Hi guys, ive kinda posted in one of the suburban topics a couple of times, but thought maybe you would like to see what im doing. I got an 89 Chevy Suburban that i plan on really decking out for camping/fishing and emergency/bug out applications. I have some wild ideas in the mix, but we will see if they pan out. After i bought it i took it for a spin down some nearby muddy roads to test the 4x4, i couldnt get the thing stuck no matter what i tried. I even went thru a ton in 2 wheel drive that i never would have made it in in the old F150 I had. Gotta love all that extra weight on the rear tires! Heres what Ive got so far.
This was right after the test drive testing out the 4X4:
getting ready to take off the running boards. I know it dosnt look like it, but even here it has 2 inch spacer blocks in it
Me and my buddy Paul just finished grinding off the old running boards.
Now Im getting it ready for redneck rust repair and paint. I have a ton of ideas in store for this bad boy, including a compartment setup i can sleep on (much like the set up camper toppers on some of the trucks on this forum). Also planning on putting on a good used set of 33x13.5 inch off road tires from one of the secondhand dealers around here too. shouldnt cost too much that way and give me even more clearance and utitlity. Hopeing this next weekend get booking on the redneck rust repair i mentioned earlier, and also maybe get to cracking on the paint. Il be documenting the whole project if you guys wish to see it
