Nice build! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. :smiley_drive:

Hi Martin. Couple of good reference sites would be z71tahoe-suburban.com and gmc4x4.com, both are practically ad- free and contain a good amount of information, though z71 has been around longer and thus has more stuff to search through. Another forum I visit that is not too bogged down with...

Think the pop top conversion is one of the cooler projects I have seen done here on Expo. Welcome aboard and I look forward to see how yours turns out. :lurk:Good luck.

Some ideas and thoughts about this very topic here in this thread over in General Vehicle Mods. Welcome to Expo Portal.

Hmmm, very nice rig. You really must give us some more details here on the forum. A scant 4 photos is not enough! Curiosity is piqued for certain.

To access my roof rack, I either just open a door and stand on the door sill, or stand on my rear tire, or stand on the rear bumper. I personally think these trucks look much better without running boards, but some rock sliders or nerf tubes ( like the Z71 package ) are a good compromise and...

Definitely remove the running boards. It will give you better clearance immediately. I once had a Expedition with running boards and it got hung up on a tiny stump along a trail necessitating a multi - point turn along the trail that would have been a non-issue had they NOT been there. I don't...

Congrats on the NBS Suburban, and yes I think these GM SUVs are indeed underappreciated, I love my Tahoe and it has not let me down off road yet. Though, if I had a "do over" card, I would get a 2500 Suburban, that extra bit of length can be a big difference in cargo capacity and usefulness...

Kiwi James, thanks for sharing the stories and pics with your Suburban. It is always great to see a GM NBS SUV that has actually been used off road and not living as a "mall crawler". I am jealous of your many travels. Sadly, it takes me about 3 days just to get to the areas you explored so...

GM changed the electric internals during the transition from 2002 to 2003. There are some bugs that crop up with the 03 + models, mostly speedometer issues. Personally I think a 1500 series truck will handle most "overlanding" type of travel, I certainly have been happy with my own Tahoe, sorry...

If you are willing to spend the money I would recommend researching Rare Parts steering components.

See my post #12, TAG is the old Kennesaw Mountain Accessories. They have a photo of my truck in the TAG website menu. I had to do a lot of cleanup work on mine but was overall pleased with the product. That said, I think my experience with them was the exception, not the rule, seems there are...

Nicely done, good fab work. :Mechanic:

I have had my 2002 for almost 10 years now (anniversary is this coming August) and have none of the problems you have listed - no smell of coolant, no weeping from the water pump, the doors are just as square as the day I bought it, the only thing that makes noise in the interior is the cargo I...

Hi TommyP. Personally, I love my Tahoe for exploring and find it quite capable for travel and light exploration duties. I do not feel any burning need to throw a SAS under it, and I have literally hundreds of miles off pavement on it. Mine is the GMT800 platform but I have also driven the...

Here! Here! I am in the exact same boat though only I am 2 years into my DieHard Platinums. Very happy with them as opposed to the problematic Optima.

Greetings Jersey. Here are a couple threads here with some information you may find useful. Homemade bumper swing outs Tire Carrier Hinges Good luck with your project

I have had them here at my house for awhile - leftovers from a previous project. I got them off the web, I am fairly certain this is the site - Color Lugs

Yep I keep a rubber cap over it, and keep the innards treated with Ballistol. The cap was designed as a lug nut cover but I found it fit perfectly on the air coupling.

Since I didnt need my spare tire space under my truck any longer, I cut off the brackets that had supported the spare and used the space to mount a Viair compressor and a 5 gallon tank. Runs from a switch on the console, lines feed both an air outlet on the rear bumper and also fires a Grover...
