    @Seaweed - Nice rig. What type of grill guard/bumper is that? How sturdy is it? I've been looking to add some front end protection after a few too many close calls with deer at twilight.

    Overland Equipped 2004 GMC Savana 1500 Explorer Limited SE AWD

    We have almost exactly the same vehicle! Mine is an '03 with a Chevy badge and a G80 LSD. I'd love to have an Eaton Selectable locker. I also just completed a 2.5-3" lift kit with rear springs from Boulder Off-road. I've owned it now for a little over and year and loved it for skiing and mtn...

    Now that some of the core ride quality work is complete, I'm turning my attention to a couple other issues, and would appreciate guidance. I need to purchase my headlight assemblies. Any recommendations for a decent aftermarket upgrade? I have the big blocky looking lights rather than the...

    Well...It's done! Before and after shots of the Boulder Off-road Pro-Runner Plus Kit (Bilstein 5100's all around, plus 1300lbs stronger leaf springs). The van had clearly not had any suspension work done in 20yrs, and my poor mechanic had to battle the thing for 2.5days to get everything...

    Hey - I'd be interested in buying the tent. I'm on the East Coast so not sure if shipping becomes prohibitive.

    I swear it used to be on the page, but I can't find the price anymore. Sorry for being daft.

    Yeah. Good call. I've read your post (Read all the 66pgs of post 🤷‍♂️). I'm going to stick with a modest 1.5-2" raise in the front for the time being. With the heavier spring pack in the back, I might have a little stink bug, but I ride heavy in the rear: I'm still adding more...

    Boulder Off-Road 2' Pro-Runner Plus Kit en route! Finally, decided to bite the bullet and address the needs for a proper suspension upgrade. I have a few worn and broken parts (Broken leaf spring link, sagging 20yr old shocks, whacked out alignment, oversized BFG KO2's that have never really fit...

    Thanks! I I already had it replaced with another 145amp. I'll still be able to run a 30-40amp B2B charger which is fine. The extra juice would have been nice, but I think it will be fine.

    High Output Alternator Help! My alternator just died on my 2003 Express AWD. It currently has a 145 amp unit, and I'd like to take the opportunity to upgrade to a 250-ish amp unit for charging house batteries and running accessory items. I can't seem to find a section of the thread here with...

    FUSE HELP!!! Does anyone have an idea on what fuse(s) control the cigarette lighters in the cab of an 2003? I've consulted online guides and popped the fuse boxes open (under hood and under drivers seat) to find the fuses intact in both the main and aux cigarette lighter slots. I replaced...

    Food storage in Bear Country

    If you are in the Northeast, particularly in CT, we have lots and lots of Black bears that are extremely familiar, unafraid, and regularly fed by humans (intentionally and inadvertently). Some have figured out how to get into cars, though they don't know how to get out. They're basically 500lbs...
