    My 1989 Suburban with a Westfalia top grafted into it... also dual 360 swivel seats

    Oh and by the way (because folks always like debating this), Robert (RAK motorsports) and I argued for a while on the brakes for the rear axle. He wanted to do discs but the e-brakes with the eldorado brakes suck. So I voted for new drums. Robert had to use the backing plates off my of semi...

    Here's a shot showing the nice switch pod added to house the ARB switches (compressor, front and rear lockers). And here's the 14bff rear And the fresh 40 gallon tank

    Selling my overland ready built Suburban

    As a man who loves Square body suburbans, that is a NICE truck. And priced well. Good stuff, and good luck with the sale.

    Update. Truck now has complete rebuilt one tons. Front D60 with ARB and all the bells and whistles and a 14 bolt FF rear with ARB as well. Ran a dual ARB under the hood and with the big brakes and new hydroboost it has amazing brakes now!

    Why don't i see any Thule or Yakima boxes on Overland rigs?

    Ha! I didn't notice that weird sandbag. They were doing water main work on my street and those were there to catch runoff. Funny!

    The power steps are amazing. Led courtesy lights, can be removed with a couple bolts, and we put in a kill switch to keep them in the up position (in case I don't want them to deploy when the doors open). Also upgraded the braking to hydroboost (night and day difference, no joke), and added a...

    I don't think cutting one down would make any sense. What good is a vw tent that is too short to sleep in, and you need to make a custom tent for? Those tents are complex and expensive. I would dread making that custom. And if you took even 3 feet off of it, it would be super short heigh wise...

    You would need a really long topper. More than 8 feet by a lot. I also don't think a Fiberglas topper could take the weight when popped without flexing. But the limiting factor would be the length I would think.

    Sneak peek at the next project on the Suburban.... My kids and wife are too short to climb up easily, so we are customizing some AMP Research steps off a Dodge to lower when the doors open. They work crazy well!

    Mostly a rocket box with extras (clothes, extra stuff, maybe a stroller). Kid stuff.
