    Larry's 1978 K10

    Wow, I almost had forgotten about that issue…..Yes, the new axle did fix the axle. The guy that bought the axle put it in a rock crawler and never had a problem with it, but its trailered everywhere and doesn’t see any highway. I’m confident the issue with the old axle barfing oil out the vent...

    Neat! Which dealer are you at? I pretty much know all of them in the US and Canada. As far as the 8.8s I’ve only been able to play with them at our Woodridge training center. We really don’t see any issues with them so I haven’t gotten a chance to play with one in the field. The only issues...

    Hehe, ya…. I hear you on that. I hope my daughter scores a scholarship too so that her college years don’t interrupt my play money ?. Still have a long time…she is only 6. Nah, I live in the better area where more native Coloradans .……..Pueblo West, which is about an hour to hour and a half...

    Project “Polar Bear”: 1989 V2500 Suburban

    You guys better knock it off before I post up pictures of Zoo’s K5 with a broken axle stub and Don’s Waggy with a slashed front tire being changed by a paraplegic while Don just stands there scratching is ******** ;) Right, our old open channel framed trucks are like Gummy worms! At least now...

    Project “Polar Bear”: 1989 V2500 Suburban

    Hehe, well here is the during of one of the dingers… This was about 2006 while doing some validation near my house of the freshly installed lockers it got at the time, Detroit rear and TrueTrac front (The TrueTrac’d D44 now lives in the Suburban and the K10 has ARB’s front and rear). If you...

    Project “Polar Bear”: 1989 V2500 Suburban

    Oh yes! There have been a few times the blue truck could have used sliders. The driver’s rocker has some rash on it from a few hits over the years but the Rhino Liner hides it well. The old trucks with side saddle fuel tanks are not easy to fit sliders though. Maybe one day it will get some...

    Project “Polar Bear”: 1989 V2500 Suburban

    Thanks Chili! I miss hanging out in the forums here as well. Life has just gotten crazy busy once our little one showed up almost 5 years ago. For sure! I’m anxious to put it through the paces as well. Probably won’t have much time to give it a good test drive until later in the summer...

    Project “Polar Bear”: 1989 V2500 Suburban

    Yes! The 2017/18 decals are totally Simon and Simon. Best looking PW decal package since the 70's For some reason, these pics wouldn't link up in the last post. Not too sure I like this new forum format they moved to around here. The Suburban approves of the new kid. A manual...

    Project “Polar Bear”: 1989 V2500 Suburban

    Well, I did a thing this weekend. I’ve mentioned in other threads how down I have been on late model GM vehicles and how fond I am of late model RAM’s, especially the Waggy! With my lease car coming due to return it was good time to give a waggy a try. Don’t worry, the K10 and Polar Bear...

    Ya, Devil’s Racetrack will definitely keep your attention. I certainly wouldn’t recommend most people take their shinny new Toyota “Overlander” in there let alone a full-size truck with a camper. LOL We were all lucky to come out with only two flat tires (Power Wagon & 2002 Dodge Diesel), one...

    Yes! The Power Wagon is a sexy machine. It was pretty fresh off the lot too. Not even 9,000 miles on it and Don was wheeling the heck out of it. It went home with some minor rash on the driver's rocker panels. It too will be sporting a popup camper next year for the annual Desert Trip. I...

    Thanks! Here are a few more from our annual Desert Trip earlier this summer. We had 5 full-size trucks, 2 with popup campers and K5 Blazer being the smallest rig. Next year the K5 and the Power Wagon will also be sporting popups as well. Zoomad, the K5 owners, just recently picked up a Rowe...

    Larry's 1978 K10

    Cool! Thanks! Hehe, good eye! That Camel thing is a Camel Snus metal can. I glued a big magnet under the cup holder to hold it in place. It serves as an ashtray for the passenger as they cannot reach the ashtray with the computer stand in the way. It can easy be picked up and used but held...

    2012 Chevrolet Colorado V8 - Daily Camper build.

    Very cool! The first gen Colorado/Canyon certainly do not get enough love. Very cool you found a rare V8! One of my buddys just bought one and loves it. A total sleeper. I've been searching for V8 Colorado's lately on Autotrader for a possible replacement for my Malibu when it goes off...

    Project “Polar Bear”: 1989 V2500 Suburban

    That is interesting as I was not aware of any yards that specialize in Workhorse parts, especially that many. I know there were about 25-30 brand new chassis that were totaled about 13 years ago during a flood at one of the RV builder’s plants in Elkhart, IN. Not sure where those went but they...

    The Camp 4x4 Bus - 1973 Suburban 8.1 Swap & Build

    Looking good! Still beside myself as to why you would not use a TBI Suburban tank with a TBI sending unit and EP381 fuel pump and call it a day. Would have been less cost and more reliable being all OEM designed parts not to mention quieter too. A proven recipe that has been known to work and...

    Thanks! Yeah, Desert Trip 17 was fun! Can't wait till next year Yesiree, I’ve been hearing that the 12558927 A/C – P/S bracket has been drying up. The Workhorse EPC shows them at Zero in stock and discontinued. From what I hear, GMSPO shows the same and PSI has not had the need for that...
