First major winter storm in California and I was there. Well, in Wrightwood that is. It was awesome to finally have a chance to stretch the legs with my build 1995 GMC Suburban and especially in the snow! Certainly can't wait to do some winter storm camping in this thing!

Did you undercoat the suspension truck? You don't want to have rust in all suspencion truck!!!!!

[@pathslesstrampled9906]

Love these videos! I've always thought about posting video of my off-road adventures in my 2-door Tahoe, but then I think, who in the hell would want to watch me driving around in my truck? But it seems like people enjoy it.

There are people interested in everything man! It's crazy but fun

[@rickdaystar477]

I have a 1996 1500 Suburban with 290,000 miles and running fine, been driving it for years. I wanted to say I just bought a 1999 with only 137,000 miles that I'm going to duplicate what you did with your Suburban. I can't afford to experiment with different tire combos and can only do it once so after watching your various videos I'm going to duplicate your mods on my truck. Thanks for putting all this info up. It's great to see what you've done and how well it works and looks also!

[@1RoadGarage]

Hey Rick thanks! I'm in the same boat. Can't simply buy anything... I have to do my research, from every angle, before purchasing. This way I can buy once and enjoy twice haha.

[@jakemeoff0387]

I sold my 1994 suburban for $1,700 6 years ago in a perfect condition. One of the worst decisions I made.

[@amrikanitransferllc5684]

We did the exact same thing. 1999 Suburban for 2000, sold in 2008. Great condition - just needed a tune up. Regret it until today.

[@atmosrepair]

I feel your pain. These "classic body" or "old body" "square body" trucks are in high demand if they're in good shape. They are super durable and they just look so much cooler than new rounded out body designs.

[@djtecthreat]

Essentially gave my '93 away back in 2008 because the rear end blew up and I was pretty broke back then. Wish I still had it.

Still have my 1995 K1500 4WD Chevy Suburban...original owner with only 148k miles, still runs strong and in great condition. 10-12 mpg is a drag, though...been toying with a Cummins conversion.

[@x-man5056]

Indestructible? BWAHAHAHA I totaled a 72 K5 blazer, 3x tougher than a 99 Tahoe. If it wasn't for the roll bar, I wouldn't be hear to talk about it. Trust me, parts and pieces will fly off of them like a meteor entering the atmosphere. Be careful out there.

[@atmosrepair]

These "classic body" or "old body" "square body" trucks are in high demand if they're in good shape. They are super durable, lots of guys drive the V8 vortec to 300k miles and they just look so much cooler than new rounded out body styles of cars made after 2000

I am also a photographer. I used to take my 1990 Chevy single cab out in the mountains of Colorado. I slept in it several times as well as getting caught in several snow storms. I am in AZ now so I don't see snow anymore.

I'm two years late on this video but I just bought a extremely clean and unbelievably maintained 1994 Chevorlet Suburban K1500 4x4 I live in the salt belt and the truck is from Idaho with zero rust and still has the factory paint on the frame!...I love it!...it's the best truck I ever owned...I don't plan on putting in the terrible Michigan winters we have but I'm glad I see how yours performs in the snow!...I got a lot of catching up to do on your videos because I'm a new subscriber here but I'm glad there's a channel with someone who loves their Suburban as much as I do!...Cheers!...Nick from Michigan!

My '97 'Burban with a 6" lift and 35" BFG KO2's on a 6" RCD lift has never let me down. Not built for crazy off-roading, but good for what I do. Not crazy about the IFS, makes it difficult to align, but replacing the 4" lift with a tall knuckle 6" RCD made a huge difference. Lots of KO2 haters, but they're the best all around on and off road tire I've found. Good off road, not too loud on the highway, great in the snow, and long tread life. I have them on all of my trucks, except my F-450. Wish it was a '95 so I could ditch the emissions and build the engine, but "stock" with exhaust and a tune has been good enough for now...

