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

[97audia4]

With race season being over on the east coast the Yuk has not really been driven for the past 3 months or so. Finally the dealer i ordered from got my my bike in stock last weekend. 10 inches of snow and 2 weeks of under 30 temps it started no issue. Picked the bike up and slipped putting it on the trailer due to the snow/ ice and cut my shin down to the bone on the foot peg. 2 hour drive home bleeding like a MF with hockey tape keeping it closed and Tractor trailer flips ice off and smashed the windshield in on me and wife.

Jesus Kripes all this Xmas drama damn...

Not intentionally, but they still did. It's a lefthand turn that is sharper than 90°, and the turn begins as you're still under the overpass. Due to the hill, you can't see what's ahead until after you've made the turn. There's also no lights. They have oversized guard rails cuz people that don't know that curve are always going too fast. There's all kinds of junk and car body parts piled up against the rails.

Thinking back on their stopped positions and where the debris was, it looks like they took the turn too fast and whatever large wooden framework-type thing they had rolled out, hit the guard rail and skid back into the road. It had already been hit by another truck and car since they were ahead of them on the side of the road. I was lucky number three and caught whatever remnants just right to slash my tire. The drivers of the first two vehicles looked to just be checking their tires and were fine so they left.

Sucks. Glad your spare came down okay and that you and your family weren’t hurt.

Got the other head cleaned up and assembled.

I did a waaay better job on this one.

Now i think i better redo the other head so i don't have an imbalance or something anoying.


And i have one head bolted down.
Used tie-down straps to pull the exhaust manifold out of the way to get a torque wrench in there.

The degrees thing...
Stretching the bolt should make up for minor imperfections i hope...


And i miss my hoe.
It's cold out, and our other cars don't warm our butts.


Merry Christmas all!

Had the opposite of a white Christmas here so we threw the mt bikes in the truck for a quick ride. While they do fit without issue, it's more awkward than I thought it'd be to put 2 full size mt bikes in without removing the front wheel.

Yup we has snow up until Christmas. Then it was 50s and rain now i have no snow but a swap and a small stream running down the side of my driveway which now it a sunken in mud pit. Idk how the wife will get her car out. My mud guards hit hard all the way down. Yay
