Hey my 2004 vw toureg can handle it lots of power an I can lift it up to get 11 inches of ground clearance can can go through 22 inches of water if necessary
I love channels like this. I'm currently looking for an old-school truck that runs well and in good shape and I'll add all the bells and whistles later. 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.
My Son just became a Marine on 2/5/21 from Parris Island. I am buying a GMC Suburban 2500 SLE 2wd for $1500. with 233,000 miles. Your truck is bad ass, I am going to watch the video now. Take care Rick Wood
My first truck was an '86 Silverado. You could beat it to death and fix it back up super easy. Other thing worth mentioning for preppers is that an EMP would only take it out of commission for ten minutes if you keep a couple of cheap and easy spare parts around.
I heard the EMP continuously pulses to take out whatever is repaired. Also they make something for vehicles but whether it will work or not it's yet TBD.
My dad just handed me down his old daily driver, an 86 k20 burban, and I have loved that truck ever since he got it back in 05 and now that I'm about to get my license he passed it onto me and I cannot explain my excitement lol
Make a video! Lucky you’ve got a k20 with an upgraded th350 or th400 (or a rare manual) the half ton k10 version only had the th350 and they usually burn up from the constant weight of them.
Oh man. Your dedication to this beast of a truck is AMAZING. I have a 97 Suburban and would totally feel like Sarah Connor if my truck looked like this!
Got me my 83 Suburban 6.2. 15600. In GREAT shape. I do not have my winch hooked up yet. my father-in-law is a master welder / fabricator and is building me a brush guard for the front and back. And then I'm going to be coating the entire thing with maxxlife but I am going to stick to the original color scheme. You are an inspiration my friend! Got two tents, four sleeping bags, 4 Life vests a cooler with survival gear and Fire Starting equipment, water purification and dehydrated meals. Also A fire extinguisher. A jack. A jumper box. First aid kit. And I'm about to hook up my CB. Hopefully getting it lifted 3 in. I also got me some good off-road 15" tires. It's definitely my dream machine!Happy And the whole family loves it! By the way I heard you loud and clear the entire video. ;-)
Love your Suburban, I have an '87 silverado half ton 4x4 single cab long bed myself. They are tough but simple trucks. Easy to maintain and surprisingly capable off road for such a large vehicle. I'll be doing a few videos of mine soon, thanks for the inspiration.
Video of my '87 4x4 pickup truck is on my channel now, feel free to check it out and offer some suggestions of what I should do next. Again thanks for the inspiration.
This is awesome. I have been considering an old suburban as my BOV. I like the organization of your pouches in the rear. Proper video; very universal- no political bs, no preachy stuff, just good old proper information. More people need to do videos like this. Ima gonna check out more of your videos later, very impressed sir. You have a ton of decals, does that interfere with your visibility at all?
Thank you so much for not using profanity in your video. I truly enjoyed and picked a lot of useful information from you so I subscribed. I also drive a suburban and I working my way to "bugging it out". I do not plan on getting rid of it. I will continue to pick up helpful hints from you starting with the CB radio. I almost forgot to mention my brother is also a Marine who finished his tour and went on to other things. Thank you so much for your service and helping keep America safe.
no fightin or biten....love it. good show keep it up. retired land surveyor, i lived in and out of suburbans for 30 yrs.... never let me or my crew down....you go.
Man a great job by you and your wife. You have nailed all the points I had considered. A full-width security draw for those places that mandate security. Three lucky children; teach them to be capable. Greetings from Greg in Thailand
I loved the square body style of the Chevys back in the 70's/80's. they looked tough and they were/are solid steel. This was when Chevy made great trucks. Awesome job!!
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.
I just stumbled onto this video. You and your wife seem like some real down to earth people. Very informative in your explanation of your winch and locker hubs. I couldj't help but sub, I'm digging the vibe from you guys, esp you. Take care and stay safe.
