Here's my rig I've had this Suburban for a few years now and it has been a slow metaphosis from a simple rusty diesel 4x4 to its current state, although there still the rust to remove. It began with switching out the auto to manual with a NV 4500 coupled with NP205. 4" ORD lift with 15 x 35 Coopers. Dual 3" exhaust system. ARB rear diff locker. Numerous other tweaks like a better lift pump. There's still the interior to finish along with the body work and bar work. But I'm in Australia caring for mother and so the Burbon is in storage till I decide what I should do. Possible ship it to Australia.

These trucks take me back to my childhood, we always called that era of Suburban the "Big Body Burb" and they were awesome!

Looks like Ram's are becoming more and more prevalent as a overlanding rig, and in Tex68w picture looks like they come stock with a winch friendly bumper? Clearly that aftermarket bumper in Manchilds photo looks good and seems to match well to the rig.

That's a Power Wagon. The winch is a factory installed Warn.

Manchilds truck is an aev prospector, it came with that bumper and winch, along with lift, tires, etc. yes ram trucks are very popular in the off-road world.

A Burb in Oz would be a head turner.
