I'm taking inspiration from henryj's install. He posted a link to his own build page in this thread. He mentioned an 18 gallon tank...I'm thinking of going a bit bigger like the 25-30gal you mentioned. That would give my rig some serious range.

According to the Level 8 website, they are 26lbs. Fit and finish seem excellent. We'll just have to see how they hold up over time. I'm lucky that I don't have to deal with salted roads, so hopefully they'll keep looking good for as long as I own them. One thing I did notice was the guy had...

Here is my build thread on my 2003 Chevy Suburban 1500 Z71. She's to be the family weekend mobile, but I'm still not sure if I want her to be our Overland rig. I bought her with 100,400 miles on 1/9/2015. She was bone stock and previously owned by an elderly couple who always brought her to...

You'll probably have to find someone local to fab up a set. I was thinking about it as well for mine.

I never got around to checking ebay. Would it be worth it to just order there from their international sellers or does shipping normally kill the deal?

Will have to look. Maybe I can try and reach out to a Pajero club out there. I wonder what it would cost to just have one shipped stateside?

Nice trip report! How did you acquire a Nissan Patrol Safari and how are you even maintaining it with the lack of parts here in the states? Such a cool rig, one of my favorites.

Hey guys, I've decided that I would like to get a Gen 2.5 or Gen 3 for an Overland rig. I'm finding that there are bolt on goodies that the rest of the world enjoys, that aren't readily available here in the States. I'll be going to the Philippines on a scuba diving trip in April/May and was...

I didn't see this till now. Sorry! I thought I had subscription alerts enabled. In any case it would be cool to meet up. You have a lot of the mods going on that I'd like to eventually do. I don't have a build thread yet, but I'll put something up soon. Would definitely like to hit up some...

What he said! ^^^^ And a very cool idea. Please keep posting your progress!

Glad to see another GMT800 Suburban on here. I'm in the SF Bay Area as well and slowly building up my 03 Z71. Might pick your brain on advice on future mods for mine. Sounds like you had a crazy weekend get away. I would have given up after the 2 times having to winch. Hahah! Cool pics!

Thanks for the pics and the trip report!

Just saw this. Located in Santa Clara, CA which is right next to San Jose (aka Silicon Valley) http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/5426677284.html

Sent them a message. Will see what they say. They look nice but boy are they on the pricey side. Getting a bumper from them would end up costing me over 1/4 of what I paid for the Z71.

So I heard back from these guys and they can make/retrofit one of their Silverado bumpers to fit my Suburban. Only other options were cutouts for lights as well as shackle mounts with 7/8" pin holes. I was looking at just over $1000 shipped to my door. I would still have to find someone to...

Thanks! I've reached out to them and hope to hear back soon.

Thanks for that. I like the simple look of those. I hope they can make something for my Suburban.

I wish I had the kahunas to do this. The idea of doing it with a 1 year old is crazy! I wish you the best of luck on this adventure and look forward to the updates.

I will be looking into it. I'd rather support a local business and hopefully the money I save on shipping can be used towards more options. Will look into them....thanks!! I think that would be one route to take. A lot of the swing out tire carriers for Jeeps are pretty solid and I don't...

Thanks for the info. I'll look into the brands you mentioned. Like you mentioned there aren't very many making rear bumpers for the full size GMT800's. I will probably end up going custom, but it pains me to think that I might have to pay 1/4 the price I paid for my rig.