Just watched your video, I have an 86' 3/4 ton 4x4 Suburban Military Version, I've been working on making a Bugout Vehicle for a few years now, I have owned it since 1997, it started out as a hunting vehicle, but in the past 5 years I've been slowly converting it into the ultimate Bugout Rig, you're video has given me some great ideas for mine, keep up the awesome videos, have you thought about adding a Ham Radio setup to your rig, That's how I stay in touch with my family and friends while on off reading overland runs, again thanks for the awesome video, I thought I was the only person building a Bugout Vehicle from a Suburban 👍🏻✊🏼🇺🇸
Your truck brings me back to my younger days with my old school Blazer hard top that came off and you would assume that a big guy it belonged to lol at the time I was 5'3 and 120 lbs ..yes some great memories of love to have another beast but at 50 yrs old and disabled it's never gonna happen ....but thank u love that hand made bumper ,! 💯
Function over fashion, you got it brother. NO 20-22 inch stupid wheels,Jack on the hood. I noticed you stowed everything you showed and didn't just toss it in the back of the truck" to put away later" . Your channel popped up randomly and I'm glad I saw it. Thanks
This Vid is priceless. Thanks to your wife. I bought an 89 Burban 2 months back and this vid got me pretty pumped. Three more kids equals no more vids. :) Thanks Brother PD
The second vehicle I ever owned was a 1977 Blazer. My Blazer was a lot like your Suburban, the tires where even the same.I had it for around 8 years and never got stuck in it. I live in North East Tennessee too, so you know I tried lol. I had it in the snow storms we had in 93,96, and 98. They don't make them like they use to. I miss my truck now lol.
I own a 1993 suburban bug out rig. Work in progress, will be posting video shortly. thanks for your video, sharing the preparedness philosophy. Failing to plan is planning to fail.
Love it. Had a 1993 Suburban LT. Loved driving that truck. Comfortable, reliable, quiet. It was a road queen, I was a suit and tie guy back then. This is great as well.
You can never go wrong with an old square body, cars just arent made the same anymore, In that thing you don’t have to worry about no computer, most parts stores carry just about everything you could possibly need for these things, bad ass rig man
New subscriber here. Also Pastor Joe Fox subscriber whom you mentioned. I love your truck it is awesome. I have a 2003 GMC Sierra 2500 4wd and I love it. I also have a 77 Chev Blazer under restoration and rebuild for a BOV. I would love to have a Suburban and have been keeping an eye opren for the right deal. Thanks for your service Marine oorah!!!!!
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.
AWESOME TRUCK MAN COULD IT MAKE A GREAT CAMPER I AM SINGLE I COULD LIVE IN THIS TRUCK LOAD SOLAR ON TOP ABOUT 4 TO 6 AGM BATTERYS AND A 5000 PURE SINE WAVE INVERTER. YOU R A LUCKY DUDE .GOD BLESS AMERICA
Nice rig bro. I love your beard and have worn a similar one twenty five years now. I just this year built a camper/survival rig out of a 1988 Ford E350 lifted 'Quigley 4x4 conversion. The van is a mint condition southern truck with just 61,000 original miles......... Sgt. Gary 6yrs. U.S. army (11bravo/rifle instructor, Ford Ord California).
Fantastic setup! You've given me a few ideas about how to set my 98 up. Sully isn't a 4x4, but he'll be the camping rig. Thank you for your service! 🤓 👍 💯 🇺🇲
Hey man i used to think you guys were nuts. But man after a few things that happened to me personally. As well as things going on in this country i feel like i have been awoke to whats going on in world affairs. Keep the vids coming man
Nice truck and video! Our shtf truck is a 93 GMC 3/4 ton ext cab long bed 4x4 with the 6.5 turbo diesel. It may not roll coal like the new ones but it will pull your house off the foundation.
Lots of great idea for my truck. Ive already have a few thing installed... but after watching this great video ill be adding for sure. Man i just wish in Canada they would let me carry. Shit after serving for 20yrs and still serving....i should have the freaking right to carry.
Love your rig, I have a 2 built up land cruisers, one new one older. But that burban has always been a vehicle I wanted (especially after seeing Dontes Peak) lol...can the sheltered cargo space you cant beat, you throw a small box trailer behind that and you can take the whole house...nice man
Haha! Sippie-Cup! Bless her heart. She was trying! But it's like having your wife hold a flashlight for you. They point everywhere except where you need light! Haha! Just kidding. She's an awesome girl, just for helping you make videos! God Bless Y'all!
I love that truck. I've always liked the early model suburban over the new ones just because they're built to be abused. Very nice vid. Thanks for sharing
I could definitely hang out with this guy thanks for your service I truly do appreciate it brother. Love the truck as well, just picked up a 04 yukon xl 4wd and I am trying to imitate yours 🇺🇸👍
Step One survival I've learned a lot just from watching this video... and you made a TON of sense when you talked about the 15' rims vs the 20' inches I am on the prowl now for 15 inches thanks a lot James.
Had an 88 model lifted 6 in 35's for tires. Same roof rack, bed is a queen size air for me! Didn't have mine for the gas mileage! Lol Nice ride brother!
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?
Cool man I had a 1999 suburban and used it in the mts to get home we lived 980 ft up the snow was no fun now I have a 2005 Silverado with Lear topper I am making a big out or safari truck I can't find a snorkel been thinking about making one but yours looks good also you just gave me good idea on my spare tire and ham radio antenna oh yea baby get r done.
