99 Suburban K1500

[Cokeman95]

This is my 99 Suburban K1500 LT I picked up in October 2014. It's been a pretty good daily driver and family hauler. I've not done much other than maintenance and a few minor mods. Goal is just a clean subtly modded daily driver.
Anyway on to the pics

Day I bought it at the gas station on the way home.

Picked up a hood from the pick a part since mine was missing most of the clear coat.

Nice rig. I think I'm stealing the 3rd row 12V power source you set up.

First time I think I've seen a full picture of your Suburban! I've been meaning to hunt up a diesel bumper for the longest time, but the leaky, worn out old 350 is kind of taking priority right now.
Beautiful truck!

Very clean burb. Where did you get the 12v outlet and 4 hi mod?

Thanks! It's been incredibly useful.

Thanks! The outlet came from amazon.

The 4hi I made from stuff I had laying around.

I like the headlights in the diesel bumper. Can you do a bit of a write up on that?

Here you go:

I laid the brackets in the bumper to see how they fit best and ended up mounting them opposite of how they would normally bolt up.

I then cut off most of the light bucket I wouldn't be using.

I used a piece of angle iron to bolt the brackets to the bottom of the bumper.

Disclaimer this is not my picture (I believe it's 88GMCtruck's photo), but mine looks similar minus the hid ballasts.

I wire wheeled the inside of the bumper and sprayed it with rust inhibitor and undercoating before mounting it.

I did a lot of cutting and trial and error to make my setup. I'm not entirely happy with it, but it works fine until I decide to make a new version.

Hope this helps.
