Thanks for the info. Might be going with some duratrac 33s. Seems it would actually be best to go up to 17 in rims then the overall tire weight could go down a bit. Oh well, will stick with my 16in rims even though I love yours.

Great looking rig! Welcome to the family, nothing like the room of a burban! Surprised as well that theres no rub with the tires. Agree with Rayra that small lift would look great. Solid job with the work you've done.

Jelorian, How are you liking your tires after some time with them? Thinking about going up a size when I need new ones. Currently running the same all terrain size as the stock which are about 30.5 in diameter. Im wondering what gear ratios you got your truck with? Did you notice much loss in...

Wow, incredible job matching the vehicle. What kind of glue did you use for the carpet and where did you get the aluminum trim for the edges?

Rayra, Just re read/finished this thread to the end. Incredible work on this project. Its truly a masterpiece seeing it come together all at once. Your setbacks/mistakes are basically wiped clean away in the end result. Really liking the black carpet, hardwood finished ends/latches, and of...

To be honest I feel like my burb is a slug right now, even with my current tires. So if I did go up to 33s i feel like I would definitely have to re-gear with 4.10.. What are you rpms like at 75? I usually go 70-80 when I'm going long distances and am worried about running too high. And Geron...

Thanks for that info ark, Ill get in touch with them when the time is right! Geno, If i were to go up to 33s eventually would you recommend the 4.10? I feel like I would definitely want that gear ratio, but wondering how the 33s would be with my stock ratio and whether its worth it.. crazy...

Thanks for all the info everyone. Going to tackle this one slowly as I'm not driving a ton right now being the start of winter and all. Going to see if I cant get away with a cost effective fix for now but in the future may have to look into a 14 bolt. 800 bucks would be very worth the piece of...

Thanks for the help Alt-Alt. I agree, definitely going to try and rebalance both and replace other joint pretty when I can get back down there with some more $$$. Hoping to do a little day trip up above Rollinsville here in colorado this saturday. Suppose to be 70 down in the city.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I certainly had no intention of paying that much. After some consideration I drove down to Denver to see a mutual friend who has a small shop and he took a good look over everything and we decided to just replace the U joint and see if the problem got any better...

Glad you guys liked the updates and picks. Rayra, you know the views are my favorite part too, just couldn't deal with the whole sportsmobile 4 window limitation... Also nice work on the remodel! It looks killer, even for an IT background guy ha. Bummer about the flu though, nothing worse than...

Here are few photos from the road.. Somewhere in Nevada.. San Elijo state beach: This is probably my favorite part of the vehicle right now.. I take the bed extender piece and flip it over, putting the cushion on the storage bench below. The I have the hardwood side as a standing...

Dude! The Monstaliner job looks incredible! Really feeling the color now it changes everything.. and I like it. Do you notice the temp difference when you leave the car in the sun for a bit? The whole jobs seems like it actually is pretty feasible to do.. of course after seeing you pull it off...

Thanks for all the replies guys! Sorry I have been out in the world enjoying it a little too much and haven't checked in for a minute. Been all over the place lately. Ill try and get some more photos up soon. El Gordo thanks for the heads up with GM rocker! So far the toggle is working and...

So far so good with the roof weight! However I have already burnt out one actuator when the latch fell back on itself and held the side down and I couldn't see, it was dark as well. Wondering why the fuse didn't blow first but oh well already got the new one on the way. I was able to use the...

Any full body pics of the liner job yet Geno? Really want to see how that thing looks. Also theres a chance Ill be in the bay area with my rig in a couple weeks if you are around.

Hahah... not sure you could pay me to do it again. Thanks Geno! How'd the liner come out? Real curious to see that thing in all its new glory. Thanks trout! Actually not sure what the weight rating is for the roof? Anyone know? Right now I have the topper which is 130lbs and the the...

Cant believe that about the crash! What a bummer. At least you got in a hell of a lot in the burb before that. I very much share your mentality of just put it in 4 wheel lo and go. Mine is pretty much stock and the amount its able to do if you really take it easy it incredible. Great photos of...

Oh wow I guess I do have to update it. Although its never really finished! About to leave today for a two week road trip. Going from Boulder to Moab today, then salt lake and who knows where. Hoping to get to the coast though. Have to work a video shoot on the 10-20 of sept so may leave my...

Looked like an incredible trip upcruiser! Cant agree more with everything you have listed on the suburban. About to head to the southwest Utah myself and might have to make some arrangements to hit a few places you did. Awesome photos.
