Ran air hose to both front and rear bumpers. Ended up installing a RedArc 50amp DC to DC charger (BCDC50) to charge a 100ah BattleBorn Lithium battery. Used a Victron shunt and Battery Monitor (BMV) connected to a Victron GlobalLink 520 for cellular updates to monitor battery/charge status...

Some other upgrades and maintenance over the past couple years...... New banks rear diff cover I won from a. raffle. Pretty slick unit. Mounted some rear bumper reverse lights... Gave it a good cleaning/waxing but this was 2 years ago. time to do it again. Looks pretty decent for 20...

Sorry life got busy. I'll try to bring you current. Immediately after getting the roof top tent installed, we headed down the Oregon coast and got rained on the entire way back to CA. Dried it out once we got home. Took a trip to Lake Tahoe for our anniversary..... Made it to the...

Now were getting to the fun stuff.... With a Roof top tent comes a bit of weight on the roof, which usually involves a better roof rack, and with the clear coat starting to peel its time to address that before it gets too bad. First up: color matched line-x with UV protectant on roof...

After selling the RV the wife and I were trying to figure out what's next. We still like camping but I despise pitching a tent. so naturally Roof Top tent became the next idea. Wife was onboard -- maybe more than me. So then the prep work began as well as some maintenance/repairs. First...

I realized it's been quite a while since I started this thread. I haven't done much exploring per se more putting it to work towing trailers and family road trips. I did do a little overlanding trip a couple years back... Finally got the winch mounted (Warn M12000) Did an overland camping...

@NavyGator is that a fully custom rack or did you use a rack off the shelf and modify to fit? It looks really good. Almost like it was made specifically for that body style.

Sweet rig. Congrats. At 200k miles I assume they’ve either had motor work done or disabled the AFM. I’d be surprised if it hasn’t. Either way might be something to look into. I haven’t had any first hand experience but there’s a lot of people with reported trouble with AFM. Just something to...

Congrats on the new truck. There’s plenty of folks using them as they are great platforms with impressive capability out of the box. Sure the aftermarket guys seem to focus on Jeep’s and Toyota’s. But With a little creativity you can outfit your truck and improve it’s capability for far less $$...

Or it was wrecked and they took the opportunity to swap it. [emoji2369] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Agreed that’s a lot for a 1/2 ton. That’s getting into K2500 territory. And yes that front end came on Suburban’s and Tahoe’s for the Mexico market. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Unless you have a strong need for a pickup, the DuraBurb route is damn near perfect. I think you’ll enjoy the hell of out of it. Keep us posted of the progress. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Check out a gmt800 suburban 2000-2006. Also I find that the GMC version (Yukon xl) is sometimes cheaper than the suburban. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Honestly all of that for $100 seems wrong. I’ve never used 1aauto for anything other than their YouTube videos which are helpful. I’m used to Moog quality parts or oem that seem to last at least 100k or more (~$350). If you need stronger components there’s a number of options but I would be very...
