The drive north was beautiful and we even shared it with our new pet that we bought in the market for $2.50: How most of the landscape looked: We stopped in Essaouira for lunch and continued onwards only have a few hours of daylight left. A fallen water tower maybe? Finally by late...

So obviously this is not your typical overland report. But Im going to fill you guys in on how the next four days went anyway. By turning on my cell service the next day and surely accruing massive fees, I was able to get Omar on the phone. It turns out that he had just not taken my passport...

Neither have I, but well done! Would love to be able to get around Venezuela in that thing! Got any trail photos?

Over the course of this 4-day journey I shot 3 rolls of super 8 film to document the country and our interaction with it and its people. This is the film from that time. But first, a little background to how we got there and got ourselves into this little overland adventure: So about 2 years...

Dratwagon, I had been looking for that thread. Thanks for finding it. Love that design and the fabrication is really well done. Honestly though I think that I would want a little more room up top. Some great ideas for mounting though, as well as reinforcing my cut out roof. when and if i get...

Just re-read your whole thread here again. Incredible job putting everything together! And looks like the reinforced angle iron did the trick for keeping the structural integrity of the roof. Ive been trying to figure out where I saw the swivel seats on here, its one of the better, most...

Rayra, You have some beautiful pieces on your flickr! really nice designs too, I enjoyed browsing through them; may have even gotten an idea or two for a coffee table ha. And I appreciate the advice before I actually fully jumped into this. It has been a concern of mine from the beginning. I...

Rayra, the plan is to cover it with 1/4" Birch but yes essentially its all intended to be glassed over. Do you really think I'm going to run into warping issues with this intended route? Anyone else agree here? I would have liked to have gone metal but I have always been much better at working...

Dratwagon, your wisdom is highly appreciated. Im not sure if I would have realized to do the first layers on the truck, great advice! And definitely planning on sanding all corners/sides to make it easier on myself... not to mention I'll like the look. Packing for a little Moab trip this...

Thanks for the replies, Fault_tolerance, I did remove the stock roof rack but only to take measurements and fit the top on properly. My plan is to reinstall them on the new roof with some new cross bars, and yes, potentially a nice thule. Glad were on the same boat in using what we have, ill...

I wanted to post a few photos of the work I did yesterday on the on the frame. I decided to use 2 10' sections of 1x6 for the sidewalls as I could cut out what i needed from one plank. I wanted to curve them slightly so it wouldn't look extremely boxy above the curved existing roof. For...

Great looking Tahoe! Love the swing arm tire and can mounts! Looking to do something similar.:elkgrin:

Thanks 02TahoeMD! 82fb I fully agree with you about wanting a 2500 and a burb that might last a little longer! Its been my biggest reservation. Anyone else agree with this? As of right now I just dont think I can commit to getting rid of thing though, I feel as though I have to ride this one...

I have been thinking for a while now about making a pop-top roof for my suburban so I can have an upper sleeping area above the vehicle and space for storage below. I finally got started on it so I figured I'd post the progress. Although I'm partial to the square body Suburbans I have a 2003...
