Hey Jelorian - got your PM, then found this thread with your rig in it. Nice job. I have a very similar underhood dual battery setup (isolated as well). For those asking about tire size, I have CST torsion keys in my Avalanche to level it up and it fits 285/70-17 on 17x9 no problem, could go...

Thanks. This is a complete fabrication by my buddy. The AllProOffroad stuff, while awesome, is only for Toyotas :( If you're in SoCal, I can connect you with my buddy.

Thanks for the compliment - mine is fabbed by my friend. AllProOffroad stuff is only for Toyotas - but for their dual swingout bumper for the Tacoma it's $2000. I called them and essentially utilized their basic design in coming up with mine. What I did buy from them was their Rotopax mounting...

What year is your Z71? I have an 02 Avalanche NFE. My opinion on the Defender 110 vs Z71 is that the 110 is pretty much purpose built for overland/offroad travel whereas the Z71 is designed for the street with some dirt use. IMHO those two are a big difference. But, if you're like me, and my Av...

As for the rear, again the same story plays out, not happy with any options for my rig. Got turned onto AllProOffroad who makes some pretty killer stuff, but it's all for Toyotas. Same approach - discuss what I'm looking for (more clearance, get the spare out from under the rig, carry extra...

I'm with you guys - 2002 Avalanche - and was less than thrilled with my off the shelf options. So, I have a buddy who has some skills when it comes to fabbing, so we discussed what I was looking for and he built it. I wanted it to be tubular but stout (read that as strong, but not heavy and not...

Hey Henry - I also replaced the exhaust on my 02 Av. It's louder than stock for sure, but not the drone or what I would call loud (if I want loud I have a drag car for that). I also had it rerouted to be tucked up higher between the frame rails and exit as just a slight turn down ahead of the...

Thank you - much appreciated.

Sorry for the delayed response - was in Bonneville for Speed Week. Here are a few pics. The Safari supplied bracket was too short (snorkel kit is for a Toyota) - so fabbed a longer one and attached it to the two bolt holes in the snorkel and then used 3 body screws coated with siliconeinside of...

Hey John - just read through the entire post (I didn't know you had this thread on this forum) your rig looks awesome. Thanks to your help, I got my snorkel finished (you know that), but I just had a rear bumper with dual swing outs fabbed for my Avalanche (now I need to buy an appropriate spare...

Thanks, and sure, but are you looking at the snorkel or the CB Antenna?

Nice build and my rig is a Chevy Avalanche - which translates to every single thing must be fabbed; which makes me completely jealous of your work environment and skillset. I'm in the IE as well. From one of your earlier posts in this thread, notice you drive a Dodge and race a Chevy. I'm just...

Thanks. The wheels are Pro Comp Rockwells.

Thanks - a big thanks to you for the help and advice. Much appreciated.

Absolutely - I was surprised at how tight it really was. Hopefully I won't be going through mud and water that deep either, but I have been through silt that deep.

If the sticker is $47K-$51K, with as much pent up demand as they are expecting, more than likely the actual selling price will $69K-$75K.

Hi All, I had posted on here awhile ago that I was interested in putting a snorkel on my 2002 Avalanche to improve it's capability and air intake. Well, I'm happy to say that it is finally done. The parts I chose are: S&B Cold Air Intake with Performance Filter (75-5036) Safari Snorkel...

Rayra - interesting points on the sway bar connects. After a wheeling trip, I had completely pulled my stock ones through and they were just dangling. I got the same ones you are showing, but I didn't go through the experience of putting them on as my truck was in the shop getting some other...

Thanks. We do get into some rougher terrain, not rock crawling, but level 4-5 stuff (on the Back Country Adventures scale), and there have been times when I wish had some extra clearance under my frame rails and bigger tires. While I'm considering doing the lift thang, I am definitely removing...

Rayra - good stuff. The 02 Avalanche is a 6000# truck with a 327CI engine that only makes 285 hp and equivalent torque. That's a serious detune on GMs part for that engine - as the more recent engines (same CI) but with 350-385HP and torque indicate. Combine the detune with the heavy vehicle and...
