Nice setup, have you done any trails or trips? I have a GMT800 truck but looking for a smaller GMT360 setup to build next. Yours looks pretty god with 5.3, G80 and selectable 4x4

I think you are doing it all wrong. You are asking people here to pick a truck for you so you can live every one else's dream. I say forget the poll and what others think, go out get what you like, drive it, mod it and post lots and lots of pictures of your dream truck. Just my 2 cents...

Burb One, It's pretty amazing where we find inspiration for our creations. You were looking to be comparable to Raptor with better payload, I was looking at 2017 2 door Rubicon for approach, departure and break over angles. Can't wait to see what you do next.

Spending days using my Suburban to do yard work. This time I got a brush grubber BG-01 to help pull little trees utpo 2.5" diameter out. I cut them down earlier this year and mulched them. Tried pulling them out by wrapping a tow strap around them but that shredded my tow strap pretty quickly...

Halloween Pumkin Chunkin adventures with the kids. All three got to pull the string on the trebuchet, however 18month old was not into it as much as the older two. Boys tried their luck at the air cannon. Organizers ran out of big pumpkins so they loaded a handful of smaller ones into the...

nitro_rat, Not quite Sawzall action but the video of me taking the front end apart before I swapped out Avalanche hood, fenders and grill. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

Todd n Natalie, That's so cool that they are considering re-releasing the HD Suburban. I wonder if it will be a 2500 chassis or a 3500 chassis which GM discontinued this year for fleet sales market. Only time will tell.

Suburban got a 40" lift on a back of a tow truck. Went to start it one morning and nothing. Everything electric works but nothing happens when I turn the key. Diagnostic code scanner showed U0100, no communication with ECU. No local shop wanted to touch the electrical so off to the dealer it...

dur66@msn.com, Your Avalanche is perfect for overlanding, however the 2500 chassis will be a much rougher ride and have much more wear and tear that a lighter, more fuel efficient 1500 chassis. Parts on 2500 are heavy duty for hauling cargo on the highway but not designed to be beat and abused...

TwinDuro, Thank you. I go back and read through the entire thread from the beginning once a year and still can't believe that I was able to pull this off and the fact that the truck still runs and to this day my daily driver. I want to do so much more to it but it's so dialed in right now that...

dirtdobberoffroad, Yup, still alive and kickin'. It's been a rough summer for me. New England is not as exciting to explore as the Southwest. I made a couple videos of some trails here this summer but I got a headache 10seconds into watching each one and did not upload them. I'm going to try...

BurbOne, When I went to 4.10 gears I accidentally picked up a 2500 front diff, tried bolting it up but could not get one of the tabs to line up. Pass side bolted up, top tab bolted up, bottom tab was way off. I wrestled with it for a few minutes until I realized that the drive shafts don't have...

Lykos, Search very well you did not, force is weak with you, LOL. BurbOne did it, took pictures, and has a fantastic write up, best write up on the swap out there. Only caviat is that you need a diff drop lift kit to make this work...

bigdogyj, That's just crazy, oh wait, I think you read my mind. I have been thinking about that and slowly gathering the required parts. Have a 2002 Sierra with a 6.0, 4L80 and NP241. Have a RV/TOW cam for to be put into the 6.0. And I'm looking at surplus H1 rolling chassis on GovPlanet...

jonathon, Thanx, yeah I made that video. I was inspired by some guy that was using the Puma to inflate his 35s which it did at 10psi per minute. I did try running a long hose to fill all 4 tires up at the same time but really did not like the complexity of that setup so I went back to one tire...

nitro_rat,, That's kinda what I figured shortly after posting that, lol. But if there is someone out there that has tried that, it would be good to hear exactly how bad that idea really is. Stay tuned for more shenanigans!

LandCruiserPhil, Tried and true. I hard mounted mine in the truck but if I had to do it all over again your setup is how I would do it. I would add an on/off switch and run SB50 connector direct from my truck and have an option to use the SB50 wired into my truck or jumpers for other trucks.

jonathon, When money is no object and you pay someone else to put a compressor into your truck and teach you how to use it ARB Twin is a clear winner, you can even run two of them for even more power. For most of us here, we have a budget but more importantly we like to tinker with toys and...

dirtdobberoffroad, I think you have officially nailed it. "WE LIKE EXAMPLES OF VEHICLES THAT ARE DIFFERENT AND BEND THE RULES OF WHAT OTHERS SAY WON'T WORK." Looks like lots of cardboard, 1/4" steel, drill press, angle grinder and stick welder time for me real soon! Another fun question, but...

Burb One, I always look forward to your words of wisdom, you were one of the few people that really inspired me to turn my Sub into what it currently is. So my fab work is non existent, no access to CNC or plasma table. So sounds like that few weeks that i was thinking about will most likely...
