Decided that I'd like to try using a narrow full length roof rack/cargo basket along side my roof top cargo box. From my initial research it looks like do have some options. Yakima makes the Skinnywarrior (MSRP $369) and an optional extension (MSRP $129) for larger vehicles. Together I'm...

Borrowed this image from Area52 (thanks). Can you purchase this accessory separately? I've always seen it sold with a hi-lift jack but never separately.

I made a similar post on Overlandbound. I've been doing research on the different traction aids that are out there and came across these by Speedmasters. I have no experience with these and no affiliation with the company. Just wanted to pass along some info. Currently they are currently...

I saw this in a video recently and it was the first time I saw anyone use a winch this way. Unfortunately I can't remember where I saw the video, but I do remember it was by a fairly well known website. Just wondering if this is standard technique or not normally done. There was a vehicle...

Do you guys carry only tools specific to your rigs or do you carry more (SAE vs Metric) in case you need to assist someone else on the trail? I carry just the basics right now. Space and weight shouldn't be too much of a concern being that most of us have full size rigs. However, I don't want...

After doing my recent GMT900 brake upgrade and snorkel I decided to make the quick 3 hour trip south from the SF Bay Area to Tumey Hills, CA. Happily a few friends decided to join me and we had a blast. Tumey Hills is BLM land and is very hilly scrub land that cattle ranchers use seasonally...

Not sure if this is the right section of the forums. Since I'll be adding more electronics to my rig, I want to also protect all the different connections and terminal points. I've heard of using die electric grease on terminals and connectors, but I've also heard of sprays that could do...

WARNING! Looong Post!! TL;DR - Installed a snorkel on my 2003 Suburban Z71. Pic above. So I finally got around to doing a snorkel install on my 2003 Suburban. The steps should be very similar across all of the various vehicles based on the GMT800 platform running the 5.3L V8. I'm not...

Definitely a very unique vehicle. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/5843378854.html

Not my rig, but I figured this would be great platform for someone. You all know how the military over builds their stuff. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/5714021592.html

Here is my build thread on my 2003 Chevy Suburban 1500 Z71. She's to be the family weekend mobile, but I'm still not sure if I want her to be our Overland rig. I bought her with 100,400 miles on 1/9/2015. She was bone stock and previously owned by an elderly couple who always brought her to...

Hey guys, I've decided that I would like to get a Gen 2.5 or Gen 3 for an Overland rig. I'm finding that there are bolt on goodies that the rest of the world enjoys, that aren't readily available here in the States. I'll be going to the Philippines on a scuba diving trip in April/May and was...

I've been searching for one for a while now and it seems that there aren't many options. Other than making one or buying an existing bumper and using the swing out tire carrier from somewhere else, there has to be someone out there. A one off from someone who knows what he's doing would work as...

Hello! Picked up a 2003 Chevy Suburban Z71 about a year ago. Bought to be primarily used as the family weekend vehicle. Love to go camping. She was bone stock when I got her and she currently has about 115k miles. I'm slowly building her up to be somewhat capable in the dirt but nothing...
