The Mojave Road in a 1993 Suburban

[justcuz]

Others here on the board have done the Mojave Road. I have too but the last time was so many years ago (1978) I know stuff has changed. I got a call from one of my retired co-workers and was invited on their Mojave Road trip. I took about 30 seconds to say yes and the trip was on. I checked all the fluids on the Suburban, removed the 3rd seat, packed some food and drinks, threw in my sleeping bag and a warm coat and away I went.
I want to introduce the Suburban first though so you get an idea of what it is I am using on this trip. This is a 1993 Suburban I purchased used about 10 years ago. For some reason it came to me with GH front torsion bars 7161 lbs. capacity and the rest was standard Suburban chassis stuff. Over the years I have added an aluminum deep sump trans pan with a factory trailering package cooler, a Corvette servo in the transmission, 5 leaf rear springs with no overload and a 14 bolt semi-float rear axle. I also have 2004 wheels and 285/75x16 Yokohama Geolander AT tires and a set of Z71 Bilstein shocks Other wise this baby is as stock as the day it was manufactured. Except I found a set of leather seats on craigslist out of a 1999 and swapped them in.
