Welcome to the site. And always nice to see another LBZ running around. I convinced two of my other friends to buy LBZ's. They are amazing trucks and are very underrated for back country travel.

You can read through my build (see link in signature) to see what I have done and where I have taken it.

Welcoming me from another duramax owner. Start posting pics :smiley_drive:

Hey there, a hearty welcome to a fellow Duramax owner!

I had a '98 6.5 Duramax in a Chev Express 3500 and drove the hell out of it all over America, in and out of places I shouldn't have really taken a rear wheel drive. Engine was still going super strong at over 550,000 miles when I retired it because I found my current rig for a good deal. The van was starting to have some body and odd-ball minor issues, but not really with the engine. Sold it to a guy who parted it out, I think.

Driving an '08 6.6 Duramax now in a GMC Savana 2500 that was upgraded with 3500 parts by Penske, and have over 375,000 on this one. Gonna have the engine gone over real well by the local diesel fleet guys and get some front end work by my local mechanic, then taking it back out for an exploratory multi-week trip later this summer, hopefully, then a much longer multi-month trip next Spring.

See you out there somewhere, someday.

Road

Had some sliders made and installed

 

[chilliwak]

Nice update with the new sliders Sunny. Can they hold the weight of the vehicle? If your pics are coming up sideways here its probably because you are posting from an iphone. Try rotating them before uploading. Looking forward to seeing more. Cheers, chilli...

Nice ride! I'm in a 06 dirty myself. Love the sliders. I really want a set bad. Who made yours, and if you could share what they cost i would appreciate it. I threw a set of steps on for access for now, but looking to go with a set of sliders soon. Keep up the great thread and awesome pics.

I got them made up in Sacramento ca. His shop is called stellar built. I paid 800 for them and it was same day service so that was kinda nice. I was going to just get new steps but 400 for something to get beat up again I decided to go with these.

 

[Sunnyddeelite]

I am posting on my iPhone lol thanks for the tip. I am not sure to be honest. I feel like they probably could without my camper but that's a lot of weight and the frames of theses trucks aren't boxed in so it makes me nervous. They are made out of 1 3/4 .120 thick dom tubing and are attached at 5 point.
