Nothing like a metal rig that demands respect on the road and will barely have a scratch on it mean while the new vehicles fall apart from coming in contact with a strong wind.

For camping but not SHTF.

When I was in the military we had to grease our wire (steel rope) cables. It lubricates the strands so that they do not chafe against each others and it also keeps them clean and protected from dirt, water and all sorts of bad things. Also every once in a while you need to clean the grease out of the cable and then re-grease it. That takes the dirt between the strands out and re-lubes the inner cables.

First video I watched of yours, got me hooked. Good stuff man! What a beast of a machine!

Considered adding an additional battery for a parallel or independent system? Would come in handy for winching. Keep a fresh battery for starting while you have another powering radio, winch, roof lights or other auxiliary items. Who makes or sells that roof rack? With those gears, are you screaming at highway speed or not to bad?

Damn nice Suburban. I'm still trying to convince my wife to modify her Burb.

Damn, what a beauty. I'm restoring a 1988 Chevy stepside.

Thank you for showing the rear bumper now I know what I need on my 85 bourbon mine's got a 12 inch lift four on the body 8 on the suspension it sits on 40 inch bear claws. Had the 350 gone through and everything is sweet with a turbo 400 behind it. With a few modifications I got rid of the junk aluminum transfer case and installed an np205. I found a smashed 85 C30 Air Force truck at a salvage yard and was able to get the entire truck for 800 bucks for spare parts for the bourbon. Square body Bourbons are getting harder to find most of them are rust buckets or have been cut up and made into mudding vehicles. It was my first choice for bug-out vehicle. I have a roof rack similar to your Defender the only difference is I have a roof hatch that I installed where I can go up top from the inside but I do like the idea of the old Chevy van ladder that you put on the rear barn doors. Anyhow my brother that's a sweet bourbon. And by the way my other vehicle is an 18-wheeler. Lol

They have these jacks they use on truck trailers to lift them off the wheels tire jacks you pull foward and it lifts up on to the jacks reverse and you lower off the jacks. Then they have all terrain tracked sleds that afix to each wheel that allows a 4×4 become a tank. Extra bug out tools its always nice to have lots of options. 😁

Much respect for the beard.

I love your truck, great setup, only caveat I would give is you said "new vehicles have push button electronic lockers"(paraphrasing) I'm not sure if your just talking about putting the vehicle into 4 wheel drive or actual lockers like on a Rubicon wrangler. Big difference between a locker which goes in your differential and locking hubs. With locking hubs you still have a open differentials which whatever tire gets the least amount of traction spins, with a limited slip in your differential whatever tire gets the most traction spins, and with a locker it locks the tires together so they both spin equally (a lunchbox, electronic, or full spool is all on cost and personal preference). Whether you put the locker in the front diff or the rear, or both is all up to you. If you don't have lockers yet, I would encourage you to get some, makes a world of difference offroad. As I said though beautiful truck, great job on the bumpers, and the build overall.

I love my old suburban. Looking for another one and will keep both. Love that roof rack. Ive been looking for one of those. thanks
