? Never heard of doing that before.

White vinegar will not neutralize the rust but will dissolve it. Helps get to bare metal.

But remember it's a in service Yukon XL . It will be a MAX towing machine. [emoji41][emoji106][emoji3] We're going to knock on the limits .. next week there going on .
Trailer being built it involves 3 -7000 pound axles.
We'll find the towing limits. [emoji106]

Let me know how it does. I will be towing my 2000 Donzi 35ZF to the storage yard in about 3 weeks. Its about 9500 lbs. The drive is about 30 miles....

I use Evap-o-rust, which they carry at Wal-Mart and Harbor Freight. Just let it soak for a few days and the rust is gone. Unlike acid, it doesn't touch the bare steel. The stuff is a bit expensive (~$10/gal), but can be reused a bunch of times.

Woodblocker- what year and drivetrain do your have?

I FINALLY got my new wheels and tires mounted. They're Escalade Platinum edition 22s, custom powder coated a color I call hyper grey. The Caddy center caps will get replaced soon. And ignore how dirty the truck is. Now all I need to do is add lowness (and trim my bushes...sheesh!).

Looks perfect!
