Finally got around to doing the GMT900 front brake upgrade. I don't really have pics of the installation as it was late and I was trying to finish before dark. Here are a couple comparison shots so you can see how much bigger the GMT900 rotors are compared to GMT800. You don't need to touch...

Absolutely agree. I went to Warn's website to try and find a comparison chart so I could figure out the differences and features of their different models. I couldn't find one and ended up looking for the same info somewhere else. You would think that the manufacturer's own website would have...

Beast of a Ford! Looks real good. I really like the skeletonized front bumper. Very minimalist and I'm sure it saves a lot of weight.

Congrats on the new tires! Looks great! Fills the wells nicely. Now I'm thinking about 35's! Ha!

Are are some of my FHM (Filipino Hand Made) Baliswords and Balisongs. The set of 3 silver ones are actually Chinese made butterfly knifes. The Baliswords are more of a novelty item and mostly just displayed be people that own them. You can flip them but it is very difficult as they are very...

Thanks for the tip. Most of my connections are buttspliced with marine heat shrink around them. However where they terminate on my relays and on my isolator, there is still exposed metal. I couldn't find an amphenol waterproof relay but another search brought up links to waterproof relays...

AA1PR, I've been reading through your thread and I must give you props for all the work you've done to your rig. Keeping up with the rust would drive me mad. I absolutely love how involved your kids are with working on it as well. With regards to your winch, have you used it much since you...

Not sure if this is the right section of the forums. Since I'll be adding more electronics to my rig, I want to also protect all the different connections and terminal points. I've heard of using die electric grease on terminals and connectors, but I've also heard of sprays that could do...

Thanks for the tips rayra! Very much appreciated. If I decide to get another one and give it a second go, I'll definitely look into your methods. Makes total sense...especially the boiling water. Yeah, it took me a while to get the write up done. Hahaha...why wait till next year? :)...

Thanks man! Curious as to how you connected your snorkel to the air box and what air box did you use?

Crazy looking beastie for sure! Love it! The front bumper could use some of that orange paint like the roll cage, IMHO, but it's a monster for sure! Congrats!

Next was heating up the snorkel near the elbow so it would sit closer to the A-pillar. The first attempt with the snorkel off the vehicle got me close. It took a long time to heat up the plastic and I think I used too much heat as it started to get glossy. After mounting it back on, I...

Like I mentioned previously, one benefit of the 80 series snorkels vs the 60 series is that it is much longer. and because of that, you don't have to deal with running a length of flex hose to the air box. You can pretty much just get an almost straight shot from the outside of the fender into...

WARNING! Looong Post!! TL;DR - Installed a snorkel on my 2003 Suburban Z71. Pic above. So I finally got around to doing a snorkel install on my 2003 Suburban. The steps should be very similar across all of the various vehicles based on the GMT800 platform running the 5.3L V8. I'm not...

I've no real interest in the truck but I'm wondering why you say it's not an off road vehicle? It's no rock crawler but it definitely has a good amount of clearance and some really big tires. Yes it has a long wheel base and approach and departure angles would be bad, but I would think that it...

Whew! Thank goodness! Now I need to contact my electrician buddy so he can do some crimping for me.

Same here. If there is any, I don't notice it, but then again, I only have a Thule Summit which is one of their smaller boxes.

If my setup is really a ticking time bomb then all you guys had so say was something along the lines of, "Jelorian, in all seriousness, your soldered lugs are doing to fail with disastrous results and we suggest that you don't drive your vehicle until you swap out your soldered lugs for crimped...

Good lord what a beast of a Burban! You guys must be proud of all the work that went into this project. Amazing build!

Sorry, late to the party. Wife has an 08 Touareg. Sporty in the twisties and pretty darn capable offroad when the driver does his part. My DD is an 03 Passat Wagon. Our family always had VW's. Grew up with VW's, Vanagon's, Jetta's, Golf's, Cabriolet's. Brother has an 04 R32 and a 2003...
