I used GM part number 15712438. They're soft, I'm pretty sure I compress them completely when I hit them. One day I'll have air bumps on this truck but for now they're doing their job.

The yellow foam is bonded to the cup as far as I can tell.

Here are some more recent ones.

Well it's been a while, time for a little update. Just in case anyone is paying attention. I finally got my winch installed and wired. It sat in a box in my garage for a year and a half... We went camping as often as possible over the summer, anything to get away from the miserable heat...

Stock 241 case yeah, but I've got 4.88 gears. There's been a time or two that a lower crawl ratio would have helped but for a majority of the wheeling I do, the stock low range is fine. Someday I'd like to swap in an atlas or an ORD magnum 205 but that's low priority.

After, I've got a few hundred miles on it since I did the king pins. Including about 50 dirt miles. Those photos were on Mormon wells road just north of Las Vegas. Overall, she runs great! I might still need some bigger fans (higher cfm rating, not actually larger) but otherwise I couldn't be...

So how about some pictures?

Here's a current one of my Suburban.

I never understood the purpose of blacking out the signal lights. I've seen a few trucks like that.

Well the front axle is all done and back together. We headed out to run a local trail called Mormon Wells road this morning. It's not a challenging trail, you can do it in a 2wd pickup but we all had a good time and enjoyed the scenery and weather. We started at 80* in the desert and by the time...

Plain old 3/4" plywood and 2x10s. I've been thinking about changing the platform setup, it's not entirely practical. The storage areas underneath are 64" deep and I lose things under it at times because I can't reach them, also the height makes it difficult to crawl in and out of the suburban...

Thank you man, I really appreciate that. She's pretty solid as it is, there will always be things I want to change but at this point it performs really well for what it is. I think about it every time I look at the Suburban haha! I've put almost no effort into it in the last 6 months, I've got a...

The following weekend we drove to San Diego for a concert, we took the Volkswagen, I won't bore you with that one. This past weekend we headed up to Hurricane Utah for the Winter 4x4 Jamboree. This was our first year at the jamboree and it certainly won't be our last. The event was very...

Seems like it's that time again, time to update this thread. It's been a while, I haven't done much to the suburban lately because I've been too busy doing things with the suburban. On New Year's day my wife and I loaded the dogs up in the suburban and headed out to do a little bit of exploring...

Hell yeah, I'd like to see some more photos on your rig, it looks great.
