Think of the Denali's system basically like a Suburban in 4-Hi all the time. So it'll do all the same things. I do miss low range up really steep stuff, or sand dunes/deep snow. That doesn't make up a lot of what we do, but I'd really like to swap on a 2 speed transfer case in the near future.

@OverlandAdventureTimes10 күн бұрын
I don't think it was a "flex". But it is reasonable for a purchase price, 6 years of all maintenance, and mods, to have a reliable, comfortable vehicle to go remote places with. I'm not a fan of $200K hemi swapped Jeeps and other crazy builds that people buy their way into the hobby with, but I'm also not taking an unproven shitbox out to the middle of the Oregon desert, let alone Alaska.

I found my 2005 Suburban Z71 4x4 for just $2,300. The trans was rebuilt prior to my purchase. I will have a new 5.3L installed eventually. I added some 285/70/17 AT tires, replaced a caliper that collapsed, wheel hub and did a tune up so far. Oil pan leaks, but i just add oil when it needs it for now.. i have an old mattress out of my last Semi sleeper, that I will through in the back of it. Just starting out as minimal as possible then i will add as i go. I like the storage under the bed, but that severely limits the ability to receive some cowgirl action 😉

When plans don't totally turn out it didn't keep you from making changes so you can continue on the adventure. Wonderful scenery and locations. In July we dipped into the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest from the East side and camped amongst the Myrtle Trees along a river (though it looked more like a mid-sized creek to me). We took one of our camp days and explored the roads. At that time there were forest fires 50 to 100 miles away but the wind carried some of the smoke to us which made us nervous at first until we were able to get a connection to learn that there were no fires near us. Thanks for taking us on your adventures.

You're better off getting a K2500 Suburban if you are gong to spend much time off road with a Suburban/Yukon. I have a 2001 K2500 Suburban with an 8.1 big block, 4L80E transmission, 14 bolt full floater rear differential, and has the Z55 autoride suspension. I still have to factory G80 rear locker and an electric locker in the front diff(I forget which brand). It has Cooper AT3 tires in 285/75/16 that have been better than I ever hoped for. I also added a full set of Kryptonite front end parts to make the front end fairly bullet proof.

I bought a telescoping selfie stick/tripod. It has a standard 1/4 camera mount screw, to which i attached a light that also has mosquito repellent pad heater (similar to thermacell). By using a mount meant for a phone/camera you wouldnt need the angle bracket since the head on the selfiestick/tripod has an adjustable angle. Not sure if im getting the same height, but gets the job done for < $50.

What are your thoughts on swapping the keys lift for a BDS lift kit...is it worth it? Or is airing down sufficient enough on a torsion key lift.

For ride quality? Airing down works great for me, the keys are barely cranked. If you try for more than 2" with keys, that's where things go bad and a real lift is definitely worth it.
