One of our favorite beaches, always quiet, always amazing On the end of a dead end road

Figured I would share some images from our summer adventures. With the two boys so little still we still relied heavily upon the camper and basecamping. This is such a great way to travel and still get out and explore. With little people it makes life so much easier, and that equals less stress...

This is good info and I am glad I don't have to tear into the dash. That didn't sound fun. I haven't driven the truck a ton this winter but have noticed it still gets wonky every once in awhile but haven't dug into it yet. I picked up a work gig that has me traveling a couple of weeks a month so...

Yeah, I guess I have been slacking, I am traveling this week but will try to do an update here soon. I have a bunch of pics and some newly planned stuff for this spring. Planning on doing a long trip with it and the fam, sans camper and doing an RTT setup on it. I think the kids are getting old...

We were considering 900's as well as 800's when looking at Suburbans. Outside of the higher cost the main issues I had with the 900's was the perceived less spacious feel of the interior. The visibility and feel inside is a bit more compromised in the 900's therefore, for the size, the storage...

Yeah the link I shared shows it to require a good portion of the dash removed to even get to them.

I was reading up this morning about how you can try to reset them by unhooking the battery for ten minutes and see if they reset. The procedure to replace them looks pretty intensive in regards to removing and disassembling the dashboard. Hope the reset works.

Ok, haven't had a chance to investigate it yet but having an issue this week where randomly the heat in the front comes on full when the temp settings are cold. Only stops after I restart the car when it happens. I don't have the auto climate control (avoided it as I heard they could be...

That is stock ride height in the rear? Huh, looks higher to me, must be the pic. My front end still seems pretty tight, a little vagueness on center, and it has 150,000 miles on it now. My plan is to do essentially what you have done in the front when the time comes. I feel like that will take...

I had Duratracs on our FJ Cruiser when we lived in Vail. I thought they worked better than the older model BFG AT's I had on my Discovery when I lived in Evergreen. The AT's were the snow rated ones. The Duratracs seemed to have better siping. They weren't loud at all new, but got louder as they...

What is your suspension setup? That looks like the ride height I want right there.

Nice rig, jealous of the 8.1, can't imagine how easy that toes your setup. I want to say we were going around 250 miles between fill ups and I was trying to not go below a 1/4 tank so that I wasn't causing heat on the fuel pump. It varied on terrain, wind direction, and whether we were on 2 lane...

No ther way! Especially if the vehicle is a daily driver. Nothing worse than driving around with 100's of pounds of extra gear daily if you don't need to. Or if your camping/packing needs vary wildly from trip to trip.

Rides great now that I installed the Bilsteins. I think D load range tires aid as well. I run 40-45 psi for street pressure unloaded. 50-55 psi towing, and 25-35 psi when travelling in the dirt. Having onboard air is key otherwise I found the side to side movements in rough terrain to be a bit...

My wife and I both grew up on the Leelanau peninsula near Traverse, yeah I have a hard time promoting the UP because we see what happened to the areas we loved growing up and the numbers of people there now. I fear for when all my favorite remote, undeveloped stretches of coast start seeing more...

Just for reference, my '04 Suburban 2500 on 33's with 4.10 gears and the 6.0 gets around 14 on the highway if I am taking it easy, 15 tops. Around town it sees 10. Beware of blanket statements like Chevy's are garbage. Great drivetrains, no issues with the 2500's and there are great products...

Southern Utah is one of my favorite places on earth, its the ying to the Upper Peninsula's Yang. Good stuff. It would take a lifetime to see most everything there.

Thanks, its nice to set things up modular. Especially for a daily driver. Put things in for a trip (I keep all my camping gear for this stuff in boxes and bags pretty much ready to go) then take them out after and have full function of a good street vehicle. Most folks' compromises to build a...

Thanks, yeah, the wet weather definitely made for an endless supply of cool photo ops, thats for sure. I wouldn't say I am brand loyal to any particular brand, though having grown up as a kid with my dad having an FJ40, a couple of Willys, a Volkswagen Thing, a first gen Bronco, and several...
