Thanks all. I willl post updates of the last year later tonight when I get tp my computer.

I thought I answered this, maybe it did not post or ?? You have to changed out the whole radiator support to go to single headlights, so you need all those parts. See post #40 No real tips, just see all my posts in the first few pages shows some good detail on the bumpers and spare tire...

I did read that can be done, but just as easy to do what I noted above. The exciter #1 wire turns the alternator on and can be shared, but #2 is for monitoring and should be separated. If not it can lower the battery life connected to ALT2, but my isolator on the main charging should prevent...

I just realized I made mistake in my wiring of the second ALT. I need to separate the volt monitor or #2 from the main system and just connect it to ALT2 main output. That way there is no direct cross voltage & amperage from main system if I turn off the isolator relay. The exciter wire can be...

I have not done anything with the doors and jams yet, they are still red. I will likely just paint all of that red black and do not think I even have those carpet panels anymore to even spray them. Right now the plan is to hang on to them, but I will consider it.

Well, might as well update since I mentioned I am adding a second alternator. Got that project done today and was not a simple task and took about 8-10 hour of work. I had to remove the A/C system and that bracket is behind the power steering brackets. So that had to come out and from there you...

Thank you Greg. The rear battery details are in post #127, but some of your questions were not detailed. It is charged off the same alternator as the other batteries and is run parallel as any 12volt system would be. Since my A/C does not work very well and pretty much never us it because of...

Thanks, I think the roof rack & KC bar makes it look complete and more safari over not having them. Good luck with your build, you should start a thread on it do all here can follow he progress.

Finally installed the roof rack today and now the military version of the Dante's Peak Suburban is complete. Not everything is the same parts wise, but it looks like a green version of that truck. :jumpin: :drool: The roof rack maker Wilderness and others sells the mounting brackets for some...

Being that my rig has been designated as the recovery vehicle in the off road & Jeep club I am in, I added a rear winch. Used another Badlands winch, but went with a 9000lb for this. Though about a 12K winch, but figured I would only be pulling Jeeps and 9000lb will be fine. Plus anything bigger...

Well it has been 1 year since I owned my 1984 Chevy Suburban CUCV clone and it has been a fun year. It is about 90% completed where the only part left is to paint the inside red to black and after that all done. Truck has held up well going off roading many times this year and during that time...

And last set of pictures. . .

Had the Bullet Liner spayed on Friday and put everything back in today (Saturday). Started working on it about 10am and finished about 6pm with a lunch break. That was allot of work putting it all back in and seemed like it was easy getting it out. So now I have a mix of tan, black and red and...

Well the weather has finally been good enough to start on stripping out the interior for the Bullet Liner that is my last major part of this project. I just about had it all done less some more stripping of the paint and glue from the carpet over the wheel wells. The Bullet liner sticks better...

I went back to the 33" tires as these 36" were out of balance with the wheels I had. Did not have time to get them balanced and will likely just stay with the 33" and try and sell these 36" with the wheels. If you want a crawler you better off with a 350 or 454 for the higher horsepower and a...

I put some 36x12.50 R16.50 military tires on the alloy 16.50 wheels I had only to find out I had a really bad ball joint. Not sure how I missed that before, but it may have gone bad on my trip to Bridgeport as I do not recall it being that way when I did the lift. So I spent Sunday fixing the...

Looking at putting some new 36" military tires on over the next week and already test fit clearance on some 35" tires. They look fine and should be fine with a 4" lift, so the 36" should hopefully work as well. The image below are 16.5" wheels and my current lug nuts are the correct ones. Not...

Hollowman, I only used what came off the K5 it came from. Nothing special in mounting it to the body and as long as you are careful with the weight it should be OK. I am not putting on a 33" spare as that adds more weight and the stock tire will get me home. Other note on my new aluminum...

Never got to do any work on it last weekend due to the cold and rain, but this weekend was great out (11/30-12/1). I did not strip out the interior as that can wait for now. May look into that next weekend. Still have to figure out a way to mount the roof rack, but I have some good ideas that...

I added an aluminum radiator back in October from Genesis, but I noticed that I never posted here about it. I did in the below link on the subject. I have now had it for about 45 days and the temp has not gone over 200 even with the A/C on. Been on a few long drives and has been all good...
