    Sweet truck. The RPOs are in your favor. 4.10s and G80!

    Pics from a week or so ago. All the lenses replaced and headlights aimed. Burb is off to the shop for an ABS bleed, state inspection, front end alignment and charge/find the leaks in the AC.

    Daily Driver K2500 Refresh

    Your CCSB is awesome truck and my favorite color! Dark blue was always my favorite and hard to find.....still looking. A random stranger offered me more in cash than I had in my K2500 Suburban. I turned him down but that guy gave me some motivation to quit staring at it and get it back into...

    I had thought that I was going to go back with the steelies but I was second guessing. After seeing the pic that @South VA posted a few days ago of his suburban I really liked the steelies. I do like the way the Silverado wheels look on @OutlawDrifter suburban. The steelies are original to the...

    I had posted these pics over on the daily truck thread and did not get much response. What do you all think? Steelies, H2 or Silverado wheels? I am going to have to buy a set of tires no matter which way I go.

    This is my K2500 Suburban. It came with steel wheels. I bought a set of H2 wheels and late 2000s Silverado wheels. What is your opinion? What do you think looks the best?

    Forgot to mention that I added a few cranks to the torsion bars. Not looking for a lot of lift but wanted the front be only about an inch or so lower than the rear. When I started, the keys were sitting flush on the stops with the bolts backed all the way out. Will have to play with it a little...

    Last fluid on the Burb to be touched was the transmission. I was not dreading it because the 4l80 has a drain plug in the pan. That is till I found out someone has borrowed and not returned T55 Torx bit. Immediately I started dreading this.... As expected, I made mess! I can tell by the gasket...

    Few things left to do underneath. Started towards the rear and moved to the front. Drained the transfer case and refilled with Amsoil. It was brown and needed the new blood. I forgot I bought it but found it in the back of the Burb, so installed a new Energy Suspension transmission mount. No...

    Now a heads up for anyone wanting Spyder Glass housings. When I ordered these I read nothing but good reviews. When I installed the first bulb it wiggled so much and I was honestly worried it would fall out just driving down the road. There were three screws that, I assume, the bulb was supposed...

    These were the lenses/housing only. I reused the original circuit boards and gaskets. To my delight the existing gaskets were in good shape so I felt good about reusing them.

    I bought these awhile ago and have been excited to get them installed. Replaced the front headlamp assemblies with new Spyder Glass units. I never checked them out when they arrived. They were packaged very well and neither were broken. Also replaced the bulbs with new Fahren Termitor LEDs. I...

    Replaced the rear taillights with some new TYC units. Did not get a before pic. Trust me, they did not look good. Planning on keeping the turn/brake bulbs incandescent but I did decide go with a super bright LED reverse lights.

    Not a whole lot of time the other day but the whole steering linkage is built and installed. All torqued to spec and all zerks have a good shot of Lucas Red'n'Tacky. Went Moog for all of the steering parts and pleasantly surprised to see Made in the USA on all the boxes. This Burb came with a...

    Enjoyed reading your thread so far. I am on my second 2 door.....never should have sold the first one. Probably would have a build thread on mine but I did it before I started posting on GMT400. Pretty much replaced everything you have plus a LS swap. How does your Gibson sound? I have a...

    Remember that pic early on of the pile of parts in boxes. This is much better! Through the day I kept throwing boxes in the same pile. End of the day, here is the pile of empty boxes. Never thought I would feel a since of satisfaction from a pile of empty cardboard.

    Lets talk brakes. I went through the effort of going disc conversion out back and wanted to do something for the front. Read up on the GMT800 conversions but leaned on something that was more of a bolt on deal. Probably cannot tell from the pics but the burb now has K3500 Dual Rear Wheel (DRW)...

    But here is one that should be. It looks like a gmt400 that could actually roll again! The front end is back together folks! Everything replace new.....a lot to list but here goes: Upper Control arms replaced with new Mevotech complete units Lower control arms with Energy Suspension bushings...

    All the steering components are being replaced and here is the first step. Replaced the mount for the idler arm. I realize this post is not that exciting.

    Things got a little stagnant around the holidays. The front differential is finally back under the burb and torqued down. Same as the rear, the front was rebuilt but East Coast Gear. Ultimately I decided to leave the front an open diff. East Coast also pressed all four new case bushings. Filled...

    On to rear brakes.... Decided on a Lugnut 4x4 rear disc brake kit. I opted for Ceramic bads and stainless braided line for the calipers. In addition I swapped the rear drop/soft line with a stainless steel line from Classic Tubes. Replaced the hard lines from the drop to the caliper lines with...
