    2000 Suburban K1500 budget low lift with 37"s

    I think you can get creative with trimming the avalanche bumper pretty heavily, or doing something prerunner-y

    The bigger front brakes came on the trucks only. My Silverado has them, unfortunately it also means you got rear drums.

    Best suburban base to start with?

    You guys are at altitude and deal with mountain passes regularly. My commute is 75% stop and go and I average 14-15 in my truck with a little lift and larger tires. On long highway trips I'll hit 19. My neighbor has 275k on a 05 Z71 Tahoe he bought new and he gets 22 on road trips loaded keeping...

    Best suburban base to start with?

    What kind of roads/trails are you looking to tackle? Towing? Hauling a huge amount? Yea, a 2500 is cool, but 12 mpg isn't. A 1500 with with a little budget boost and 33s will kiss 20 MPG highway; and 1500s have a pretty high payload relative to everything else people load out on these forums...

    Right on. I think I'm one of the only people in the world who doesn't like these seats.

    I put an aftermarket adjustable power lumbar in my truck and it helped a little.

    1st Gen Sequoia vs GMT800 Suburban Advice

    You're not allowed to post non-Toyota things in that forum. The sheeple don't take kindly to that. All but confirmed for 2021.

    2000 Suburban K1500 budget low lift with 37"s

    The cladded avalanche front end is specific to only the avalanche (the non cladded models were the same as the cateye silverados) but everything should still swap over and will be pretty unique nonetheless.

    Need new tires

    KO2s here on my 05 1500 Silverado, have almost 60k on them and they have 30-40% left. Very happy with them.

    LR3 to 3rd gen 4Runner: lateral move or upgrade/downgrade

    Did someone open a window? What is happening on the Toyota forum? Is that a breath of fresh air I am breathing?

    Its posts like this that make me second guess wanting to move into a LR3 or LC100. These trucks just WORK plain and simple.

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Wanted to share this one, that's the wiring harness that sits above the transfer case. Last winter I was getting 'service 4wd' messages. Read the code, changed the transfer case solenoid thing. No more codes. Came back a couple weeks ago, intermittently. Checked the switch with an ohm meter...

    Should I buy this 03 D2 as my first rover?

    D1 was my first Rover, even though I wanted a 2. I was back and forth a bit but I'm happy I went with the D1 instead, but sad I got rid of it. Bad timing when the head gasket let go.

    Suburban vs silverado 2500hd?

    I daily an extended cab 800 and will be upgrading to something else when kids come along. Not enough room back there for a car seat and the dog. It's wide, but it's tight back there. I'm 6' and my wife is 5' 9"; so YMMV w shorter people in the cab. For just two people and a dog, it's a fantastic...

    Budget overland vehicle advice

    Been there, done that. Run whatcha brung. You don't need tons and 37s for everything, a rock stack here and there isn't anything to be ashamed of if you can accomplish your goal.

    Budget overland vehicle advice

    :rolleyes: You can do any of the famous passes in Colorado, and most "4wd required" trails in the country with ANY 4x4 with low range on 33" all terrains. I don't think this guy needs to be able to drop down Indy or run upper Helldorado in his ski-venture truck.

    Budget overland vehicle advice

    Blah blah blah. The 99+ electronic 4wd system is pretty simple and reliable. Three things go wrong with it: -The transfer case motor thing is the most expensive and time consuming to replace. You can buy the whole assembly for ~$250 and swap it, or put new guts and reseal what's in there for...

    Budget overland vehicle advice

    If you're on a budget, go domestic. The two passes you mentioned are just that, passes. Not serious off road trails. A 99-06 Tahoe with a torsion bar crank and 33s will do everything you ask for cheap and half the miles of a Toyota. Not much bigger than a 1st gen Tundra width wise, but shorter...
