Built a simple bracket and mounted a GMRS on top of my CB, still need to wire them in. I am very new to the GMRS radios so please let me know if there will be interference between the radios or not. I mounted them offset so I can mount a switch panel closer to me

So when I bought the suburban the guy said it leaned a little to one side, It was on a hill so I didnt really notice it. Since having it home I have noticed that ya it does lean to the driver side, looks like the driver spring is just sagging compared to the passenger side. Last night I pulled...

Ya ive thought about it but i dont want to have to lift this thing any higher than it already is. As this thing sits the rear cargo space is about my stomach and i dont want to need a step stool for the scouts to get stuff out lol

So there was a little bit of rust in the front fenders (all ive found so far) driver side passenger side but not anymore finished up the wings, capped them off, still deciding a few things.. where to put the front plate, do I want to add a hoop over the winch, do I want to add flush mount...

Well last week did not go as planned with 3-4 days with 20-30 mile an hour sustained winds made it a little hard to work on stuff outside so I didnt get any work done on this and had to just take the Tacoma camping with the scouts. The suburban does quite a bit of wandering on the road and there...

I was out this morning doing some CAD work and think I like this idea better than the tube work, not to say I wont possibly add a tube over the top anyways. I will cap the end also when completed

So heres the bumper I got hosed on. At first I was pretty mad about it, and I could make the excuse that it was at night, but theres times where you just have to accept when you get hosed. I stood there for a while trying to decide how to fix it, and none of the options were that...

Changed out all the exterior lights to LED's except the headlights which were the wrong size, I ordered a different set of headlights that changes it to a "sealed" housing that accepts an H3 bulb. Had to rewire most of the rear driver side light housing and the plate light. Still need to change...

Swapped out the tires today, threw my 37's on bead locks on the stepside and the 33's on black steelies that was on it went on the suburban. Also did the pex tubing trick on the door strikers of the suburban and the stepside, the doors shut way better and the pex is better than the electrical...

Parts are starting to roll in for it, cleaned out the glove box and center console, found a bunch of receipts for battery, tires, stereo, and a ton of fuel receipts with the mileage wrote on them. found out the lift was installed by Les Schwabs Tire so probably not done as part of the...

I have a basically new set of 33's on black steel wheels to install, ordered a bunch of maintenance parts for it, and some upgrade parts. just playing the waiting game right now. also found a 14 bolt 6 lug to install just as added insurance.

Picked this suburban up today, Its a 1989 GMC SLE that was a conversion by a company called Trail Wagons in Yakima WA (just up the freeway from here). The company has been out of business for several years now, they mainly did van conversions, were the creators of the Chinook campers that were...

Put the new ball joints in the driver side yesterday, had to get a new hub assembly because I destroyed the old one getting it off. ABS sensor goes out in the new hub 50 miles down the road and I have to return the whole hub for warranty, they wont just give me a new ABS sensor

I couldn't put it off any longer, after over a year I finally got off my butt and did it. were heading to PNW overland expo and the ball joints needed done. getting the wheel bearing assembly off the knuckle was the biggest pain in the ********, I ended up having to put one of the hub bolts back in...

Well the ball joints finally need done lol. hit a bump going over 60 and death wobble. I have had a cheap set of ball joints for over a year now but just couldn't bring myself to install something I didn't think would last. Yesterday I got a quote from a local shop to do the work... $2555 today...