Outstanding rig brother! I'm just beginning my '89 suburban project, Sleipnir. I thought for where going to pull out some Fiber fix outta that fluids/maintenance bag on inside door. 🤘
I still remember the first time I saw this video,I liked your way then f being,your personally...and I just now saw a video of you and your point of view of what happening with families being rip apart ... God bless you,and thank you.
Not sure why this popped up in my feed in August of 2020, but here we are. Liked this video at 4:12 - - “Community first”, and “treat everyone as human.” Works for me.
Informative video thank you! My favorite model Suburban the square body solid axle trucks! You are very polite and soft spoken I sense your manners where taught growing up or military or both. If that jacket is real then thank you for your service. Few questions what size tire and wheel package is that? Who made those killer front and rear bumpers? What was that spark under neath by the winch when working it? Loose ground or squirrel? God Bless America.
I'm about to pull the trigger on an 88 burban here in a week or so that could be this one's brother. Pretty stoked because it's gonna be the first four wheel drive I will have ever owned So I bought it. Already dagged it thru some ditches and holes and I gotta say, I think I'm in love. Truck runs better than my 08 Silverado and rides like a straight axle 4x4
Sadly where we live in Commiefornia we can't leave ANYTHING in our vehicles as someone WILL break in, smashing windows or steal the whole vehicle with their nasty tweeker selves Lol. I lived in the Philippines for over 5 years and my wife and I had a 74 Toyota Fj40 with a 4" lift, 12" x 33" tires on bead lock rims, anti inversion shackles, power steering, roof rack with large lights, high lift jack, spare fuel cans, water cans, snorkels for typhoon season etc etc and no one touched it! Couldn't bring it to the USA with us in 2013 because the shipping would have been $3000 not including having to pay off corrupt customs officers before we ever left country. Sooooooo, we sold it.
+Matthew Green. Does every bug-out vehicle have to be modded to the gills with stuff, and always packed with stuff, just for the sake of having stuff? Not every BOV has to look like it was on the SEMA convention floor that day. I personally think SSGT Badass' 'Burban is badass, and as SSGT Badass said, it's his family daily, hence the car seats. Peace out.
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
Back when trucks were trucks and not plastic sports utility vehicles that can't handle speed bumps. I'm very envious.
Hey my 2004 vw toureg can handle it lots of power an I can lift it up to get 11 inches of ground clearance can can go through 22 inches of water if necessary
Grizzly Country - when the chrome was thick and the women were straight!
Your approach/ never Head on just bought 87 love it
@@alirenfro2526 what I'm looking for
Yep
I suspect a badass beard is required when owning such a rig.
Deathstroke 0331 lol
Deathstroke 0331 my wife got a beard like that as well... she aint badass though HAHAHAHA
Haha
ULTRA NOOB
She must be a wook eh? I hear they let em in infantry now lol
A beard doesn't make the person badass, the person makes the beard badass.
I love channels like this. I'm currently looking for an old-school truck that runs well and in good shape and I'll add all the bells and whistles later. 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.
My Son just became a Marine on 2/5/21 from Parris Island.
I am buying a GMC Suburban 2500 SLE 2wd for $1500. with 233,000 miles.

My first truck was an '86 Silverado. You could beat it to death and fix it back up super easy. Other thing worth mentioning for preppers is that an EMP would only take it out of commission for ten minutes if you keep a couple of cheap and easy spare parts around.
Only good if she was a diesel. Gas would go bad months after the emp hits.
If China ever uses an EMP, the US will respond with a nuke.
I heard the EMP continuously pulses to take out whatever is repaired. Also they make something for vehicles but whether it will work or not it's yet TBD.
My dad just handed me down his old daily driver, an 86 k20 burban, and I have loved that truck ever since he got it back in 05 and now that I'm about to get my license he passed it onto me and I cannot explain my excitement lol
Make a video! Lucky you’ve got a k20 with an upgraded th350 or th400 (or a rare manual) the half ton k10 version only had the th350 and they usually burn up from the constant weight of them.
Oh man. Your dedication to this beast of a truck is AMAZING. I have a 97 Suburban and would totally feel like Sarah Connor if my truck looked like this!
You can tell he loves his truck. It makes me happy to see this. Thanks for making this video even if I am a few years late to it.
I love the truck how many yards to the gallon?
Prepper Rabbit ahhhhh you are toooooo funny.. 21mpg
City or hwy
Prepper Rabbit I'm not sell it. lol
Awh im thinking about doing some kind of diesel.
