I am from the high desert, CA. Wheeled all over out there to include my time stationed at Nellis AFB, NV. I hear you on the rapid narrowing of trails.
…and its not like you can turn around on the side of slope that went from 8’ wide to 5’. Lol
Ain’t that the truth, navigating those trails can get sketchy.

Dixie is a work in progress, as she has received a new crate 460 7.5 liter engine, steering gear box, power steering pump and hoses, radiator, A/C compressor, starter, alternator, upgraded shocks all around, flow Master exhaust,
15G Power Tank, and many more things just to keep her reliable as we are generally one of the oldest rigs on the trails.

Bought this One owner, 96’ F-150 302/ auto, 4x4 super cab, short box, recently. Stock 15” wheel with 31x10.50 LT Nokia’s All-terrain’s. I have some uni-strut, that I bought to make a frame to mount my RTT, just high enough to have room for my slide out 12 VDC refrigerator. Oh and take off the mud flaps and tool box.Just bought the truck, made it home, took the pic! Vance.

I thought I'd re-post my rig. It's been like 5 or 6 years since I did.

I'm in a 1970 K20 Suburban.
ZZ4 350 under the hood.
4l80e transmission.
203/205 doubler t-case.
Deaver progressive rate leafs.
King 16" 2.5 - triple bypass shocks.
4.11 gears.
38" Cooper stt maxx around bronze Raceline rims.

Just getting into overlanding and learning. What I do notice is the lack of full sized SUV and trucks. Just wondering who out there is like me rolling in a GMT800 2500 Suburban.

Here is my 2003 Chevy Suburban 2500:

So far ive done some basic suspension work. Congnito leveling kit w/upper control arms, Fox 2.0 monotype shocks, and keys to get 2.5" lift. Then the Congnito steering brace kit that every GM owner should do regardless if lifted or not. Also added the BFG K02 all terrains 285/75/16 essentially 33" tires.

Next up will be to do the 1.5" block and u bolt along with the Fox 2.0to finish out the rear end. Looking to also do the Bilstein steering stabilizer then HD idler arm, inner outer tie rods etc. One more item for the HD setup that will smooth out the ride would be the Silastic shackles/isolators.


I'm with you!
