SWEET!!! I dig the bumpers, that is an awesome burb!

Keep us posted!

 

[Colorado Ron]

Thanks guys! I was starting to wonder if I goofed up somewhere. With only one response to my last post, I thought either all the real expedition guys are out of town, or I goofed, and nobody wants to give it to me straight.

:Mechanic:
Thanks for the positive responses!

That is so cool!

How much does it weigh?

 

[Colorado Ron]

Not sure. Im waiting until the roof rack is done, then I was going to run down to the scale.

Very cool Ron! Reminds me of another truck I've seen . . .

cheers

I would consider making those quater panel plates removable. It will be a major pita to clean behind there should such an occasion present itself.

Thats a good idea. Ill keep that in mind! Thanks.

Guys feel free with any suggestions! This thing is still in the building stages so ideas are all appreciated!

I am really enjoying this build. Family ExPo machine... Perfect for all of Latin America too, as parts for the GM products are plentiful.

Thank you so much!! I was hoping to get the "Scott vehicle blessing of approval!":bowdown:

I know its no Pinzgauer, but hard to beat leather, a/c, diesel, 20+mpg, cruise, pw,pl, 700 mile range, and to be able to go all day with the cruise set at 85!(US only:shakin: )

Scott: anything you would add or change? Suggestions?

Other than the color, no.

I actually like every direction you have gone with it. (I would probably reduce the number of tubes on the front fenders, if I had to be picky).

The tires and other mods are all good for that truck, and it look "right" to me. All you need is an Eezi-Awn 2200 now, and some Pelican cases in the front on a light rack. Don't build a full length rack, as you wont need it. Just the roof tent and a few Pelicans in the front.

No roof lights either (side facing and rear facing LED camp lights would be cool though).

Just two HID's on the bumper.

It will be perfect!

 

[Colorado Ron]

OOPS!

I have 10 HIDs mounted on the nearly full length roof rack!

Crap! All good until my last addition!lol

As far as the color, I agree 100%! I just cant decide what would look right? Desert Tan I was thinking. Id paint the cage the same color.

Oh, I am all good on the desert tan. Might make the military checkpoints a little more interesting though.

You are joking about the lights, right

:shakin:

Ummm, no.

3 facing foward. Two on each side and 3 facing rear.

I have full 360 degree lighting for a mile!

I guess my thinking on that is I do alot of emergency weather rescue here in Denver. Im out pulling people out of thier stuck cars when the freeways close. We also get emergency employees to work--like the nurses and doctors.


And when that slow driver is in the hammer lane, I can give him a sun burn the the flip of a switch!LOL

Yea, thought about that. I think if they give me any crap, Ill just pull out one of the screaming 6 kids and see how long they can put up with it!LOL--teasing.