[@mikelisowski7619]

This video is Awesome on many levels one that is more prominent and the biggest reason why I love what you do especially in this video is because you show what it actually takes to be a KZbin Creator and to get the best shots and the dedication that you put into it. I'm not going to blow smoke and say that this is my favorite KZbin channel but you are one of my favorite KZbin creators.

Put a drawbar hitch on the front of your rig . Off road and this bad weather have the proper electric wench mounted to a drawbar with you . If you get stuck plug it in either end of your rig and Walla , you don't need big foot tires anymore . Take Care

Nice video, BUT IN THE VIDEO YOU DIDNT SAY WHY IS YOU TRUCK BETTER THAN CYBERTRUCK, ALL I LEARNED IS THAT YOU ARE A PHOTOGRAPHER

[@1RoadGarage]

The video itself, showing just how cool these GMT-400 platform trucks are, is the reason why. A 25 year old truck, costing ~$3000, classic square-body styling, very fun, easy and cheap to maintain, highly upgradeable, highly capable... the list goes on and on. ✌️👍

[@spyrosbellos2522]

[@vwmetal66]

Man I really like you truck. I've been really thinking of buying a TBI 350 powered suburban or Tahoe in the obs style. For the burb I have 92-95 options and Tahoe only 95. Just something about that body style and the TBI 350 that I've always loved. You should check out lytle creek this winter if we get any snow. It's a lot closer than wrightwood. On the 15 get off on Sierra in Fontana and just head up into the mountain until it ends. It can get busy up there but if you choose the right day and time you will be alone. Lots of camp sites to hang out at up there.

Hello John, yes, there is something about these OBS trucks. The looks, the simplicity… I love them. Thanks for the tip! 👍

[@breckstreasures7128]

Awesome Suburban. Your truck makes me miss both my 1996 Suburban and 1998 Tahoe, which were great trucks. The lift kit you chose was perfect for this truck. Looks awesome with a rugged stance! Living in the midwest I am jealous of your rust free 1995! Keep up the Great Videos!

[@slurpyman20]

Advice: Put selectable lockers in front and rear. When the snow gets to about a foot deep or more and iced up....the suburby cuz of its size and weight will struggle bad. I do lotsa snow wheeling. Lockers and big tires are key in snow

Great macro shots. That is an often overlooked area in photography that when used can reveal some breathtaking shots. That is one good looking suburban. I have been looking for a 4wd pickup for a restore project but I think I am going to look for a suburban for the looks and extra cabin room. Nothing beats the older GMC's in snow. I spent a lot of time in the 70's and 80's snow plowing in them.

How much height did you get in the front?

1ROAD at first it was at about 3.5 inches of lift from stock height the ride was bad took it down to just about 3 inches and I’m happy the shop that did the instal didnt use the extenders and I always wondered why watch n your videos now I know man keep it going I enjoy your vids

I like these videos because I'm building a suburban right now but as I watch I'm reminded that lockers (that you never see) are much more valuable than lifts or tires.If you're serious, spend the money on lockers instead.

[@projectovrlnd3145]

Questions to follow my intro: Hello. I’m actually working on a 97 K1500 Suburban VERY similar to yours. As of right now I think I identified most of the issues. The infamous fuel pump/bobber with my gauge left on E with a 42 gallon top off, leak in the coolant hoses leading to the heater core, small oil leak from the pan (might be a seal) worn u-joints , the ac compressor and finally, the exhaust system. I have already replaced the pulleys which made the thing sound so much better, salaveged an airbox from the same model out of a junk yard because the previous owner deleted it to give the filter that cool look (he used the wrong sized filter and screwed it into the air intake and hose clamped it for a fit (dear god why?) gave it new fluids (id’d leaks from doing that.) Whats next? Work on the identified flaws. Buy and install the 4L60E for fresh start on a new transmission to be safe. It has the original which has 260k on it. And the fun stuff: 4 inch lift, all terrain tires/rims, new headlight/taillight enclosures with led bulbs. Can you list which bulbs you used from the front to the read lights? Thank you. Keep trucking.
