Hey guys I'm in Stanford 5 min. From the little belts. My Overlanding rig is a 97 GMC Suburban 2500 which is in the middle of a power plant change. Going from a 5.7 vortec to an 8.1. My overlanding crew consists of Zander the German Shepherd and Nhasi the Rhodesian Ridgeback. Best crew ever...
Great article! I am working on a true pig! A 97 2500 big block suburban and not the 454 vortec! It's a 600 hp 496. I find a lot of pros and cons to keeping I is as well as doing a SAS... I would love to hear your opinion on the two for this rig.
She no longer looks like this but no current pics on my phone. She is lifted, on big tires and is currently having her 5.7 replaced with a stout 8.1. She is SUBZILLA
Hello I haven't posted in a while so here's an update on the Suburban. I did t as l about switching to a land rover but ultimately decided to stick with the GMC.
Through this horrible winter I did get the new transmission put in. I also got away from doing an SAS and Cummins diesel swap. I...
Well this project came to a screeching hault and went a different direction. After looking over the Suburban I decided it is just too big for what I want and want to do with it, so I went looking for something a bit smaller something more off road capable and something I didn't have to have a...
Well I guess up north here is different, I carry on myway hip (holster) have no problems. Just don't carry in the weigh station. I only run about 3 or 4 states and all don't worry about knives, guns etc. I see drivers all the time wearing sheath knives. I guess its all about the area your in...
I hate not to be able to edit on the app!
It was meant to say no form of LE has ever asked to look inside my truck.

While I don't doubt your story, I think there has to be more to it. I've driven a truck for 18 yrs. and have never had any form of LE. There are NO federal laws against carrying knives, guns etc. In a commercial vehicle. As a matter of fact the federal dot rule book says they won't get involved...
Following ! I love full size builds! and am working on a 97 Suburban now (I love the square body GMS) although I am flirting with the idea of getting an 80s AMC 4x4 eagle wagon for shorter trips, I like unique! Anyways I had to chuckle at needing the full size so everyone can have their space! I...
Don't have any photos but it was an 83 CJ7 renegade. 1st trip off road with it I cut a brake line had a tow truck pick me up then the tow truck broke down so at 18 all my friends saw a tow truck towing a tow truck towing my jeep all the way to the house!
