    Advice on what truck to purchase? Crew cab vs suburban for family of 4+dog adventures

    I have a suburban, that through the years of me exploring has started to become a little more than mildly lifted, etc. Saying that, I started with the same intentions, and installed a 2-2.5" lift via keys and longer shocks (free-$200 depending on if you want to piece together something from a...

    Didn't even notice it dug in until my buddy taking the picture said you gotta stop and come look at the hole you dug in the dirt lol. I was incredibly surprised the hitch did not hit more often. Apparently some of those decline/ inclines are 70 degrees!!!! (according to the trail books) and I...

    Good to hear! You may need some modifications of the brackets to fit 2500's. I'm sure Atomic can help you with that

    I love the atomic coil over conversion. It probably is the single greatest mod I have done to the truck. I wish you were in this area, one ride off road would have you on the phone to buy it. It is night and day compared to the torsion bars. I'll post a video of it working once I edit/ compile...

    The next day, which was my last, we went to dead horse point which, while expensive for the hour we were there was worth it. Would have loved to have a bike in this park: We then went out to Uranium Arch, which was a nice moderate trail with one difficult ledge of about 20 inches, not bad...

    We then went to "Moab" to do Fins and Things. We also ended up doing the Baby Lion's back. This part of Moab literally felt like an amusement park, you pay the $5 drive on the paved road until you hit the trail you want. We had pre-picked fins and things as a good match for our vehicle...

    We decided to stay out in Utah State Lands off of Dalton Well. The mountains were amazing. The copper really did look like this. We dropped the trailer off and made a "home base" camp for the rest of the trip. First day after setting up camp we decide to go to "Tower Arch" All of the roads in...

    Forgive my crappy photo editing skills! Here's a mini trip report. We left on Friday, returned the next Saturday. From Bay Area, CA, we took a day to get to the Moab Area (night over in Elko) and same on the return. We decided to "wing" the trip, based on uncertain weather, the weather ended...

    2000 Suburban K1500 budget low lift with 37"s

    Haha no worries! I'm sure the tank can be found in a junkyard. If I remember, I think it was sold on 1990-1997 F150 trucks with rear tank option, so there must be at least a million out there!

    Took a trip to Moab a week ago. Some teaser pics, need to organize my pictures and my buddies' pictures. I'll do a photo dump at some point soon and a trip recap! Moab is amazing. Could live there for years and not see everything. Truck was flawless. Put 3200 miles on her, more than 300 off...

    2000 Suburban K1500 budget low lift with 37"s

    Best option I found is a 20 gallon tank from an 1996 F150 fits perfectly between the trailer hitch mounts. It doesn't stick down very far, so my hitch acts like a skid plate. I found the idea from the link below. If you want any pictures of my install, I can post some. I used the stock f150 in...

    GMC 2500 CV Joints

    This is the answer IMO. I replaced mine with re-manufactured ones, and they gave me the wrong length, (return put in wrong box apparently, and I snapped my front left out on the trail first trip out. I was able to hobble home and decided to look into the CV's a little more. I ended up going...

    My 02 Avalanche NFE

    Lookin Good! Man, everyone who does the NNBS brakes loves them, I'm on 16's, and they won't fit, but you all are talking me into it:) What's the details on installing the parking brake correctly? This has always bothered me. I've adjusted and replaced it too many times to count.

    Window insert for 12VDC fan ventilation

    Man that looks awesome! Would be huge improvement over my old style fans handing over the rear window. Let me know if you ever move on that!

    2008 Suburban Sensible mods

    I did the same mod for lights in the engine bay. It has the added feature that because now you've got more than enough light, you'll never break down at night!:smiley_drive:

    12 Volt On-Board Air Compressors What's Out There?

    I've used a MV-50(or 1050) for the past 7 years hooked up to a 2 gallon tank. No issues. Probably a 100 hours of running. Usually fills up 3 trucks from 20-55 psi all in a row, used and abused. Built a bumper a few months ago that has a 7 gallon air tank. After a few uses the 50 finally bit...

    post your Suburban pics

    Can't believe I've never seen this thread before! Great looking burbs! Starting to look a little menacing from my small DD (Miata) even with a crappy cellphone pic. Getting ready for Moab and Arches in a few weeks!
