    Full size overlanding pros vs cons.

    My mega cab Chevy super short box is working out well for the most part. Bad mileage, catches wind. With wife, 2 kids & 2 dogs the big cab is nice. Just enough storage in cab & bed for all of the right gear. The TBI 350 is reliable & has enough power to get the 40” tires & dual transfer cases...

    Continental Divide Trail

    Interested in different routes. My cousin did the top 1/2 on his bike last year & plans to do the bottom 1/2 this year. I’m planning on running it with him in my 79 Bronco.

    Any members in Nebraska?

    Halsey? I have drove by a million times. Never stopped to play. Took my truck to Tuttle once. It was fun but the trails get pretty tight in my full size. Fullerton was fun but again, tight in a full-size. I caved in both of my passenger doors there. I’ll ping you when I get the time to come...

    Any members in Nebraska?

    Alright, I really want to get a core group built. Family oriented, reliable, capable rigs for a couple group trips a year. I’d like to start hitting the essentials. My son & I will more than likely be heading back to Moab for EJS. After that I want to get to Kansas Rocks & Colorado. I have a...

    1990 Suburban "Mountain truck"

    I can't wait to get it in 1 color so it does not look like such a pile...

    1990 Suburban "Mountain truck"

    Here is my Traction bar & belly. Traction bar I built from a OffRoad Design parts kit. HUGE difference! Skid plate is 1/4" AR200, protects well.

    1990 Suburban "Mountain truck"

    500mile road trip out to Western Nebraska deer hunting this weekend. Truck ran like a top & went absolutely anywhere we pointed it.

    1989 suburban build starting now

    Axles from the dodge for sure. Honestly I'd use the whole drivetrain. I'd consider boxing the front 1/3 of the frame & beefing up crossmembers. The Chevy frames are weak to begin with & a heavy motor will exaggerate this. Crossover steering & steering box brace. OffRoad Design is a 1 stop shop...

    1990 Suburban "Mountain truck"

    The shocks are Bilstene 5100's with 14" of travel, most of it down. Offroad Design spec'd them for me. That's a RuffStuff Diff cover, OffRoad Design HD tie rod, "its massive!" Spartin locker in a Dana 60

    1990 Suburban "Mountain truck"

    Front suspension setup. PSC steering box with provisions for hydro assist. Bump stops are off a 90's Chevy. They are probably a little soft considering how much I get into them. Really tried to keep this truck as low as possible. Limit straps from RuffStuff. RUFFStuff shock hoops. I had to...

    Crosstrek Overland-Light

    That looks awesome!

    1990 Suburban "Mountain truck"

    Getting ready for a hunting trip out west this weekend. Checking bolts, fluids, rotating tires. "In my opinion" this is how a steering ram should be mounted. In line with the range of motion of the tie rod. It's pretty well protected behind that BEEF HD OffroadDesign tie rod. We will have...

    1990 Suburban "Mountain truck"

    It started out as a crawler build. Then I sold my trailer & had to backtrack. It's "mega-cab" is nice & roomy compared to a 3+3 cab. The tail is nice & short & does not hang up on obstacles like a full Burb. I plan to add a utility rack & rooftop tent to the bed. Here's what is is mechanically...

    1990 Suburban "Mountain truck"

    Howdy, here is my Adventure truck. She's ugly but works amazingly well. All of the work in this thing is on the under side where you can't see it. Drives down the highway like a champ! 70mph all day. Just finished the mechanical last spring. The boy & I drove it from Lincoln NE out to Easter...

    Nebraska rig pictures.

    I see capable looking rigs around all of the time. I may not remember a name or a face so let's put some pictures of our rigs up here so we can recognize each other on the street/trail.
