The time has come in my family's life to say goodbye to our Suburban. It was fun, it was stressful, it will be missed when it goes. I've been working on it too much lately, and since we are towing a cool little tent trailer, the small block 350 (even as powerful as it is) was lacking in...

My wife made me do it! :) To go along with our Suburban, we now have a 1986 Starcraft Starlite 17. First things first, it was way too low, so we lifted it about 7 inches. That brought the tongue up to about where my drop hitch is, maybe just an inch off or so. There was also a broken lift...

I understand that the way to go nowadays is to use a tablet, iPad, or whatever, but I'm considering a used Lowrance GPS for my Suburban. The Suburban is an '89 square body; meaning I have plenty of room on the dash. I'm not looking for turn by turn directions, but for the price, something to...

A buddy of mine (he's on here, I forget his username), Bobby, put together a little trip to Cow Mountain in Ukiah CA, March 1st through 2nd. Here's the story, pics coming after: Thursday it was raining in Santa Rosa. I met my buddy Bobby at his house, and we hit the store for some food after...

I've finally made the decision to get my Ham Radio license. After my last trip to Yosemite, and listening to the CB all the way back, I decided I needed something better. I currently have a nice CB setup in my Suburban: A Midland 5001z radio, and a Radio Shack 64" whip on the back bumper...

At this point, my vehicle is pretty much ready for our upcoming Yosemite trip. We are leaving Rohnert Park Thursday evening, and stopping in Mountain View for a set of used Smittybilt step bars, which will make my wife happy. I may also be selling my old rear leaf springs on the way, which is...

This past weekend, we were finally able to take the Suburban out on a nice long-ish camping trip. Long-ish, because we have to work still, and having 4 days off is like a vacation when you normally work 5 12 hour days :wings: I took Thursday the 12th off as well, to get ready for the trip...

Well, it's apparently been a few months since I've been on here. Too much work... So I had struggled with the thought of selling my much loved 1987 Grand Wagoneer... and sadly, last week, I had to let it go. Didn't pass CA smog, even after a new cat & muffler. It has now moved to So Cal...

Hey all, I'm looking for photos of modified Suburbans. Reason is, I'm probably going to be purchasing one in the near future, to use as a second vehicle for backcountry adventures. Currently, I run around in an '87 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, but I want a second vehicle for other people to borrow...

My last trip was really a "pre-run" of sorts to show some other people how the road was to get to Usal Beach. And, well, why not go again, since I have a weekend with nothing scheduled? Since getting back the last time, the belts were loose on the old Grand Wagoneer, and the tires, being out...

Hey all, It sure is difficult to plan a trip anymore. There are so many things in life that "need" to be done, but getting out is high on my list. This trip almost wasn't going to happen, but I'm making it happen! A few of us are headed to Usal Beach this weekend. A co-worker of mine...

Hey all, I was introduced to this site by a co-worker of mine, who reminded me that I don't go out "wheeling" per se, but my tastes are more towards going on smaller expeditions. I have a 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer: Current setup: Rough Country 3" springs front, blocks & add-a-leaf rear Stock...
