Living in the southeast, there’s no good vast off-road places that are readily accessible. I’m taking my time upgrading my Suburban Z71 4x4. Found it online for just $2,300 back in 2022 and had it shipped. Thing is a tank. Would love a 2500 version, just for. More capability. A Duraburb would be bad ass. I’m going with new LS engine, stouter gears and likely a kryptonite 3 inch lift with fox shocks and set of KO2/3 or similar.

Just now seeing your video and wow, that is an impressive set up. Hate to hear it was stolen. It's obvious you put a lot of blood and sweat into this build. I've got an '05 Tahoe Z71 mostly stock although I just put Rancho RS500 shocks and a Z36 Power Stop brake kit on it. Haven't done much off roading so being that it's a Z71 do you think I need to modify the suspension or lift it? I really don't want to do that. I'm running Yokohama Geolander A/Ts (265/70/17) on the OEM wheels. Any feedback or input you have I'd appreciate. Thank you.

I love your tahoe! nice job with everything! I have a 02 suburban z71 that I have had since my 20's I am replacing the engine with a built 6.0 and I am going to build something out of it! ;-) I have been trying hard to convince a couple friends of mine to get a tahoe or burb and build something so we can go mini-overlanding together and camp lol.

I have enjoyed your video productions in the past and have hung onto them. I have a Chevy Tahoe vintage 1996. Did you ever do anything or consider doing anything with your front axles? My 4 x 4 is in need of an axle replacement, and I was considering taking this opportunity to upgrade the axles for our upcoming 2 yr road trip which will include some soft-roading and wash-board-roading towing a TAB400 camper. Any experience you might care to share on this will be appreciated. Thx!
@jdleschw11 ай бұрын
Thats a small camper and would think that a stock setup would have no problem towing it into the backcountry. If it were me, if i was replacing the axles on my truck i would think about sourcing axles that have a gear ratio that best fits your needs. Since your on the road 2 years i would not go overboard with gearing. 3.73 seems to be a good all around gear with 4.10s better if you have bigger tire (my rig)

One last question, were the rims zero, negative or positive offset, did you use spacers, if so, what size spacers?
@jdleschw Жыл бұрын
-6mm offset , Backspacing 4.45", rim width 9" No spacers, wanted the wheels making direct contact with the hub. Wheels were aluminum, and tires were on the lighter end for 35ers because i wanted to keep the weight down as much as possible to maximize my MPG. In hindsight though, any rim would have done as its a grunty V8 on 35"s, the fuel econmony is never going to be good.

Got the 17” wheels with 35” but the tire still rubs, did you do any trimming on the drivers front fender to get rid of rubbing?
@jdleschw Жыл бұрын
I believe i trimmed part of the front bumper, and pulled the fender liners in using zip ties and a heat gun. Also hammered where the rocker panels meet the fender to make room. There was a lot of hammering and some cutting there. A problem i ran into is getting the fender liner back on the drivers side since the e-brake cable is right behind it. @@juarez97

Folks, you will be amazed as of how much you can fall in love with your old vehicle, doing a few modifications here and there with a few hundreds or a few thousands dollars, can make your vehicle look at least as nice and reliable as a new one or even better. Give it a try!

You TOTALLY inspired me... Been almost a year, and hit a lul, building out my Dad's 07 LTZ that i inherited. Your rig, and all the details w/pics of what you could do with it, has given me the pick up I needed to keep going with my project. TYVM for being so positive and complimentary about the Tahoe's capabilities and thanks for all the "real life & practical" advice from experience living in your rig. I am SO very sorry it was stolen. It sticks that people feel they can take from others rather than earn or work for things themselves. If you have any additional pictures, especially if how you mounted your fridge between the two front seats (exactly what I wanted to do with my fridge btw) or your water tank set up (have an inside facing sink with back open access via the drivers side passenger door planned but had H20 bottles, no tank, because i didnt know there was room for it), i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see it for ideas... TY again, and know your video DEFINATELY DID INSPIRE at least one person in building out their tahoe, so the time it took for you to put together and post this is very much apppreciated.
@jdleschw Жыл бұрын
The water tank was located East to West, relative to the orientation of the vehicle. Just behind the Passenger and Driver seats. Having water is sweet during extended trips through the desert when having water is paramount. The fridge was "freestanding" and hugged the passenger and driver seat. That was the nature of the fridge i had, it just happened to fit perfectly in that space. It was a dometic CF28 (i think) and worked perfectly in my situation. Thank you for your inquery and i wish you well on your build!

YES! This is what I have been thinking about doing. I'm in a Chevy Express 3500 lwb van. Insane amt of space. Almost got stuck in sand once, and the turning radius is horrible. I will most likely use reinforced XPS instead of plywood for building the storage etc. 1/8" plywood could be used in areas where it needs to look good. I was hoping to find something that gets better gas mileage tho. The full size Dodge crew cab 4x4 gets 21 mpg! Your rig was amazing! Too bad there's shiitty ppl! Are you going to build another rig? I hope so!
