It’s called no front locker. No GMT800 had a front locker from the factory

Yes it has handles on the front and back now that I added later

Personally I don’t understand how anyone could like that, might as well just roll it in ash 😂 They are marshmallows though, we’re probably all crazy for eating them!

Yes he does!

We try, we have our good moments and bad moments just like everyone else! Sounds like you've got a lot going on too!

Which one? 😂

The parts themselves are holding up well. I have been having an issue with the upper control arm moving but I think I need new cam bolts to fix that problem. I'm pretty seriously looking at removing it all and going with a Tahoeoverlanding solid axle swap.

@trove1312 The ball joint moving from the knuckle or the bushings moving? Do you think your lift has anything to do with it? I'm seeing some bad experiences with Kryptonite and the lift always plays a factor in the review it seems.

@@Ace-44 It's actually the arm moving where it's bolted to the frame. The cam bolts just clamp it in place for alignment but it keeps slipping in those brackets. It really has nothing to do with the kryptonite part. I think I just need to look into some better cam bolts.

@trove1312 Gotcha. Appreciate the feed back!

Ours too!

Yeah, I agree😂

I bought mine used but it is made by ARB. Baseline overland is a good place to purchase it from. They have a lot of other products for Chevy's

The G80 is very nice and allows us to go a lot more places than we would without it. However a lot of them came with the G80 even if they weren't Z71. I had a 05 yukon xl that had the g80 and skid plates. I would just look at the glove compartment and see if it has the G80 code in there. You can also look underneath and see if they came with the factory skid plates.

Sounds like good old fashioned work!

We have about 6 acres, but we also have access to some additional land

I did not upgrade them but I think it’s a good idea. I probably will next time I replace them

@trove1312 i feel the same, i feel like id have better brake control with such a packed out rig.

Not really, at least not that I know of. There aren't many "named" trails in the Ozarks. It's a big mixture of various forest service roads in varying conditions.

Yep it sprays impressively far in my opinion!

Thanks, good info to know!

Thanks! I used a log to keep the strainer off the bottom to help keep sediment out.

@@RuffTymesBob it should be fine with this style of pump these little trash pumps bypass when shut off they keep pressure in the hose but it won't hurt them like it would a gear pump or the higher quality pto pumps on firetrucks

I might get some, knowing how well I maintain things I’ll probably need it

Yep, we’ll be using it a lot next summer

We're at around 250,000

@@trove1312 Thanks. Trying to decide between a Toyota Sequoia and aGMT800 Tahoe. Most I see for sale are between 150-200k. Never had a GM product so I’m a bit leery.

@@shinhochulp I don't know Toyotas very well but I do know those first gen sequoias are supposed to be reliable. The biggest thing you frequently see on a gmt800 is the transmission going out around 200,000. It's not always the case but it is pretty common especially if it hasn't been cared for.

@@trove1312 Thanks for the heads up. The 1st gen Sequoia’s are pretty reliable I think. What I like about the Tahoe is I can walk into any parts store in anywhere USA and pick up almost every part I’d need. Sequoia’s parts are hit and miss. And I think even transmission rebuilds would be cheaper(?) than Toyota’s. Anyway, thanks for the input. I’m keeping and eye out for a clean, well-kept one.

Yep, they are everywhere and parts are easy to find. Also every mechanic knows how to work on them if you do need help on something

It did end up passing, blocking the casino license. The casino is now suing the state over it. In the future, counties will be able to have a say in whether a casino comes to their county or not.

I would agree, there really no point to the heater. most people don’t have that much electricity to burn and they also don’t want to leave their vehicle idling for the length of time to heat it.

​@@trove1312 Yeah it's impractical even when it works, it'd be nice if they came out with an upgraded model with 2 gallons of water tank so 2 people could take showers without having to heat water twice, or even better, a gas integrated heater

We didn’t see a single person this time surprisingly

Not for these

My trans cooler is already in front of the condenser. I don’t plan on converting to electric. I know some people like it but for what I do I prefer the fan clutch.

Also use screen for like screen doors behind the grill. Helps keep all kinds of stuff out. An keep her breathing real nice

I came here to say that, lol. Last clutch fan I had I ditched and went electric. Doesn't bog the motor down anymore either.

This is true!

We did walk it, but we went head and drove it as well as it wasn’t quite too deep for us

Hope you enjoy it!

Sounds good!

We are running Baseline Overland roof racks and Kryptonite tie rods

Yeah buddy!

Man, that sounds like a rough year!

@trove1312 yessir, it definitely has been. Maybe I'll get ahead enough finally that I can finish my sliding kitchen/sleep platform. That was another project that this year stole from me 😂

Nice, I’ve seen your rig around! love the old two doors

Indeed!

Thanks for coming! I enjoyed seeing the Tacoma on the trail

Yep! They each have their own unique squeaks that come from years of use

Yes I do somewhere back there. Probably need to do a new one at this point 😂

Yes 33’s. I’m running about 2-2.5 off of leveling keys on the front and about 1.5 on the back via h2 hummer springs.

@trove1312 Ok thanks I realy preciate it buddy! I've got a 89 GMC Ext cab long bed K3500 single wheel not dualy pickup. Your Surburban looks to be bout the same length and I'm fixing to start on it to be able to get out there and enjoy outdoors. Mines got a factory 454 and factory 4 speed. I used to think it mite be to heavy til I seen a Excursion, I think that's what it's called, Fords extra longer than a Sunurban off roading with a bunch of jeeps yotas dodges etc and they was having to realy get rough with their vehicles it was 20 something in all and all of a sudden here come this big Excursion up through there and hw just purred and I never seen him spin a tire and then they got to a big mud hole and he just walked right through it and I was realy shocked cause how big and much heavier it is. But with you Bless yalls heart yall need a bus to carry your family and a great family too good job! So I was just wondering cause I want to put 33s on mine and I'm not jacking it up way high but I will have to go like you 2.5 or 3 and I'm good with that. Thinks for responding and helping me out!

Because that’s how you break things. Yes momentum may get you up some but you only need to use as little as possible otherwise you’re going to break a lot more stuff.

As slow as possible but as fast as necessary. With a 7000lb truck momentum breaks things. I have a video of just that from last year in Kentucky where it was muddy and slick but momentum was necessary to make the obstacle.

@@overlandtowater yeah, exactly what I meant

Thanks!

Mostly 4lo. When we’re off-roading I usually either need 4 lo or just leave it in 2wd.

Yep, I'll have to do a solid front axle swap before I can do a front locker. It's on the agenda though!

Glad I happened to have one sitting around!

Don't forget to thank his brother who brought it to you cause wrong know how he is he will get his feelings hurt and pooch his lop out and pout for a long time and you know we wouldn't want that to happen now would we? Bless his little heart he trys so hard and yall still won't invite little brother to go with yall! Yall ought to be ashamed of yalls self! Happy Trails!!!

It was a little tricky!

That largely depends on humidity levels, temperature, and the number of people inside it. Sometimes yes and sometimes no
