Next I wanted to make room for a "real" fridge. So, all recovery gear was mounted to the roof in an old Pelican case I had laying around.

Time for an update. Given the new crazy California laws, I had to mount a gun safe to the truck for "legal" firearm storage. It tucked up under the bed and behind the fridge so not visible unless you know where to look. And yes, I know it can be opened with a screw driver but it does keep the...

sorry to see the destruction but great attitude. I'm sure it will be better when done

thats a great find

ya the battery is staying charged above 11 so my guess is something in the fridge. I heard back from Edgestar today and they are going to just ship out another and have me return this one. I was shocked at that kind of service but issue is solved.

So after all the research and reading through this thread I made the decision to purchase the FP63. So far I am really happy with it. I've been running it in the Suburban for the last two weeks. I have a separate RV battery with solar that it runs on and at night the battery has gotten down...

From the research I have done they appear to be well built and a good awning. I checked them out at the expo and didn't see any issues. If I lived near Sac I would purchase the 2500 but with the shipping I'm going to go with a lesser brand off Amazon that has the free shipping.

I have a suburban and am thinking about an awning. We have not camped where it would be necessary yet it will be in a few weeks. I was looking at the Overland Pros 270 degree but when you look at all the photos, the awnings do not seem to be providing too much shade other than for the side of...

Interesting Rayra, I have a chirping noise coming from the belt area as well. I was thinking it was the idler pulley but it's not consistent enough. Also, small amount of coolant missing but no leaks. Put the two together and it makes sense. Been down this road before, just didn't want to...

I'm amazed at the quick advances they are making on these. I was at the Overland Expo last weekend and they had some that were so durable you could drive over them, drop them or walk on them. Another vendor had one that rolled up in the awning.

I'm all about my Suburban. For me it was the perfect vehicle after leaving the jeep world. Even my K2500, 454 with 410s gets 12MPG which is just a few under my old XJ.

Congrats on the purchase. I am very happy with my 97. So far just maintenance stuff after each trip. I'm at 190k and my Sub pulls very strong, runs great, shifts great and the 4x4 works very well. I did have the same issue with the electronic 4x4 switch. Unfortunately my 4x4 light is out so...

AGREED Zoomad75! I've seen idiots in a JK do far more damage to a trail with a heavy foot than my full size sub will ever do! That is some very small minded thinking to come to a conclusion as that. In my experience with a very large diesel F350, a GM 2500 HD and the Sub I have now, you can...

Roof Rack Jumped in with both feet on this one. I picked up the basket on CL for $30 and did one of my typical design as you go projects. I went with 2" steel on each side which allows the cross members to clear the bow in the roof by 1/2". I chose the electrical mounting rails for cross...

Quick note on the paint, DONT use the flat. Everything sticks to it, scuffs and looks rough. I will be doing the hood in a gloss or semi gloss

Roof Work Day The rust on the roof was looking worse and worse so I tackled that project. My intent was to keep the roof rack and just paint but of course, the 20 yr old bolts broke off in the roof so out came the sawz-all and off came the rack. So now I have a roof rack build coming next...

ya send a PM if you like. Very happy with the burb. Just put a new radiator in getting ready for a trip to ID in the snow. Plan to sand and repaint the roof and hood with Rustolum before we leave. Good ol GM paint looking like junk yard camo these days.

G80 did great but that mud sucked you in and I was sitting on the frame so no help there. There are several others Spots it did well. I am impressed with it.

First Trip First trip was to Colorado. We were intending to be off road from Marble to Buena Vista and then off to somewhere along the 24 in an effort to get to the Pikes Peak Race. Well... that didn't go as planned. Most trails though beautiful, would not go over the intended pass due to...

Ready for the first Expedition Run Finished up a few details over the last few weeks. Leaving next week for Colorado. I would have attended the Expo run in AZ but it's the same weekend as Pikes Peak and we already had tickets. I have a trip mapped out from Marble to Buena Vista then over to...
