Well ive had my 4runner a few weeks now and started getting a few things together to start building it up. Got my Bilstein 5100 shocks in, and my spacers for the rear. I need to get new tires this week and i was thinking of just going with the BFG A/Ts, anyone else have any suggestions that we...

Well for years now we have been Overlanding in Suburbans and i always liked the fact that we were in something a little different with the diesel suburban. We have gone through 3 of them. Their good trucks but i think im tired of dealing with reliability issues and just the huge size, plus...

Im thinking I might sell my suburban. I love the truck but I am thinking I would like to start a new project (probably another suburban or maybe 4 door pickup). This truck runs great but has a few little issues, it has a small oil leak form where the oil filter adapter is which just needs an o...

Im confused ive been reading alot about the 2014 Cherokee because were planning on buying it with the diesel. On the Expo portal front page today though they posted about it with a different picture. Which one is it? Hopefully its not this blue one because its so freakin ugly...

I have been running Yokohama Geolander A/Ts in 265/75/r16 for the last few years and like them alot but they do struggle a little in the mud and dont do great in snow. I have gotten a new car so now the Suburban is just for trips and offroading so id like to get a more aggressive tire. I have...

I built my roof rack for my last suburban and had it just attached to the factory luggage rack and that worked fine while i had that truck. With my 94 i didnt have the same factory luggage rack so i finally go around to building a type of "exo cage" thing to mount the rack to. I wanted to make...

I have a friend who has a 1993 fj80 and was having some electrical issues. I did some web searching for him and found what the issues was. He started to look for him self on his truck and found that he needed AM1 and AM2 fusible links. He was told on another forum that they should cost him...

We are going on a snow trip here in a few days and i need to get some snow chains or cables. Ive never used either, since its never snowed here. No local places except pep boys sell chains and they only sell one kind. They are cable type. Is the cable or link type better for offroad use, or...

Someone is getting us a GPS beacon for Christmas. The person at the store recommended the DeLorme inReach so she got that one but let us know that if we wanted to switch it for another brand like Spot she could go back and exchange it. The only brand ive really heard much about is Spot. Has...

Anyone know of a good app to convert GPS coordinates into the different ways of expressing them. I know the Earthpoint website has a pretty good converter but i cant find anything for an Ipad that does the same stuff. I know it may sound dumb but i get all turned around trying to convert GPS...

I built a bumper for my last suburban and it worked excellent, saved our buts a ton of times. I bought an Engo 12k winch and it never failed us. I bought it when i was trying to decide and read the winch shootout that Fourwheeler magazine did a couple years ago. Also at the time for the money...

Figured id throw a link here since this is the group that might be interested since its made for a chevy. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/80962-Custom-winch-bumper-and-winch

I have a Custom made winch bumper made for a 90's chevy truck or SUV, Not sure if it would fit the other years. This is a heavy offroad bumper, not a thin brush guard. Bumper is made of 3/16" plate and square 1/4" walled tube steel sub frame. Bumper also has a 12,000 lb Engo winch on it that...

I just bought my 94 diesel suburban so im going to sell my 92 K2500 Suburban. Its a great truck and I wouldnt get rid of it for anything other than the diesel suburban I ended up getting. Im probably going to sell it with all the gear i added. It has a Custom winch bumper, with Engo 12k winch...

I sold my bike a while ago so i have no use for my gear anymore. I have an XL alpinestars leather jacket with a Dainese hard articulated spine protector. I bought the jacket years ago but almost never used it because its so hot in Tucson, AZ so its still in excellent condition. Id like to get...

Ive been looking for a diesel suburban for about a year now. I have a 92 k2500 suburban now with the 454 and i love it but the mpg is killing me. I kicked around the idea of swapping in a 6.5 for a while but i found a guy selling a 1993 suburban with the diesel for 2800. The truck has 200k so...

finally got around to building my roof rack, i was going to bend tube to run from the rack down to my frame but i need to get a bender first so i attached it with clamps which is plenty strong for right now. I attached it to the sides of the stock roof rack because they seem stronger than the...

I currently only have a handheld garmin gps unit that i originally bought for hiking and backpacking and it worked excellent for that. Weve been using it as our sole gps navigation for overlanding trips and it just doesnt work for long trips with a bunch of waypoints, also with a really small...

I am always going back and fourth on wanting to just do a solid axle swap with my 92 3/4 ton suburban. I was wondering if anyone has heard of upgrades for the ifs components like stronger upper/ lower control arms, tie rods, stronger axle assemblies. It is a 2500 so alot of the parts are a...

I have just a basic inverter that I got from an auto parts store. It came with short cables with clamps to connect to the battery. I want to hard wire it permanently, would it damage the inverter?, also would it be a fire hazard or something constantly connected, or drain the battery? This is...