Did you ever finish looking at that website.
That's a seriously cool suburban.
For camping but not SHTF.
Got me my 83 Suburban 6.2. 15600. In GREAT shape. I do not have my winch hooked up yet. my father-in-law is a master welder / fabricator and is building me a brush guard for the front and back. And then I'm going to be coating the entire thing with maxxlife but I am going to stick to the original color scheme. You are an inspiration my friend! Got two tents, four sleeping bags, 4 Life vests a cooler with survival gear and Fire Starting equipment, water purification and dehydrated meals. Also A fire extinguisher. A jack. A jumper box. First aid kit. And I'm about to hook up my CB. Hopefully getting it lifted 3 in. I also got me some good off-road 15" tires. It's definitely my dream machine!Happy And the whole family loves it!

Sounds awesome brother

Easily one of the best rigs on TH-cam. Ever.
This is awesome. I have been considering an old suburban as my BOV. I like the organization of your pouches in the rear. Proper video; very universal- no political bs, no preachy stuff, just good old proper information. More people need to do videos like this. Ima gonna check out more of your videos later, very impressed sir. You have a ton of decals, does that interfere with your visibility at all?
Buy a diesel if you want it to be good after gas goes bad after a few months
Just curious as to , at this late date, consider political BS?
Thank you so much for not using profanity in your video. I truly enjoyed and picked a lot of useful information from you so I subscribed.

I love the door being locked after the "gangster" comment 😎
I've always considered an early 80s or (better) 70s burban an ideal bug out vehicle.
I just bought a 1985 suburban 350
4x4

About to put hummer tires on it.
This video is awesome!

Brownbear Brownbear I try to keep my foot out of it. lol
That is a bloody big truck. Very nice.
Big truck for the UK, but small for America. my little Lincoln coupe or even my two-seater Cadillac make these Suburbans look like Hotwheels cars.
TheDullahan no they’re still considered big in the us.
About the same square footage as Edna ;), eh?
Do have Chevy in the UK?
This Vid is priceless. Thanks to your wife. I bought an 89 Burban 2 months back and this vid got me pretty pumped. Three more kids equals no more vids. :) Thanks Brother

Your channel and truck are probably the most American things I’ve ever seen in my life! I’d love a truck like this one
Gotta love the suburban! The old trusty battle wagon! ✌️
Absolutely love the truck and even more the custom front bumper
WhitetailHunter98 thank you
Damn, what a beauty. I'm restoring a 1988 Chevy stepside.
I JUST BOUGHT A 94 BURBAN WITH THE 454 7.4 BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO!
and i have absolutely no regrets
You can never go wrong with an old square body, cars just arent made the same anymore, In that thing you don’t have to worry about no computer, most parts stores carry just about everything you could possibly need for these things, bad ass rig man
I recommend doing a 5 tire rotation when rotating the tires to extend their life & keep the spare the tread depth.
A guy that drives a rig like that can kick ass six ways from Sunday.
I've never heard this expression before lol great what does it mean
Brian Avila it means that you can kick some serious ass
I have a 85 GMC suburban that I am turning into a bugout vehicle and you have gave me some great ideas thanks brother for sharing your videos

Love your rig, I have a 2 built up land cruisers, one new one older. But that burban has always been a vehicle I wanted (especially after seeing Dontes Peak) lol...can the sheltered cargo space you cant beat, you throw a small box trailer behind that and you can take the whole house...nice man
Haha! Sippie-Cup! Bless her heart. She was trying! But it's like having your wife hold a flashlight for you. They point everywhere except where you need light! Haha! Just kidding. She's an awesome girl, just for helping you make videos! God Bless Y'all!
Bless her little heart lol God bless
LMBO
😆
I’ve gotta say that is a nice build
“The further away you are the louder I have to talk”...nah dude we can hear you just fine.
As a mechanic I must say this is a very rugged cool set up
Thank you
@@StepOneSurvival I love those old suburbans it fits you and your character well that's a man's vehicle for sure
That's definitely a badass 'burban! A real Suburban not like the newer ones...
Thank you
Much respect for the beard.
The boxed suburban is still one of my all time favorite looking trucks even though they ain't part of my era lol
Dude, that is a bad ass Sub you got there. Can't beat the old battle cruisers.
You can't count. I see a fourth hairy kid playing with his toys & calling them tools. Lol!
Lee Stephenson funny thing is sippy drives it more than me.
