It's actually their : TRUCK CANOPY OR TRAILER SLIMLINE II RACK KIT / TALL / 1255MM(W) X 2368MM(L) - BY FRONT RUNNER...

Congrats! It's a great community. Even though I'm a real newbie, I've met some great people and learned quite a bit. Have fun and get out there and explore!

Well she came back from the fabricator last night so time for an update. 1. Bumper and winch OK, so the aftermarket bumper selection for a 2013 Suburban is slim to non-existent. I had a good idea what I wanted and that included a winch mount. There aren’t many options and you can count...

2. Dual Battery Setup So I spent a long time looking at options for the dual battery setup before settling on the hardware I picked. Some of the things that went into consideration were: -Override switch for the House battery as a backup to ‘jump start’ a drained main battery -Separate...

Thanks, that's a good trick with the resistor. I'll have to remember that for the future. I believe the diff drop was about 1 inch. No problem, I love seeing good stuff from others especially about land yachts. That's a good setup; I don't think my wife would let me get away with a 9" lift.

1. Lift, Tires and Wheels Skyjacker 3.5 inch Suspension Lift BFG All -Terrain T/A KO2 285/55-20 Pro Comp Series 61 Cognito Wheels (20x9.5) So the lift kit selection presented the first monkey wrench in one word – Autoride. This severely limited my lift kit options down to only a...

The plans in general are to modify the Suburban into a capable, comfortable overland rig. I have the time now to travel and explore and there isn't pavement leading to everywhere I'd like to go. At the same time, I realize that 95%+ of my time will be highway miles. That was a big factor in the...

OK, so it's time to kickoff this epic Suburban build thread. I've been putting it off for too long. There needs to be more love out there for Fullsize Overland rigs; so let's get the party started. But first a little perspective is in order... The Truck: She's a sweet little 2013 Suburban 1500...

We had a good group in the 'corner'. It was a pleasure to meet you! My Suburban passed the 'graduation' test of getting us through the mud to leave Overland East! After watching so many get bogged in front of us, it was a concern but she carried us out in fine fashion. The weekend was a great...

I'm not an expert. But I was in west TN/KY a few weeks ago and had the opportunity to go through Land Between the Lakes and it was absolutely awesome. There are quite a few off road opportunities there and camping spots. It was beautiful. https://www.landbetweenthelakes.us/ I did stop in at the...

Well, it's very close and getting excited. I'll share this courtesy of my brother in NC - @smokin_2k . https://www.exploreasheville.com/trip-ideas/seasonal-fun/fall/interactive-fall-color-map/ We may be close to peak fall color for Overland Expo East. The late start to fall may delay fall...

Thanks for the great build videos. I really like how they turned out. Though I believe it would be beyond my current welding skills so I'm going to have to find someone to do the fabrication. Are you pleased with how the Line-x is holding up on them?

I really like your drawers and bed setup. Who did you get to build your bumper(s)? I'm really struggling with a Suburban to get a similar setup. Talked to someone local about a MOVE bumper with not much of an optimistic outlook and thinking of travelling a few miles for a more custom shop that...

Well, we'll see where this road goes. She goes in for surgery - a lift, wheels and tires day after tomorrow. I'll start a build thread and stop hijacking this Silverado thread with Suburban shenanigans. Though they may be apropos for the Silverados. I'm still just jealous at the relatively...

I'm having the same problem with my 2013 Suburban; but the options are almost non-existent for bumpers and sliders. I was looking at these guys from Montana that offer a diy bumper kit that can be fitted with a winch: https://www.movebumpers.com/chevy-bumper-kits I found a local fabricator for...

Well I'm starting down this road now. I have a 2013 Suburban with 135k+ miles and had been planning to buy a new 4runner and do a full build that I already had figured out. Over the past couple of weeks, I've re-thought things and I'm now going to start building up the Suburban. Just ordered a...

That puts a new perspective on gear organization. Put it in park and step out to open a gate and your rig goes up in flames.

Newbie here planning to head up from South Florida to the Charlotte area on the 6th/7th to pick up my brother and heading to the rally point on the 8th to join the group for camping. Looking forward to my first expo and meeting some new friends.

Thanks very much for the warm welcome! I'll get some pics up when I can get them.

New member saying hi from South Florida. I'm looking forward to learning from others here. I'm not new to offroad or camping but I'm looking forward to overlanding. Current vehicles are a 2006 GMC 2500HD (4wd) and a 2013 Chevy Suburban (4wd). But I'm most excited looking forward to my next...
