Well Nick (mosesburb) and I got the rig together and it was high time for a shake down run. Funny thing is his birthday and mine are about a week apart so what better way to celebrate than drag our families out for some dirt time. As with all great outings there was plenty of tarmac time, of...

Looks like you will have plenty of cab space now :) which is great for bringing family along with you & the misses. And since you aren't building the rig to rockcrawl & have the motos to play with, well the 2wd should do everything you want in comfort & style. As for the color...at least you...

Great little shakedown run and looks like that girl is a keeper....she likes the outdoors, fishes and hangs out with you, tough combo to beat. Keep the trip reports coming, that is what we build these things for anyway.

Add the new V6 diesel and it's great fuel economy, some factory lockers and other goodies and you might have one of the best all around overlanding rigs made in the USA. Great to see AEV going this direction and supporting other platforms.

Thanks but really Nick-Noibn (mosesburb on other forums) deserves all the credit as this project would not have happened without his knowledge and skills. More pics to come in the next few days.

And the man himself here hiding from the camera as he works on the 208 going in... After alot of really hard work Nick got the 208 clocked just enough to give me more ground clearance and yet not bang the floor or cause other issues. At the same time Nick was playing master mechanic on my...

More pics to come but this will get you guys started... Here is the burb before we started at Nicks.... Parked next to Nicks rig to give a sense of the custom spring lift vs a 4in (really 6in) lift Turbo 400 and NP205 out of the way... 700r4 installed with a nice deep trans pan and temp...

I love my Hannibal awning but if anyone can do a better job and be USA based it is Socal Teardrops....if I didn't already have my awning they would be who I would reach out to in a heartbeat.

Great reviews Justin and I gotta say I like the idea of using a bag to protect OTHER items from the stove. I have a few bits of kit that would be a good idea to bag up now that I know they do custom stuff. Thanks to taking the time to get the pics and do the writeup

What a great write up to read from a kids view... I have been to that area a number of times but it was really fun to read what she wrote.

Wow looks like something that will be less vehicle dependant and more on the driver....could be a really fun event. looking forward to seeing what the entry cost will be

very cool quick family outing...Utah has such a great mix of scenery and history, very impressive and good on you for getting the young lady out into it all as often as you do. Thanks for taking the rest of us along also

Super cool rig on one of the better body styles that Ford built. Looking forward to your travels and glad you are using it more than building it.

Spend way less on the vehicle and more on USING the vehicle... I have tried to do that on my current 1970 Suburban..even down to putting 130 miles of dirt on it the day I bought it with old tires, shag carpet and unknown everything. Over the last 2 yrs I have spent very little time building and...

If you can keep the final cost to the customer under $1000 for compressor and all parts for a full 4 tire CTIS that allows easy tire/wheel change in the field.....well you would sell plenty of those. If you can get it under $700 then you will sell as many as you can make. Here is my biggest...

70 Suburban here and if you search Old Iron you will find a few thread with mentions of another old Burb, some old Fords, Broncos, Scouts, FJ40s....yep there are a number of us who prefer the simple life :)

There are a number of collars she can try that are not expensive. Aspen makes one. Miami J is a style of collar that offers a bit more support than an Aspen. C-collar is the generic term. If she has a good primary doc she can ask for a script and insurance should pay for it so you guys can try...

blackstone has always treated me well and I have used it to see if I am getting too much blowby or if my veggie oil setups were doing anything negative to my engines. like you said there are a number of good places to go and it is worth the investment.

I have owned roof top tents before, a variety of them... Love my sleep inside suburban best of anything I have owned. Quick and simple

Wow what a great write up, to know that you are traveling in the same area as so many other tourist but that it has so much MORE meaning for you. Good job following your family history and bringing home to our rushed, media filled lives. Thanks for taking us along on the adventure.
