Ray I took your advice and decided to get the stop limiter fully mounted on there before doing the canvas. Think your description is pretty accurate as to what would have happened. I did however tack the canvas up temporarily to test it out, little tight up there to say the least. May need to...

Awesome looking XL. Really nice being able to drive the road and not let it drive you! keep the posts coming.

The back came out great! Really like the wood finish. I'm debating exactly how to build out the back of mine right now and I like the lockbox idea for camera gear that you went with. Might have to building something like that. Have you thought about a solar shower. And by that I mean black 6 in...

Haha thanks, now to see if it actually fits up there with the canvas! So I actually tried that first with my dense foam but found the jig to allow a cleaner cut. The memory was too soft for both. Couldn't jig it, and sure as hell couldn't cut it with my serrated bread knife, was even a...

Jelorian your rig is looking mighty pretty! I will always be jealous of you guys with the z71's and gotta say I love the wheel/tire combo! If I were you I would put the rooftop tent in to the back and a small 4x4 rack in the front if it fits.

Gotme1 is that an extended rear bumper or something in the background? Really nice looking 'burb you got there! Since Im getting within a few weeks of fully completing mine heres a few pics with the topper..

Thanks Idasho! You know its hard to say before the canvas goes on. Right now I'd be a bit wary going over 10. However when that canvas is pulled taught all the way around, even with all windows down (for best viewing), I honestly think I could go 20mph without a problem. And will obviously...

Been busy chipping away but thought I would post some progress photos. Finally cut my cork board and put in my slider plastic to ease the lifts. Really like how this fits in. Was planning on fastening with more u brackets but thought it looked nice with just the ends and seems to hold very...

Glad you liked it. That ditch is in/was in Davenport CA right off the side of the 1. I just recently heard that it got destroyed though. Huge bummer if so.

Man that thing is looking sweet! Amazing what a little bit of TLC will do, new grill and wood refurbish looks great. Did you ever put in the wooden dash overlay?

Just read though this whole thread finally. Really great info in all these posts rayra. I appreciate the detailed photos as well as I will probably need to tackle a few of these things some day. Already paid for the knock sensor fix unfortunately. Interested to hear how the rest of the...

haha, wow that thing is half incredible half and going to be incredible. someone jump on it!

Cosmo, a little fast for me too. Always trying to get as much as I can while conserving film makes it too fast in places, but appreciate the comments guys! Gizzard, It actually made the drive fly by.. I pretty much counted my intervals and changed the pace by slowly adding or decreasing the...

Little carpet update. Years of salty wet surf and snowboard gear.. after pulling these I sanded them down a bit and coated them with some paint. Drying out. More sand than I can believe got down below there. All put back together.. After drying and giving each layer of carpet/insulation a...

Rayra, hilarious story but man what a pain in the a**! Lucky I don't think I'm in it that deep. The water didn't make it past the drop into the second row so what I did was pull the rear tie down tabs (which were almost unboltable due to rust), have already pulled the rear cargo area side trim...

I haven't. I chose my cut location based on the main cross bar support and left that intact. At the rear I left that one untouched as well, only cutting out two smaller supports in the middle. However bolting the uni strut in 5 places into the cross bar supports, and support ends where i cut has...

Wow talk about bringing the luxury anywhere you want. Props on the build.

Also, I finished the interior more or less. Here's a photo of it upside down. Now I could have tried to match the interior of the suburban with some grey headliner but I kinda thought what the hell, I'll live a little and add some color, so I used this blue watercolored sheet that somewhat...

Rayra the tower of power/accident waiting to happen looks pretty bada**! Nice work work getting it all put together without an adaptor. Thanks for this info Pntyrmvr.. Also just actually looked at your user name for the first time, hilarious... Anyway, It hadn't really occurred to me to seal...

Rayra and Pntyrmvr, good points. I have planned to use aluminum angle to sandwich the canvas to the vehicle and make that inside damn. And potentially also will make an outside wind/rain damn for in front of the seal. Not really worried either way because water that gets in will just hit the...
