I pretty much have the suspension dialed in minus maybe some different rear shocks. I plan on focusing on useful mods from here out including onboard air, a bigger power inverter (I have 2 now in front/rear), a spare tire/fuel/water carrier, rollout awning, and storage in the rear.

Looking forward to ideas and eventually dragging this thing across the country.

Cheers!

Love the rig. Miss my suburban. I want another one. Seeing this does not help the bug. :)

View attachment 53585 Changed up the wheels a little. Anthracite Grey plasti dip with the glossifier topcoat. I really like plasti dip for wheels, not so much for anything else. It's not very durable but it's easy to remove. These wheels have been 4 different colors and the chrome underneath still looks new.

Welded a few more bars to my jungle gym. Added some tabs to the top because I'm making some detachable limb risers. This is my DD and I don't want it looking like I'm on Safari 24/7 haha. I'm going to use light bar brackets for the cab since my rack doesn't go all the way to the front. Haven't seen anyone do that yet but I'm sure it's out there. I'll cut them down if they stick out too much. $14 on Amazon. Just need some cable , tensioners or springs, and clips.

Gonna let the old wallet cool for a bit but next addition will likely be a winch. Will run these 33s until fall and then mount 35s. Somewhere in there I'll add a rtt so I don't have to sleep in the back.

Thank you sir. Really enjoying this group, very laid back and way less opinionated (as far as aesthetics/taste go) than most forums I've visited. Probably the function over form nature of this lifestyle. The last forum I was in seemed to be fixated on color matching, chrome, and tow mirrors. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it does get boring :)

Bolted D rings to the roof. Used silicone and washers so not worried about them coming out. The bolts go through the roof support not just the sheet metal. Will probably move them to the roof rack if I ever extend it to the front. Welded some tabs to the bumper for eye bolts. Looks kind of neat haven't really seen them on a GM SUV before.
