I missed this thread when it was first posted but I am glad it was "resurrected"! :ylsmoke: I love those roads in the San Juans and some of the places I have been. AND even better seeing all the other places I NEED to see! Thanks very much! Great pictures and write-up!

Great thread and pictures thanks! You hit on a couple of things that were definitely how I felt in some of the trips you have done: I climbed Longs in 1980 (when I was 18) and the lack of acclimating hit me hard (I had just come from MA). I remember the guys in their 60’s blowing past me in the...

Really great thank you! Love the timelapse! Very cool!

Great shots thank you for sharing!

I like the thoroughness of the report. Certainly seemed to cover much more real world scenarios than the typical mall crawler tests that are out there (I have always felt braking tests were a bit more important than empty 1/4 mile runs). I am curious why they didn't include the GMC/Chevy...

I don't have one now and never have. But between me and my family we have had our share of VW's (Bugs: '67, '70, 73, Fastback: 64?, Wagon: '69, Jetta: 2-'87's, '89, '96, 2013 LOL) so I do like the brand! :LOL: But it seems they're going to stop making the camper.....I am surprised but haven't...

I will echo everyone else here on a great build truly customized for what you want and need. And than you for sharing it with us all. I know its not easy to document everything like you did. I have a question about the trailer now that you have used it for a while. Are you finding that it is...

Really great write up. Not sure I am ready for all that new technology but really cool seeing what the future will look like!

Great pics! Thanks for sharing. Travel safe!

Jack- thanks so much for the awesome build and sharing so many details! Really nice job you did outfitting this. I have a question on the OBA...do you see any mileage impact with the engine driven pump? My old plow trucks back in the 80's had engine driven pumps (Fisher) for the plows and first...

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the comments. I feel for my needs the IFS is fine and nice to see that others have had decent success and don't feel they have to toss it. Thanks for the knowledgeable and thoughtful replies.

02Tahoe- thanks for posting all the pics and such a thoughtful build. Great inspiration for me! And love the GSD's...ours is East German and Czech so she's a lot smaller than yours but they are great pets and family members! :)

Why Ron? Virtually all the Class 1 and Trophy Trucks use IFS so presumably IFS itself doesn't suck? And I am not trying to be a d**k....I am just curious what you are referring to?

Ridge I have wondered that as well....I don't know totally about the internals but just checking auto parts the lower ball joints are the same ('03 Yukon v. '03 2500HD), upper ball joints, upper control arms, tie rod ends, axle shaft bearings are all different for each vehicle. That was as far...

So I have a GMC Yukon that I use for moderate off roading. I have offroaded since the md/late 70's (my '76 FJ40 was great!). But my Yukon is not built at all, just about 100% stock. But I have taken it all through the North Maine Woods, it's done Ophir, Cinnamon and Hurricane Pass (not that...

Such great ideas here....thanks to everyone who shared their builds!! I know I speak for many when I say I/we really appreciate it!

Great pics....I have never been there specifically in NE but have spent some time tromping through the eastern grasslands of CO which looks pretty similar. I love how while you think you can see it all you suddenly come over a small rise and see something totally and dramatically different...

Great pictures thanks for posting them all! Our next planned roadtrip is a "northern" route with Glacier & Yellowstone on the agenda thanks for more inspiration! (as if I needed more already! ha!). A little thread drift I apologize but the border stuff you mentioned really irks me.....they can...

Really great trip and pictures. As if I needed MORE incentive to get to Alaska! ha! :drool:

I will second (or third?) the Tahoe/Suburban choice. I have a 2003 Yukon (GMC version of the Tahoe) with 206,000 miles on the 5.3. No problems at all with it. Pulled a trailer with the 3 kids from MA to AZ/CO for three weeks (San Juans, etc.) a couple of years ago and it went very well. We camp...
