    2000 Suburban K1500 budget low lift with 37"s

    twodollars, I am very close to being done with this Liberty pickup and already planning my next build: 6x6 Liberty pickup, kinda like a baby Dodge T-Rex. I am afraid to even mention this concept on the Liberty forum because if it's not a 6x6 Wrangler and no-one has done it it's not cool or...

    2000 Suburban K1500 budget low lift with 37"s

    02TahoeMD, Yes I will probably cut up the rest of the roof and back hatch and weld it up to the cab for a back. Liberty doesn't have a B pillar along the roof, it's just 18ga sheet metal. I think that I need to put a roll bar in just in case before I weld up the cab. Still figuring that one out...

    Hillbilly Heaven, Thats a great question, in my case it was some sheer dumb luck. I started looking at UTV tires, they were too expensive, then somehow ended up looking at tractor tires. So tractor tires have two numbers and a dash "-" in my case 9.5-16. First number 9.5 is the tire width in...

    toastyjosh, I like how you think. As a matter of fact I do have a 12k HF winch and two universal channels laying around as well as this JK bumper which would perfectly fit an ATV winch inside. It's on the list of things to do with the farm tractor Jeep. I also got the Liberty stuck in less...

    NevadaLover, It definitely has that Mad Max feel to it. Can't wait to play with it.

    OK, last Jeep post for a while, I promise, unless I get stuck again and need the Sub to pull it out. 2" eBay spacers are in, and 9.5-16 tires are mounted and on. So I got 2 that at 33.7" tall and 2 that are 33.25" tall, hopefully it won't cause too many issues with the drivetrain. Jeep...

    Installed an eBay 2" spacer lift and finally mounted my new tires on the Liberty pickup I think this is what Jeep designers imagined when they created the Liberty.

    Got some tractor tires for my Jeep. Mounted one of them just to see if it is even remotely possible to put a 33" tractor tire of a Jeep Liberty... The answer is YES it is! Other 3 will be mounted and bolted up this week. And this also got me thinking about getting another set of tractor...

    Well, my friend took the plunge...Z71 2004 Suburban for Overland/Off Road. Build test video and walkaround inside!

    RC000E, I am glad that you saw my build and did not follow in my exact footsteps. What I did fits me and my needs and may not work for Josh. I did go to Maine, it's cold up here, I miss the desert but there is plenty of adventures to get into here too. My front end came out way better than I...

    WRONG_WAY_DAVE, I told my kids that it was a part of a pirate ship, they got really exited about it. I also emailed National Park Service about it. Apparently they are aware of this chunk of history. According to them, park service photographs all these washed up pieces in high res every time...

    So I'm aimlessly driving around the beach in Assateague Island looking for the wild Assateague horses and spot a big chunk of wood in the surf. Looks like a piece of a ship. Very old ship! Wood pieces are held together with pegs or dowels. It looks like a side or a hull of a ship...

    Suburban vs Excursion for Family of 8

    Went for a drive and against my better judgement got stuck crossing the Colorado River 15 some miles below Hoover Dam. I got stuck at 8am, finally pulled it out around 1am the following morning after non stop digging it out. It never ran the same way since then and it made more financial sense...

    Suburban vs Excursion for Family of 8

    My old 96 GMC Suburban on a 6" lift, 35" tires and 373 gears. Ran 600-800 miles on a tank of gas on the highway. One summer I stuffed 6 adults and all the gear for 2 month camping road trip. One of the best trucks I have ever owned, was very sad to part with it.

    When I am not pulling a Jeep Liberty out I like to go for long drives on dirt roads. Yes to an untrained eye this may not look like a road but in Maryland we call it a maintained dirt road with a few puddles here and there. It only got to 20" deep. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

    Smileyshaun, I read about that weakness in the Liberty. I have some gremlins making noise in the front right corner, will find them and figure out what I want to do when I install the 2" spacers front and rear. Looks like it will be sooner than later, I am tired of getting stuck every time I...

    mekcanix, Yeah, I hear you, unless someone else has built it, tested it, marketed it and mass produced it so it's a direct bolt on with instructions a 10 year old can follow there seems to be a lot of resistance to accept new ideas. It's funny, I don't post on Pirate4x4 because if all the...

    I cut the roof off my Liberty, one step closer to becoming a pickup. That also means that it will be out in the yard playing in the snow, getting stuck and waiting for my Sub to rescue it again! I am also actively pissing off a couple moderators on the Jeep Liberty forum as I am building...
