    Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Overland Build

    Thats what I was worried about too. I actually went and bought some Krylon UV resistant clear coat and sprayed the head lights. Seems to be holding up so far. If it fails, I'll just buy a new set. For the ones you used, were they OEM or aftermarket?

    HITCHGATES

    I have a few posts regarding my RIGd UltraSwing on my build thread. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/chevrolet-suburban-2500.40203/ I chose them because I liked the sturdier appearance, and the fact that it came standard with the license plate holder. It was important for me as...

    MOST COMFORTABLE RIDING VEHICLE

    Definitely a Lexus GX. I had a GX470 with the adjustable shocks, and I always had the dial to full comfort setting. Honestly the best riding vehicle I've experienced. Much better than my Jaguar XJ. Just depends on your budget. The GX460 has the adjustable ride settings, but only on the high...

    Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Overland Build

    It is plastic, you're right it probably will. I think I'm just looking for a good reason to cut the front bumper like the Border Patrol GM trucks. This Search and Rescue setup has the exact same Warn Brush Guard as I do, but I am hesitant to cut the bottom two mounts off to make it look right...

    Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Overland Build

    I've thought about it several times. I haven't done it yet since some of it had to be cut to fit the lower mounts of the brush guard. I've already cracked it on the drivers side from a rock on a tight turn. If it gets ripped off somehow off road or wherever, I won't be replacing it.

    Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Overland Build

    With all the additional weight in the front, I knew that I had to do something to raise the front end back up (after many thousands of miles of driving and thought). Taking a quick look at the front, I discovered that I had destroyed the control arm bump stops. I ordered a new set of Moogs and...

    Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Overland Build

    Next item up was to do something about the cloudy headlights that were affecting the light output. I thought about buying new factory style headlight assemblies on Amazon, but saw many replacements were plagued with water intrusion issues. I've never personally polished a headlight, but I...

    Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Overland Build

    It took me a long time to decide on what winch I wanted to go with. I ended up choosing a WARN EVO VR12. I chose this one for several reasons: excellent warranty, reputation, and the choice between wired and wireless operation. I struggled on the choice between synthetic line and the steel...

    Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Overland Build

    Since I knew that I had no intention of lifting it like I did my other, there is a greater chance of getting stuck due to ground clearance issues. For this, I wanted to look at getting a winch added to help out in certain circumstances. I couldn't find many options that I liked out there. I...

    Beautiful Range Rover and the landscape is just gorgeous! I had the pleasure of living overseas for a while in Belgium and I got to visit the UK frequently.

    Where did you install your OB emblem?

    Both on the C-Pillar above the trim badges.

    Thank you, there's more mods to post, but I will get to that later. Yeah the space looks odd if you do not fill it with anything, but fortunately they offer mounts for a high lift jack, Rotopax, and a small folding table that adds utility and balances the look. It is a shame they didnt extend...

    Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Overland Build

    Its a major pain to get out on my own, and I cause cosmetic damage to each when I do. I use a hand truck to move it once I get it out. But it leaves a good size area for me to load whatever onto it and I like having the slide out capability like my friends 4Runner. Since it is metal on...

    Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Overland Build

    Since I don't have any children, I never need the third row. In its place is a sliding tray by Highway Products and a removable box with drawer by Truck Tool Box. When I am not actively going anywhere, I will throw what I can into the drawer, and then leave the cooler or whatever so that I...

    Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Overland Build

    What I wanted to do next was remove the running boards. I wanted to get some type of protection for them, but I was unable to find anything I was super happy with. I ended up going for some N-Fab nerf steps. In this photo, you can also see where I mounted the Overland Bound emblem. I bought 2...

    Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Overland Build

    Overall, the RIGd hitch carrier has worked very well, and I would recommend this product to anyone in the market. It has held up over extended rough road/intense vibrations, through towing loads and being struck by car. It does not make noise or wobble in the hitch while driving. I used a...
