FULL Build: Suburban Gorilla - H1 Hummer Inspired Ultimate Off-Road Tow Rig

[@porscheguy09]

Like so many others have said, I can’t help but feel a little pain in my heart whenever I see Jessi in any old videos. She was so full of life and always smiling. I don’t recall ever seeing her without a smile on her face. I’ve followed and watched Jessi ever since she first appeared on Overhaulin as part of the A-Team when she was still a student at WyoTech. It was great to see her grow and mature and to be so successful in a relatively short time. Although her life was cut short she definitely lived a good one and went out doing what she loved. She’ll be remembered always.

Sadly we lost a wonderful woman, but many are happy to know she died doing what she loved and before the world went to crap with Covid and everything else going wrong in the world.

[@MarkK01]

In my opinion Jessi was the best female presenter of all the car and truck shows. You could just see it in her face how much she enjoyed it. I saw this series years ago but it was fun watching her grow in the sport. RIP Jessi Combs.

[@member57]

This is when the show actually built awesome projects instead of pimping sponsors like they do today. Ian and Jessi where in touch with the community. RIP Jessi, you are talented, smart and beautiful person. Great role model for young ladies everywhere.

I met Jessi at a local speed shop, in Orange, CA a few years back, at the height of their TV show's popularity. She sparkled, ... was as kind and humble as can be. I am saddened to think of a world without her in it. God speed, in every sense of the word.

that's less badass and more stupid risks.

Actually, they'd rushed to the hospital mid way through shooting the episode you're referencing, they'd showed the viewers a clip of what happened to Jessi during filming the episode and she'd looked really pale and looked like she'd literally rolled out of bed a few minutes earlier and Ian explained that from that clip they'd had to Rush Jessi to the hospital because her appendix had ruptured

Ian and Jessi were a great team. I remember when they first came on the scene. Last year, my daughter got upset and told me that girls didn't like the things that she liked...guns, cars, building stuff. Oh, not so little girl! We binged videos of Jessi being the all around badass she was. Shortly after that I heard that Jessi had died. Damned shame. She was a great role model for girls and women.

Couple of questions/observations: 1) The clearance area for the steering column??😳 2) That's a bad location for your air in-take, no? Why not a snorkle? 3) Wow, you can see how much video & computer tech has rapidly advanced sinced 2007; that head unit and video monitors are grossly obsolete now in 2020. In 2020, they would probably mount at least 4 more cameras. 4) I love that it is still old school with duel solid axles.

Seems like using and modifying a 2500 HD chassis would have made more sense and been magnitudes stronger to start with. The motor mounts are already set for the Dmax and trans and you get the AAM rear axle and a relatively easy to convert to coil over factory IFS. Can't believe we thought these old square body frames were decent in the day. Never had any problems with modifying and abusing them, but they look like model t frames compared to modern HDs.