I remember my dad used to own one of these it was lifted and almost the same set up
I love that truck. I've always liked the early model suburban over the new ones just because they're built to be abused. Very nice vid. Thanks for sharing
I could definitely hang out with this guy thanks for your service I truly do appreciate it brother. Love the truck as well, just picked up a 04 yukon xl 4wd and I am trying to imitate yours 🇺🇸👍
MORE TACTICAL THAN YOU right on brother
Step One survival I've learned a lot just from watching this video... and you made a TON of sense when you talked about the 15' rims vs the 20' inches I am on the prowl now for 15 inches thanks a lot
James.
Thanks brother
Nice truck brotha! Semper Fi!
Thanks brother semper fi
beautiful truck brother can't beat the old suburbans they last a life time
beautiful truck brother can't beat the old suburbans they last a life time
Justin Frazier hell yeah Chevy all day
Man you need to quit watching videos and make us some more videos gear head
I just realised your in kingsport. I love your truck man.
Had an 88 model lifted 6 in 35's for tires. Same roof rack, bed is a queen size air for me! Didn't have mine for the gas mileage! Lol
Nice ride brother!
Thanks for taking the time to make this. I have a 94 z-71 I want to rework similarly to your rig. Thanks for the ideas and advice. Semper Fi brother!
love the 80's pimp flanel
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?
Cool man I had a 1999 suburban and used it in the mts to get home we lived 980 ft up the snow was no fun now I have a 2005 Silverado with Lear topper I am making a big out or safari truck I can't find a snorkel been thinking about making one but yours looks good also you just gave me good idea on my spare tire and ham radio antenna oh yea baby get r done.
Dante's Peak is the first thing I thought of when I saw the snorkel. Love the truck!
J Smith thank you
Outstanding rig brother! I'm just beginning my '89 suburban project, Sleipnir.
I thought for where going to pull out some Fiber fix outta that fluids/maintenance bag on inside door. 🤘
Nice ride 👍
I still remember the first time I saw this video,I liked your way then f being,your personally...and I just now saw a video of you and your point of view of what happening with families being rip apart ... God bless you,and thank you.
Not sure why this popped up in my feed in August of 2020, but here we are. Liked this video at 4:12 - - “Community first”, and “treat everyone as human.” Works for me.
Informative video thank you! My favorite model Suburban the square body solid axle trucks! You are very polite and soft spoken I sense your manners where taught growing up or military or both. If that jacket is real then thank you for your service. Few questions what size tire and wheel package is that? Who made those killer front and rear bumpers? What was that spark under neath by the winch when working it? Loose ground or squirrel? God Bless America.
Shit well damn got open carry!!!!!your one of the ones that’s gonna survive a zombie attack !!!
Love the set up beautifully done!!!!
I'm about to pull the trigger on an 88 burban here in a week or so that could be this one's brother. Pretty stoked because it's gonna be the first four wheel drive I will have ever owned
So I bought it. Already dagged it thru some ditches and holes and I gotta say, I think I'm in love. Truck runs better than my 08 Silverado and rides like a straight axle 4x4
Building a 95 Ram 4x4 ,2 door short bed ,campershell. Chopped fenders and bumpers baja style. Big mudders .she's a bad ass .Jolene
Sadly where we live in Commiefornia we can't leave ANYTHING in our vehicles as someone WILL break in, smashing windows or steal the whole vehicle with their nasty tweeker selves Lol. I lived in the Philippines for over 5 years and my wife and I had a 74 Toyota Fj40 with a 4" lift, 12" x 33" tires on bead lock rims, anti inversion shackles, power steering, roof rack with large lights, high lift jack, spare fuel cans, water cans, snorkels for typhoon season etc etc and no one touched it! Couldn't bring it to the USA with us in 2013 because the shipping would have been $3000 not including having to pay off corrupt customs officers before we ever left country. Sooooooo, we sold it.
Rob Sgt.Airborne man that sucks. we hated living in California
I meant that sucks about your fj
sorry that was a complete waste of 26.55 of my time. you have a black truck a few bags stuck to the back doors and a farm jack on the front
+Matthew Green. Does every bug-out vehicle have to be modded to the gills with stuff, and always packed with stuff, just for the sake of having stuff? Not every BOV has to look like it was on the SEMA convention floor that day. I personally think SSGT Badass' 'Burban is badass, and as SSGT Badass said, it's his family daily, hence the car seats. Peace out.
Rob Sgt.Airborne just shoot them.
Mine was an 89 but the 2wd version so it was a love hate relationship lol. Didn't do too bad on gas though.
RoGuExPaNcAkE good stuff brother
What an awesome truck!! I'm going to the the same kind of winch system on my square body. Thanks for this video!!
Thank you
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
