Sasquatch: '95 Suburban 6.5L TD 4x4 - Build Thread

Looking good so far! Taking a closer look at your pictures, I have a question...

Rear driver's quarterpanel, in front of the fuel filler door, is that a plug for shore power?

perfect combo all the way around.... white is such an excellent color for off-road adventures (which is why all my vehicles are black, I'm not perfect - nor are my vehicles).

How many miles? PMD relocation kit on it? how's the pump?

lol TRUTH. 26yrs and 300k+ mi I farted around in SoCal deserts in my white pickup, and now that I'm ready for some 'excursions' and a round of CA landscape tourism, I bought a black Sub. I already regret it, in 10weeks I've washed it more times than I washed my pickup in all of last year.

Indeed it is! I've also installed a solar panel and put the 2 unit battery bank where the spare tire was. "That is why I HAVE to get a custom rear bumper," he said convincingly to his wife.

Yum, sliders!

I have two black Suburbans. Stealthy x 2.
Looks nice would love to have a diesel just for grins.

It's been a long time since I've owned a black vehicle. They look great though when they're kept up.

My, what a large tire you have! Seriously, great looking, well equipped wagon.

 

[Gigantor]

Solar!

I'm not completely finished with the box, doubling as my son's chair. And not sure yet how I want/need to hook up the Viair compressor. Enough power to run my block heater for 3 hours or a tail-gate party for X hours!?!

Funded by one tax payer's dollars.... mine!

Great:Wow1: looking set-up Gig. That `Burb´looks like it is ready and able for a long trip. The bumper and slider looks very well executed. :droolid you do the fab work? Thanks for posting as we all love lots of pics. Cheers, Chilli..

Looking great! I love to see another 6.5L diesel being cared for out there. I've got 288K miles on mine, and other than several PMD's, nothing more than general maintenance has been needed!

Awesome to hear about you guys putting high mileage on the 6.5L TD. I plan to keep mine for a long time!

I wish I could do this type of fabrication! I could probably have pulled if the rock sliders but not the bumper.
