Geron, thanks for the reply I looked into the montsaliner and am very intrigued. Have you tested it on any panels yet? Seems like it might even be a better option for myself as its about a 1/4 of the cost and I can pick colors. What info did you find that makes you think its the most UV...
Love the idea of the roller. Cant tell you how often I've scrapped my receiver off the pavement/rocks. Keep us updated.
And great mod for the electrical connector. Mine has been zip tied somewhere up under there for a while as I ripped it clean off about a year after getting the vehicle. Dont...
Howd the welding go? Was thinking I might be needing a new bumper/hitch soon, mine is sagging quite a bit but cant figure out exactly why. Was going to try shimming down from the frame about 3/8-3/4" on the furthest bolt, and progressively moving forward. Just cant stand it sagging, especially...
Color Help
How's it going everyone. I went ahead and got the firestone airbags and will try and put them in sometime next week. Well see how they work, even thought about the compressor so that I could level the vehicle when camping, does anyone run a compressor with bags and does this work at...
Woof, really loving how the burb came together just re read the thread and gotta say very impressed. I was wondering about the bedliner and whether by now, if any of it has chipped off. Did you rough up the paint below?
Also what is the height of your platform, id always dismissed the idea too...
Looks like an incredible trip! Nothing beats the entire west coast loop from bc to mexico! Just always too much to do no matter if its 5 days or 5 weeks.
Rear Air bags?
Rayra, after much consideration I've decided to keep the design I'm going with. Your design would add the same amount of room if you were curious, I mocked it up, however definitely more supportive. The height I have now is 38 inches off the roof for a total of somewhere around...
Thanks for the info and thread on sound dampening/insulation. I have been thinking about different options to go and was thinking inch thick foam insulation anywhere I could get it, but perhaps i could add butyl rubber window flashing against the fiberglass underneath for even more. Ill check...
DB, I was wondering what your thoughts were on your white roof. Germans went white for a reason, Im just trying to see if I can outsmart them here. I got some info that might be helpful that i'll elaborate on.
But first;
Rayra, as usual yes you are right the scissor lift cross bars are just...
Its coming along great! The headliner and new LEDs really make a difference. You're putting it a lot of work but man is it going to be nice when you're done!
This is a great thread Rayra! just read through and noted some great ideas and may try and make my own poles now. Mainly love the hood attachment which would obviously work great for me on my suburban. Let me know what grill guard you end up getting as I am also looking for one as well and not...
Thanks for the replies guys!
You know the air wasn't all that hazy but maybe a little more than normal. Could have been a fire elsewhere or just a bit windy? The photo does make it look hazy though.
jrob. Thanks for the comment, definitley the hero shot, we rode this one back and forth a few...
Great looking Chevy Overado, welcome to the site! Also siked to see how the sliders turn out. I'm from the east coast as well but spend most of my time out west now. Too much to explore here.
Appreciate the replies guys.
db, I hope you know I took a lot of inspiration from your burban poptop. Still got the photo on my desktop. Love that thing! And I actually like the white on black you have but it helps that you have the original roof thats obviously white.
DD196, thanks for that...
How's it going everyone. Thought I'd share a couple photos from a "recent" trip to Canyonlands where myself, Miniorf and his custom Tacoma, and friend Cam traveled the white rim road. We did the trip over three days, taking our time to enjoy the scenery!
We rode the trail from west to east in...
What a come up with only 15,000 miles and at such a price! Great acquisition!
I'd agree with Rayra on starting from scratch for the bed, youll save some weight and space. Oh and find that brush guard on craigslist! It needs it back. Love these old burbans keep us updated.
