    2015 GMC Sierra z71 Half ton Expedition Build

    I try to avoid to big a lift, makes garages and general parking more of an issue, raises your center of gravity and makes getting in & out of doors, bed area tougher. And going from a 33in to 34in tire only lifts your axle 1/2 an inch. If you are not dragging on ruts or rocks then save the lift...

    What's the fastest +12volt pump for airing tires up

    I have run Extreme Outback on 3 different rigs and will never own anything else. Mounted to frame rail under Suburban, 2 gal tank, doesn't care about weather, mud, rocks or anything else. It just works and works really really well. Plus George & Tamara are the best people you will deal with...

    9 Days On The Road With My Six Year Old Daughter

    Amazing pics, and thanks for letting us share in your adventure. My kids still talk about trips they did at that age...and my oldest boy is 25 :) Once you set a tone of travel like this it is great to see when they are old enough to travel alone and keep the spirit going. Enjoy the time while...

    All of that camping gear...

    Goodwill or other thrift stores along with garage sales are a great way to setup dedicated camping items. I keep my Suburban pretty much half loaded all the time as after a trip the camp kitchen pelican, chairs, tables and a bit more go right back under the sleep platform. Sleep pads, sheets...

    Ford Transit dominating van sales

    That video clip in the article looked pretty good. Nothing too hard core of course but good enough for a bunch of people to be happy. Wonder what the out the door price is?

    70 C-20 4x4 Suburban Father/Son project

    Wow Todd, those are super kind words... What Todd didn't mention was that I tend to "fly" my Burb around on Baja trails :) I promise I will do my best to get some pics of the springs and shocks tomorrow and post to this thread, something close up. The way I handled my setup was to go to an...

    Recommend a brand / kind of water filter for 4x4 setup?

    Not to be mean but this is what I have run into on my trips.... Usually water is coming out of some kind of tap or pump...so I need a container to capture it in....the usual 5 gal scepter/jug sort of thing. Folks are either waiting in line with you or standing around watching you do this. So...

    Ranger Odyssey. Anyone heard of this?

    Sounds cool but too bad entry closed back in May. Would have been worth flying over to South Africa to join the fun.
