    Overlanding?

    My last trip was 280 miles and I didn't bother bringing extra fuel. I can carry 10 gallons in my rear rack if needed. I have been thinking about cutting the rear cross member above the spare tire and putting in a new cross member to make room for a 15 to 20 gallon transfer tank back there.

    Overlanding?

    Skid plates wont be necessary if it isn't going rock crawling. There are companies that make the bumpers. Who wants to drop $20k.. I did and it works great... This what you can get for less than 20k

    Overlanding?

    Mine is a very capable 2011 and it can be done for less than $20 grand. There are some companies still that build bumpers and winch mounts for these. My airbags are still working and at 175,000 everything is still working fine.

    4 inch Rancho lift, 34 inch tires and steel bumpers front and rear.

    Thank you. I will be adding some in the future most of the critical things holding oil are pretty protected. So most of my additions will be more one the lines of sliders and stuff to keep things form poking into soft stuff.

    Overlanding?

    They are pretty easy to make but, when you weld the angle on be sure to adjust it first because they are not 90 degrees.

    Overlanding?

    Yes, it is designed into all cars otherwise on a long trip you would die... lol In the same manner if you turn off the AC / heater completely there will still be some airflow coming in. To test that idea just wash your windows and you will normally smell the washer fluid. There actually was...

    Overlanding?

    Overland is NOT rock crawling and most real over landers would not consider any rock crawling unless there was absolutely no way around it. Not to many of the overland people traveling the world on EP have vehicles that could handle it. Contrary to some incorrect statements on here if you go...

    Overlanding?

    My wife was having a lot of problems with dust in our rig she would suffer for a few days after a trip. When I removed the vents and opened up the rear AC area for cleaning I was surprised by the amount of dust inside. So I installed a charcoal impregnated cabin filter it reduced amount of dust...

    Overlanding?

    What year is your Tahoe? What gearing and tries are you running? Don't you have a 8 inch lift too? Mine has a 4 inch lift so the aerodynamics are a little better with a lower frontal area. I am also running 35's My gearing is 4.10 until I re-geared mine got terrible millage as low as 12...

    Overlanding?

    I stripped all but the front seats out of mine this helps reduce weight and it gives me a lot more storage space down low. My rig is still under 7,000 pounds full tank and fully loaded with two people on board. With the bed platform I have it is easy to access gear under there and my...

    Overlanding?

    We can spend our whole life on looking for something better and you will always find better but, then you will start all over and you will waste a lot of time building instead of getting out and doing it... That is a great start it shows it can be done and I bet it will go in a lot more places...

    Overlanding?

    By the way that is very bad grammar... OK Let's see on Expedition Portal in the NON POSER section I am sure we wont find you in it though. That would be people who actually have the drive to do REAL overland travel and adventure. When we look at the section "In progress Adventures" To be fair...

    I am sure plenty of people can understand what I posted above at least anyone with an elementary education. You haven't really made any valid points yet your points you may have thought you made contradict some of the things you said.... So far as you being being mean lol I have had plenty of...

    I am not responding to bash you or hurt your ego or to start a thread war. I also do not want to go point for point against what you are saying. Your post above certainly has a lot of condescending overtones to it and are not what I expect from a super moderator on an informational forum.. I...

    Overlanding?

    The guys at Expedition Portal also have plenty of IFS trucks too. And if you don't think a Tahoe can do it then why does Expedition Portal have the folowing full size van on their front page doing it...

    Overlanding?

    IFS and Tahoe's work fine for overlanding... They are very capable off road at least the pre 2014 models are. I run a 4 inch lift with 35 tires and nothing has stopped it yet. My last trip was 380 miles and 250 miles of it was off pavement and off road. I did have to pull a Rubicon jeep out...

    2010 Suburban Rear Bumper

    Front & rear floor jack lift points

    I lifted mine with a farm jack on the hitch and my steel bumper flexed the frame enough to crack my rear tail light.. It moved about 1/2 inch... For the back end I just lift the differential and toss jack stands under there...

    Front & rear floor jack lift points

    I wonder how stable those would be in the dirt? It might come in handy for a quick change while off road... I can just see this now get a flat pop that out up in seconds get out the air impact and tire is changed in pit stop fashion... My onboard air could handle this easy...

    4 inch Rancho lift, 34 inch tires and steel bumpers front and rear.

    My other problem now is with the 35x12.5x17 tires they sometime hit the back side of the fender well when making a downhill turn. I think I will need to cut out the fender well so get better clearance or lift it another couple inches...

    2010 Suburban Rear Bumper

    I am running a Fab4 on mine but, if you can find a good fabricator you might be able to get what you want in a bumper and a swing out for the same price... I think my rear Fab4 was almost $3,000 from a local rip off artist... lol The Fab certainly is stout enough for a swing out though and...

    Front & rear floor jack lift points

    I agree I also avoid lumber at least nothing bigger than a 2x4.... Where can you put a Hi lift jack on a Tahoe / Yukon??? I have a hi lift but, I also have steel bumpers front and rear. However I still don't use the hi lift because the frame flexes and the bumper will crack the tail light. I...

    Need pre filter for cabin air in addition to the cabin filter

    Yea, I am wondering if there is a easy solution.. I am hoping getting some of the dust out with a pre-filter will help. This is what I drive through sometime for hundreds of miles on a weekend..
