No clue, I had to cut it off and move it back six inches, I also vhenged it to 4" instead of 3. But it is a cummins swap so who knows about a stock motor. I hear the 60s series is a better fit, but I found this one for super cheap so I made it work. The wind shield line isnt perfect. I slightly...
Yeah I riveted hose clamps to the fender. None of the mounting points on the snorkel would have worked without some serious time or modification, a couple would have required tearing a lot of the car down to access . i.e. behind the firewall, inside the door support column, under the hood mount...
I have 4 of them and they have worked on my 8k lbs suburban with no issue.
I believe in a hybrid approach to buying things. I bought a warn m15 for a winch, I buy OEM or better aftermarket for mechanical parts but for a rarely used item that I can, in most circumstances, find a workaround...
I use the milwakee cordless tools. I like the massive amount of tools compact size, fast charging, solid power. I generally carry an angle grinder, sawz all, ratchet, impact driver/drill hand vacuum and a rotary tool. That has pretty much covered all of my needs. There are 2 form factors for...
I wanted a 2nd gen cummins, 3rd row seating smog exempt suv.
Ended up swapping (I say that like it is finished, Ha!) a 95 cummins into a 95 k2500 suburban. I grew up
With a suburban so there is that sentimental tie also.
I wanted to find a square body diesel suburban but finding a decent...
I second the sony mirrorless, find a used a6000 - a6500 $600-$1100 if bought new. Then if she wants to upgrade she can go to a nice amount sony camera and use the same lenses, then when she grows out of the lenses she can upgrade those all while staying in the same camera and lens family...
So the lines and angles match up pretty well and nobody makes a snorkel for a 95 suburban.
My main issue is deciding on how to connect it to the airbox. My airbox sits passenger side corner about 10inches off the firewall. The 80 series sits much farther forward so the snorkels connection is...
Did some body work, front right fender got pushed in and up a bit so the hood didn't match up any more and wouldn't latch.
Was it the safest and best solution? Maybe not, but it was fast, it worked surprisingly well, and my hood now latches. I only put a couple hundred lbs of force on it plus...
Blue lake off road made my rear bumper/tire carrier. Only place I found that will make stuff for older gm/chevy stuff that is direct bolt on
The skid plate and belly armor can be made yourself pretty easily.
Sliders I think I'll have to make myself.

espresso machine. Itr seems ridiculous, but my rig is huge, I have a solar panel and dual batteries, so why not? The steamer can also be used to heat up milk for hot chocolate so hey, dual purpose.
those croissant pastries in a can+marshmellow+brown sugar+cinnamon, make little dumplings out of them, make a little aluminum foil oven to put next to the fire, or make individual foil pouches for them put next to campfire until cooked.
I had some minor mechanical issues my last time there. I fixed them but to be on the safe side I called the trip early. It leaves a sour taste to not finish my planned route so I am heading back up with the dog and anyone else that wants to join in.
Plan is to drive to bishop on friday, wake up...
That's one of the main reasons I am working on this project. I can fix most things on it with zip ties and a hammer. A newer vehicle would probably be more reliable, get better milage, be more comfortable, be more efficient, (maybe I am talking myself into a new rig...) but worst comes to...
I ran into some mechanical issues last time I headed to coyote flats. New to me old vehicle engine swap, found some issues I wasn't aware of. Had to take half a day to fix, then cut the trip short just to be safe. All fixed up and good to go.
Laid back trip, dog, family friendly, looking to...
