So its been a while! Was doing a bit of traveling for the rest of the winter for snowboarding. But right before that, Miniorf and I headed to canyonlands to do the white rim trail, all 111miles of it in his tacoma and on my 1983 xr350. Highly recommend that one if you haven't done it. Heres a...

Always a fan of hitting Jalama to surf on my way south. Looks like one hell of a trip and you got the perfect rig for the job! Keep em comin

The wait will be worth it. Incredible thread!

Reba is looking incredible! Just fell in love with the red paint and black wheels. Cant wait to see more!

Ill have to look at my google photos page again and see if i cant get the right image address so the bigger sizes work when I embed them.. Any one else have trouble getting google photos to embed? Until I fix it here are the ones that didnt come up last time. Still working through...

always a pleasure Judd. Can anyone let me know if those photos are working now?

jscusmcvet, it was a little nerve racking thats for sure. I used the circular saw to get most of the way then scored through with a blade. Didnt do any damage to the shell though. Rayra youre absolutely right. could have done it a much cleaner way and wish I had an air compressor. The idea was...

Thanks for the replies Rayra and dratwagon. Ive been trying to get busy anytime i have a minute. Never enough in the day though. Drat Im learning now that you are right on using more glass. I ended up doing a layup with the 8oz cloth then another with the 4 right after and should have gone with...

Love the natural tree artifacts! Should be a beautiful interior. Always enjoy reading the progress keep it up!

A little more progress today. Finally finished the core mat layup. And very glad to be going back to cloth. Cutting each mat perfectly and then dealing with slivers for the corners was difficult at best. Im still not sure if this was the best decision, to use the 2mm core mat in the middle of...

Thanks Bushcoat, like i said slow but steady! John, I appreciate the wooden boat forum info though, some very experienced guys on there and a very good resource. I seemed to have figured out my time constraints and should be good to do next layups anytime before 72 hours, especially with my...

Welcome Bronze. Lets see a photo of the soon to be ready for anything Yukon! Im in your boat with a newer suburban. Im interested on what route you would go with for the all black matte paint job.

Thanks John. So far so good with just a few little hiccups. I have been scouring the internet for an answer for a while now and hoping one of you might be able to help me out. System Three says that their resins will chemically bond up to 72 hours with a recoat. From their site: "When this...

John great progress on the burb! Just caught up; with the winch on, fridge and locker in and things are looking good! And I think you are right about the long trip capabilities of a suburban, especially with the family. I am comfortable driving 10-12 hours in mine, although it is newer yes, but...

Slow but Steady Chiliwak and Rayra, thanks for the comments and the advice. Always appreciated! Rayra, in terms of your question I was thinking rubber gasket on the topper, but may potentially have to go rubber on rubber, depending on the seal. In terms of glassing I will post the progress in...

Man I am envious of your new project! Loving this 91 already and agree with borison on the wheels. Very nice looking burban, I especially like the color. Will be great to see where you go with it.

So I wasnt able to do a ton of work one handed but I did make some progress over the last week or so as my wrist has finally healed "enough." I was able to belt sand all the corners smooth and all the rough spots and then I used wood filler to smooth out all the countersunk screws and mishaps...

Thank you for the replies! It was a hell of a trip and I had to write it down and get it out there. Truly an amazing country, and with all the risks and danger you hear about, we found it very safe. I always believe that when you are open and honest people see and respect that. Such was the case...

Hows it going guys. Wow! sorry for the massive delay here. So I had a pretty intensive knee surgery in the middle of the summer after I'd been gone for two months. One trip included a solo motorcycle ride from Boulder to Portland in Back over 2 weeks, 3000 miles, just on my 883cc sportster...

Wow just caught up to speed with your build here. Seriously incredible what you are able to come up with. By far one of the coolest builds I have seen! Love watching your process of making this a truly unique burban. Keep it coming man!
