    1972 GMC K20 Dubbed "The Wilson Project" ***UPDATES***

    Alright, its the end of the week! So i had to pick up some wheel dollies off of a lady a few miles away so I could shift my truck over a bit in the garage as I need every square inch of work space possible. Heading to the local annual car show tomorrow and then I plan on pulling the 350 out of...

    1972 GMC K20 Dubbed "The Wilson Project" ***UPDATES***

    Alright, so today my wife and I loaded up with some tools, picked up a U-Haul Trailer and headed west to pick up the new drivetrain for Wilson. It was a bit of a pain in the ass due to the fact we live in a townhouse because our ridiculously expense real estate market here in Vancouver, BC. So...

    1972 GMC K20 Dubbed "The Wilson Project" ***UPDATES***

    Just finalized the deal for the motor! Its a 2005 GM 6.0 LQ4 with 262,051 on the ticker. It is mated to a 4l80e transmission and what I believe is a NP261 Transfer-case which I will determine once its in my possession. I got to drive the truck around the farm for a few minutes beforehand to make...

    1972 GMC K20 Dubbed "The Wilson Project" ***UPDATES***

    Hey Guys, I've been following the Expedition Portal for at least 10 years and love all the info and support! It keeps my dreams alive when I am unable to get out and explore. I have finally purchased my dream truck! I found this truck on my way home from a doctors appointment one day sitting...

    1999 GMC Yukon Build

    This thing looks awesome! I really dig the wheels and the SAS. I'm currently looking into a suburban/yukon/tahoe of the same body style but having a hard time finding a clean one up here in BC. Are you still having death wobble issues? If you are then get an alignment and check the caster specs...

    Anyone here have a RAM 1500 EcoDiesel?

    I have a 2014 Ram 1500 Hemi and I love it. Personally I wouldn't buy an ECO Diesel, its all good when the systems are functioning properly however alot of diesels including the ecodiesel will continue to have issues with their after treatment systems as the after treatment systems are still...

    2012 Seat discomfort

    Ive had this problem, however I am a bit bigger than your average bear at 6'5 tall, 260lbs. I find that adjusting the seat height a bit higher as the seat wears in seems to be a bit more comfortable and less strain on your back.

    Cariboo / Chilcotin, BC Canada Backroads Exploration

    Hey guys, Here are a few pictures of our end of summer camping trip up through Chilcotin country. We loaded up our rented tent trailer on a Sunday morning and hit the road for a well deserved weeks long vacation in our beautiful BC backcountry. We drove a total of 2700kms, with a solid chunk...

    Small Garage, Big Project

    Hey, just wanted to say that I really enjoyed watching your build come to life. The final product looks great and the quality is excellent!! Nice job! Curious how you joined the sheet metal seams and corners? I am looking to build some steel boxes with 14G and don't know how to go about welding...

    My White JKU Expedition Build

    Whats the backspacing on your wheels? Do you have the wheel part number available by any chance? I have an identical setup to you and I love it!! The only thing I dislike is that I have factory Rubicon Rims with 1.5" spacers and they stick out about 1/4" past the fenders. Im looking for some new...

    02' Silverado Lifted

    Finally! I took some pictures of the truck, I am done now with modifications. With the exception of maybe mounting some sort of in the bed fuel tank. I took the truck on a camping trip this weekend, hauling a 6000lb travel trailer. It performed nicely, except for when I got a MAF sensor code...

    Can't decide what full size diesel.....

    I like the 12V and 24V trucks. If it were up to me, I would buy a 98-02 quad cab cummins with a manual trans and upgrade the front end with a Dynatrac Free Spin Hub Kit, and rebuildable ball joints, levelling kit and some 35's. That way you eliminate your front end problems, but keep the...
