Bump

Great stuff everyone. Here's some pics of my Tahoe from over the years. More can be found on my build thread: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2003-tahoe-build-family-overland-rig.192115/

V.0 - Stock

V.1 - Level lift and 285/75R16 Duratracs, plus some other stuff

V.2 - Slightly more lift, upgraded more suspension parts, rock sliders, 285/75R17 AT3Ws on AR Baja 17x8 zero off-set rims, swing out tire carrier from Rigd Supply, V.2 on the roof-rack (with MaxTraxs mounted, awning, spot for a canoe, etc.), Apple Car Play and backup camera, new wheel bearings, ball joints, lower control arms, wow... the list goes on.

At 160k now, not sure it there will be a V.3 at this point, if so it would include; a front winch bumper (like ARB), some way to make the front suspension better (coil-overs?).
Next move is to get a Shutt XV-2 trailer and a big CVT rooftop tent for it. With the kids getting older we need more space for longer camping trips. Maybe one day my boys will get to drive it...

Where are you located? I noticed your Missouri and Natural State Overland stickers. I'm in SW Missouri, and my friend Randy actually started Natural State Overland!

Southeast missouri. I will be going down to the rendezvous next month for the first time. I go to the moutian grove area quite a bit. I'm also part of the show me state overland group on Facebook if you haven't heard about them.

LOL, I can help out on that BUMP too!

I posted this on my build thread, but the $55 Go Rhino Grille/Brush Guard has a new clean finish...cleaned up the rust and flaky paint, hit it with Rustoleum Rust Reformer and then Rustoleum Pro Grade Bed Liner. Need to put the rubber back on the uprights and get it mounted to the front end. I'm picking up a used grille tonight (mine is cracked through on the upper passenger side) and going to black that out then install it with new lights, and the guard here. Might also pull the front bumper and go black too.

Suburban sliders on the way

Any plans for steps on the sliders? I'm thinking of building some sliders for mine and I'd like to have integrated steps and maybe some puddle lights.

Looks nice. I did this on my Tahoe. Added a kickout in the back for the passengers and to access the roof better.

Im thinking about sliding them out to make a step after running without sliders I realized the frame protects the body for the most parts and if I weld the sliders on and scoot them out and make steps that it should still protect the rockers.

Here’s a few of my 04 Yukon XL. No action shots on trails but definitely our camping, traveling, towing rig. We’ll be exploring soon enough.
