    2000 Suburban K1500 budget low lift with 37"s

    Just to throw some gas on the fire here, the Hummer Racing H2s and H3s all ran the whole SCORE series on stock components (minus shocks) to win multiple races and points titles in its days. Those components weren’t swapped every race either. So while yes I agree stock isn’t the best for overall...

    Rough ride after KING Coilover install

    Wait, so you still have stock shocks in the rear? Or RC shocks in the rear? That would definitely contribute to a rougher ride if the shocks are fighting each other. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rough ride after KING Coilover install

    Did you over tighten the upper control arm bolts, thus binding the UCA? Everything I've read about the Kings in this application, is a great improvement in ride.

    1976 Chevy K20 - Retro Adventure Build

    Very nice truck! SB Chevy's are my favorite. I wish I could find a clean one like that around here. BTW, the Dirt Every Day guys just took a stock K20 like yours through the Rubicon with only a Warn winch as a modification (and some body damage).

    Why so few GM Builds?

    Turns out you don't even need aggressive tires to run the Rubicon, just a winch and some fortitude.

    Opinions on vehicle / sleeping arrangements for small family

    I don't have first hand experience with any of this but one thing that I thought about was my intention for being outdoors affected what route I want to take in my family camp setup. At first I wanted a RTT, but then realized that my ultimate goal for camping is to do off-road driving/trail...

    Spot - 2001 Chevrolet Suburban 2500

    Yeah these are good rigs, and designed to carry a lot of gear and armor plate. Truck's running great but unfortunately I'm going to sell it. I just couldn't get the mileage much higher than 13 mpg which wasn't going to work for me long term. Since the monthly fuel costs were going to kill me...

    Advice Needed:: Tacoma owner considering a ZR2

    The Cummins R2.8 does not come with everything you need to swap it in. You’ll need to provide your own cooling and inter cooling solutions though they do offer affordable recommendations like using an inter cooler from a pt cruiser. The most expensive piece is the adapters needed to mate it to...

    Advice Needed:: Tacoma owner considering a ZR2

    Really in the grand scheme no one should expect to buy a new vehicle and get exactly what they paid for it after a few years. Especially over even longer spans. Technology just changes too fast. My 2011 GMC Sierra is a pos when I compare it to my 2018 ZR2. Buy what you like and can afford. If...

    Who is going to the EXPO west??

    I'll be there tomorrow, maybe Sunday. Not camping though unfortunately

    2000 Suburban K1500 budget low lift with 37"s

    Never really been a "hater" of this project. The only thing I questioned in my mind was using those coil-overs for a "heavy" truck like this. Not that they couldn't work, just more how long they would last. And the upper shock mount not really being built to support the whole vehicle. But what...

    But then you wouldn't know it's a Warn winch.

    The Wanderers build

    That's what I assumed now to decide when to buy one.

    The Wanderers build

    Not sure if you've used a typical horizontal style bender (I assume you have), do you think there are any advantages to a vertical model like the rogue or others you can fab yourself?

    BAD AIM 2003 Z71 Suburban

    Interesting, yeah looking at the parts it's a completely different HVAC unit.

    BAD AIM 2003 Z71 Suburban

    Don't forget to replace the cabin air filter if you haven't already, that will free up some air flow if it hasn't been changed.

    Advice Needed:: Tacoma owner considering a ZR2

    Yes it is. On the V6 the Duramax badge isn't there. Normally not a fan of badges but this one really accents the hood well.

    2500HD Replacement Radiators - Is thinner better?

    I just bought a radiator for my 2500 as well and as you said it is thinner. I believe this is due to better cooling design methods so they could minimize material cost and weight. I don't doubt the cooling ability considering I believe they used this design on the gmt900 hd gas trucks as well...

    LS Swap, keep AC or buy aftermarket?

    You'd have to change the bracketry anyways to fit the stock compressor (since it mounts low and interferes with the frame rail) I think it would be easier in the long run to use a vintage air system. That's just my vote.
