I yanked an extra set of stock rails from a wrecked truck to double the capacity of the rack on my 96 Suburban. I used to haul lumber up there, way heavier than a RTT. It’s cheap and easy!

So the big reason to kill the ABS on these is that many of the modules fail and replacements are NLA. I usually just yank the fuse and pull the cluster and mush the bulb with pliers (it’s soldered in) so I don’t have to look at the light. In some extreme cases, stabilitrak equipped vehicles...

Legally imported, clear Texas title, all accessories included, keys to all locks, factory service manual (in English). $17,000 obo

I don’t think you’d have to fabricate anything. Just unbolt the seat, drill a few holes, and move it back however far you want. The floor is literally flat all the way to the back doors…

I see they ditched the factory AC. Vintage Air might keep you cool in there between an enclosed trailer and the Vegas Coliseum floor on a cool Vegas October morning for SEMA but you’ll be rolling down the windows for relief on a real summer day once the roof gets hot… You need the factory...

A swivel raises the seat a few inches. The floor is totally flat, it would be stupid simple to move the base back a few inches if needed. I’m 5’9” and I find my ‘98 2500 Express to be very comfortable for long distance driving. It would probably be my only vehicle if I didn’t need a 3/4 ton...

Also bear in mind that cranking the bars reduces down travel (sometimes to zero with keys). This is hard on ball joints and everything else in the front end. It also diminishes ride quality and can make driving (especially evasive maneuvers) “interesting.”

Ford has offered selectable lockers in the Super Duty line for some time now. The option isn’t available on DRW trucks. I think there’s a reason for that. The available traction of a dual rear wheel assembly increases the likelihood of overloading the differential. I know there are probably...

Well the victory was short lived. The original TV cable was frayed through and hanging on by a thread so I replaced it when the transmission was rebuilt. Shortly thereafter it went to leaking profusely to the point where it wasn’t even driveable. I don’t know where the first replacement cable...

Detroit Speed makes a nice wiper upgrade for 73-83 trucks. Unfortunately my Suburban is a 1984 so major surgery would be required to retrofit the older dash sheet metal, bezel, and steering column to make it not look hacked…

That’s true but it’s so much easier to cut straight lines! This truck has only been painted once but they skimmed the whole thing with bondo, even where it’s straight. I’m just cutting out rust, welding in patches, and fairing it in with filler. It’s never going to be a show rig…

Holley makes a drop in LED now that looks like a regular sealed beam for what it it’s worth…

Time for my two year bump Larry, what’s up?

I also tossed on a Harbor Freight 12k winch that I had in a box in the garage. The old Warn 8k is still down from when I stole the control box and motor for the 12k on my Excursion project a few years ago.

Well the Suburban is back on the road as my daily driver again. I took the transmission to a friend of mine (I pulled it out over a year ago) and had it rebuilt. Other than that I had to replace the batteries and repair a few wires to the tail lights that were rat chewed. Just in time for...

There's an outfit that sells on ebay, XRF I think. They make HD tie rod assemblies for the border patrol tahoes. They work great. Once you have the keys cranked or aftermarket keys, the Cognito upper control arms restore your ball joint angle and give you back some droop travel.

I had a work truck SRW 6.2 4x4 with a service body. I loved it but then the company card paid the fuel bill.

32" is ALMOST 33" in my book... Looks like the 285/70R17 Hakkapellita is your solution!

235/80R17's are available in pure winter/snow patterns and are almost 33" tall...

AEV makes their money selling complete conversions to new car dealers. Their business model doesn't support any platform not in current production. 99% of the guys that buy a $80,000+ Prospector are gonna either move on or buy another before it's worn out...
