Two new rides and the trailer!

DigUout · November 27, 2002

I recently got wifey a "new" Suburban and picked myself up a "new" 4x4 project buggy. A big THANK YOU to Jon for hosting these pics and the great new banner!

Wifey's '98 GMC 2500 SLE Suburban -

My '89 GMC SLE Jimmy -

Soon to have a 2 1/2 inch lift with 33's or a 4" lift and 35's

The 'Burb and my 27ft Interstate snowmobile trailer. Holds 4 to 5 sleds and in the summer we throw in cots, our camping gear and soon our ATV's and use it as a camper trailer -

Wifey won't let me do much to "her" 'Burb, but the Jimmy is definately going to undergo a transformation over the next year. In addition to the lift, wheels and tires, there may be a new motor, sound system, exterior mods and more. The body, paint and interior is still like new. A real find. More pic posts as the Jimmy evolves -

The Blazer oughta look nice whenyou get the lift on. (Not saying it looks like s*%t now though )

I have a question, Did you get rid of the White '98 K2500?

That Blazer will look awesome when it is lifted and riding on big tires. I have always wanted to pic up an old Blazer to lift and turn into a pure off-roading truck. But no money for another vehicle now, so I will be lifting my truck.

Since that Blazer already has a TBI 350 and a NP205 t-case, the next thing it needs is some new axles. I think you ought to ditch the stock 10 bolts for a Corporate FF 14 bolt out back and a Dana 60 in the front. Ought to be plenty strong enough to handle some 33's.

Yes General, I sold the truck earlier this year. It was paid for, had close to 100K on it and I wanted a big block to pull the trailer. Plus it made more sense to have a vehicle that could carry 4 or more guys comfortably, if I could tow 4 or more sleds. Nobody likes to sit on the ext cab bench for very long!

Kyle, I have in the back of my mind a plan for the axles on that Jimmy. Not initially, but maybe eventually..... :thumb:
