    Cancelled 2nd Annual Buena Vista June Jam (Colorado Front Range)

    Neal thanks for checking in. Turns out I'm not going to be able to go. I'm buried at work and we'll be working through the weekend. I'll be on the next one. Thanks, Steve

    Just a quick update. I ordered a yaesu ftm-400xdr today. I'll post pics when I get the installation done.

    Great looking ride. Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely look at that. I see you have fender flares. What brand are they?

    I did have to trim the plastic that is towards the front of the vehicle directly behind the fender liner. I then zip tied the fender liner to it to give the tire more clearance. When the tire is mounted you will know what I'm talking about. Here are a couple of pictures. This was a super...

    JKU Ben, just to be clear that interior picture with the woodwork is not mine. That is from SubOverland and is the idea I'm going to run with on my own vehicle. I haven't even started :)

    This truck had a brush guard on it when I got it and when I removed it there were no tow hooks. I purchased some used ones on EBay. I was able to bead blast, paint them red and install them this weekend. I like the little splash of color. Total cost was about $50.

    Thant my friend is a nice ride! Love that blacked out look. The wheel color, is that titanium? I like the contrast of them. I had debated that color myself but couldn't find any examples.

    Thanks guys! So I really need to start thinking about what to build next. I've got some 1/4 plate sitting around I can use to make under armor or I can get some tubing and build rock sliders. A swing out tire and Jerry can carrier are also on this list. There are some options above also. As...

    One of my projects is to design something like the picture below. It must be removable without damaging the car and retain the second row bench when installed. I can remove the third row when this is installed for trips. So when I get where I'm going the second row would roll forward and this...

    09 Suburban Transformation

    So I knew I needed new tires and debated a long time about tire size and whether or not to buy new rims. In the end I decided to replace wheels and tires. I really debated between 33" and 35" tires and finally decided I didn't want to go to big and have to do a lot of cutting and pounding to...

    09 Suburban Transformation

    I've had issues with the front end ever since we purchased the vehicle. It was eating tires fairly quickly with a shake that just wouldn't go away. I had installed a front end rebuild kit at one point a few years ago but although it was better the issue wasn't fully solved. In fact after a...
