Re: How many 4wd Suburban guys do we have?

Good looking trucks. We've had two, a 2wd 96 GMC and a 2005 Z71 Chevy, both white and purdy. My oldest son wants a square burb, he's 11 now, I'm hoping the idea holds.:lol:

Re: How many 4wd Suburban guys do we have?

Slowly but surely finishing up the lost interest in my 6.0 swap hoping to take it mudding soon sometimes I wish the 350 never left as it served more than faithfully

Re: How many 4wd Suburban guys do we have?

I see so many unfinished projects out there ... I'm down to painting the axles and parts of the chassis and sanding and rubbing the paint .
Getter done to quote the Larry the Cable Guy !

Time and money, always seems I have plenty of one and none of the other. I will be able to do engine and interior projects on both trucks this year but no paint jobs are planned.

What was the lift and the tire size on the old silver and blue one? Looks like you put a set of F-250 aluminum wheels on it.

Re: How many 4wd Suburban guys do we have?

Hey jsfucttruck what wheels are on the silver looking suburban along with step bar I've never seen that looks great might have to steal the idea im tired of jumping up in my truck and then listening to everybody else complain as well lol

as far as my progress on the 6.0 swap finally got the gas tank only to realize i forgot the o-ring for the sending unit so back down it will come this weekend then gotta get one fuel line and get it wired in and tear the crap out of it hopefully within 2 months

To be honest I think that the wheels are a cheap China made junk.. There is no brand name anywhere on them. They just have the weight rating and "Made In China" stamped on the inside. I took my family down to KOH this year, and I swear I bent a wheel on the smallest bump at speed.. I took them to a place to see if they could fix the slight misalignment, and they wouldn't even touch them. Now I can't find a replacement(I'm not looking to hard though). I really like the Dick Cepek DC2's..

The running boards are SmittyBuilt

Re: How many 4wd Suburban guys do we have?

Here's my '90:

http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/e...n/100_0403.jpg

Ignore the white wheel....it's the spare. Had the normal tire on there bulge on me. Getting new tires on either Monday or Tuesday.
Also....the white around the rear windows is where I haven't finished painting yet. Rather than mask of the windows, and weatherstripping I am going to wait until I replace the weatherstripping and window motors. Did the fronts this way, and it made it so much simpler.

Re: How many 4wd Suburban guys do we have?

Here's my former FD 1979 K20, 350/TH400, Doug Nash Engineering Equip. Part-Time 4WD conversion. 4 inch RC lift with 36" HMMVEE Tires, GM 10 Bolt & 14 bolt FF with 3.73.

Crappy pic i know, but this is it's good side

That is my truck. No longer lifted but, it was 4" rancho lift, 36x12.5R16 super swaper TSL radials on stock pre-super duty ford f350 wheels. I have a couple more pics somewhere from when it was lifted still. I'll see if i can find them.

LOL actually its the lift/wheels/tires from the 90! So, they are the same. 4" rancho lift, 36.12.5R16 Super Swamper TSL Radials and stock pre-super duty ford f350 wheels. I did however add the NBS hub caps and special hub caps on the 78 to make it look more finished.
