Thanks! I'll have more info later on the tire carrier later, but I copied this design found here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/95134-home-built-rear-rack-project Casey

From the time I bought the Tahoe in 2005 up until 2009, not much changed, other than the aluminum rims and Westin brush guard. During that time period, I got more interested in off-road fun. A friend convinced me to buy a Polaris ATV, and I had a lot of fun with that, but quickly grew tired of...

Yes, the GMT400's were kind of strange with their diesel offerings. You could get the 6.5L in the Suburban and 2-door Tahoe, but not the 4-door Tahoe?? Every automatic 6.5L came backed with the 4L80E, which is nice. The Suburban 1500 also came with 8-lug wheels and heavier axles, but the 1500...

The 6.5L vehicles are definitely beginning to get scarce... I would hesitate to let it go as well. Most 6.5L trucks out there are pretty worn out now.... Casey

I think John Kennedy has more knowledge and experience than Bill Heath, but John's people skills aren't necessarily the best at times..... Casey

I hate to hear that!! So many shops seem to have no clue how to work on the 6.5L, yet it's a very simplistic setup! I think the best 6.5L expert is www.kennedydiesel.com with a distant second being www.heathdiesel.com There are lots of shops who claim to know the 6.2L/6.5L, but obviously...

Thanks chilli! I actually had to replace the injection pump a couple of years ago, but fortunately I had purchased a used 1997 C3500 for parts, and it had a good pump on it that I was able to use. Casey

Well, I figured it was high time I finally start a build thread on my 1995 Chevy Tahoe 2-door diesel that I've now owned for over 11 years!! Here is how she sits today (fall of 2016); this picture was taken at Black Mesa, Oklahoma, July 2016: I didn't intend for this vehicle to become an...

Looking great! I've got a soft spot for the GMT400 trucks. Gonna paint that cap black? That would look killer. Casey

Just FYI: I'm in the trailer hitch business, and I am not aware of any hitches on the market that mount on the outside of the frame; they all mount to the bottom of the frame rail. You'll probably need to modify your existing hitch. Casey

Snowing?!?! That's crazy. Here in southern Missouri, we typically don't see any snow until December. Some winters we don't see much snow at all. The last two years we had just a few inches for the whole winter. This year may be another "wet" season, though. Casey

It only took me about three years, but I finally built my own tire carrier based on your design, 1meanz! Thanks again for sharing your creation! Casey

Found a small mud hole that I couldn't quite clear on the Rawley Mine / Bonanza trail in Colorado. Luckily my buddy with a built 4Runner was able to winch me out without much fuss. Made for good stories the rest of the trip. My wife let out a good scream when we fell in! I was actually...

From a recent trip out west to Colorado. This was taken at Black Mesa State Park in Western Oklahoma. Casey

I'm digging it man! I love the older rigs. That looks like a real beauty! Casey

Looking good! I'd like to get an ARB for my rig.... Casey

I didn't realize there was another 2 Door Diesel lurking on here! There's not too many of us. Me, you, chilliwak.... any others? Any recent updates, BlackPearl? I see it's been nearly a year since you updated this thread. Casey

Looking good! I've always had a soft-spot in my heart for the 2 door SUV's. Casey

Interesting information! I was not aware of that particular camper. Thanks for sharing. That does make the Bronco more interesting, if indeed it has that style of camper.... Casey

At least the camper built for the Blazer platform was actually built to fit the Blazer body.... that Bronco obviously has a standard camper slid in there. I wonder how they're keeping dirt and dust out of that massive gap between the cab and camper? Casey
