Good looking 'burb, always nice to see what others are doing with theirs.

Keeping it on the drivers side door is what I did - I have an '85 with the barn doors. Enables me to open the passenger side door, load or access items from the one side. That being said, I'm deciding on how to mount twin spares and MFC cans on the rear, on two swing aways. More of a pain to...

French light transport truck, similiar to the Unimog S in capacity, I've got some literature around here that I'll try to dig up when I finish moving. A UK importer tried unloading a bunch on me some years back.

Like Tatra? Absolutely available here. Quite a few of them have made it over, and there are dealers and owners that'd love to sell you one :)

I've dealt with GL way too much in the past - the one tip I can give to start is inspect - inspect - inspect. Don't assume that the photo you see in the auction is actually the item listed. Don't expect the item to have all the parts, even if it's described as complete, etc. If you can't...

ehhhhhhhh...no, I'd pass if I were you. Just too much work for the return, especially in an expedition vehicle. I took my Suburban out on a nice trail ride at the last Calico meet with Unimogs - didn't go everyplace they went, but did do just fine. Just have to pick different lines. Plus - I get...

I think I saw one for sale in craigslist, just within the last few hours. Was a dealer too.

Looks good so far. I'll be interested in seeing how you tie your exo and rack in, and all the other little bits and pieces. I've got the black Subbins (Suburban + Cummins) posted in the domestic vehicles section, and I've been slowly building it up. Today I'm going to start working on front...

Excellent link, and great photos. Yep, that's pretty close to what I was envisioning - rear hoop coming off of the bumper, using a single axis roll connector, and mid-hoop coming out of the top front curve of the rear wheel well, attached to the frame with another roll connector, and removable...

LOL. Quit following me.

Given your parameters - Daily Driver & expedition vehicle, about the only option I see is a Diesel Crewcab with a slide in camper. Having to combine both the DD and EV duties is a tough job. Doing the Fuso, Unimog, Pinzi, Earthroamer, etc as daily drivers.....ah, no. :) Comes down to a heavy...

Ok, here're a few quick pics.... I'm going to edit this to ask a question: Is anyone working on exo cages on this forum? The reason I'm asking is I'm planning on doing two rear hoops - one from the bumper, up and following the body contour. The second hoop will go from the frame, exit the rear...

Well, let's see. 1985 Suburban 3/4 ton, factory tow option, originally a 6.2, then 6.5, then 6.5TD, then 6.5TD low compression.....now '01 Cummins ISB 5.9 is in it. NV4500 trans, mated to an NP205 xfer, mated to a 14 bolt FF in the rear and a Dana 60 in the front, both with Detroit lockers...

Hi folks, been a while since I was working on expedition vehicles, and I'd completely forgotten about this site. Lo and behold, I found it again. Good deal. Looks like there's been lots of new developments and everyone's hard at work building their vehicles, which is great to see! Here's to...
