    What have you done to your square lately??

    Gave it a bath and removed the roof rack because it needs a fresh coat of paint. I can't decide if I'm going to put it back on though, it's handy for hauling home bulky items like lumber but it's a pain to wash the top of the truck with it on. I'm guessing it also causes a 1-2 mpg penalty in...

    Evaporator line coming out of a/c box

    It appears to be the same material used to seal the cowling. You can get tubes of Cowl Seam Sealer from Amazon for around $15. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007Q0ZQGK/

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Yeah, I own one of those but the wifey borrowed it a couple of weeks ago for something and I haven’t seen it since. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen much of her either. :shrug:

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    For someone wanting a squarebody with a factory 4L80 overdrive, '91 is the only game in town. A solid front axle calls out to buyers that don't trust the pushbutton-on-the-dash 4x4, so it can't be lumped in with the GMT400 line. This year also had different mirrors from previous years. Not...

    Have to store outside. Truck Cover?

    I agree with you, but there's a big difference between tossing a plastic tarp from Harbor Freight over your lawnmower and using a quality car cover. The materials that car covers are made from these days are micro-porous, meaning they have the ability to breath while still protecting your...

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    One of the best deals I've seen lately. Clean California truck, 3/4T 4x4 with the 4L80. Asking price of $7500. You could send this back east and double your money. https://bakersfield.craigslist.org/cto/d/bakersfield-1991-gmc-2500-subu/7426858640.html

    Best jack with 30” minimum lift

    Farm jack? I thought they were just called “Bumper Benders”. Hate those things.

    Will 35s fit on a 4in lift without rubbing?

    I'm running the 4" EZ's and same size tires as GD on 16x8 rims, only difference is I have the DeeZee running boards. They rubbed quite a bit on the front mud flaps until I trimmed the running boards enough to pull the flaps back in line with the wheel well. In normal driving they never touch...

    Thoughts on price?

    Like he said about location. In California you can reduce those values by 50%.

    What Seat Is This? (Front fold down between buckets)

    Yeah, That burb should have a bumper sticker that says "My other car is a rapevan."

    What Seat Is This? (Front fold down between buckets)

    Dude! You left out the best part of the story!! The guy wants $16K for his truck, he's "pretty firm on the price," because the body is "near perfect" and apparently, he knows what he's got. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/d/los-angeles-1985-gmc-suburban-liter/7413137698.html

    BC’s boat/dumpster fire thread

    I have those zigzag cleats on my pontoon boat. One of the best mods I've done to it and makes tying up to docks easy-peasy.

    Suburban Rear Heat & AC removal/installation/compatability

    My '89 has rear ac only. It seems like the heater units aren't that common, I've only seen pictures of them. Yes, the ac is tied in to the front system. Removing one would be pretty straightforward, the only part that might be tricky is where the rear lines enter the cabin at the back corner. It...

    Finally ordering the lift

    You'll find out pretty quick. Seems like some don't have any problems but my stopping distances were, depending on speed, about equal to either a freight train or a cruise ship. Fixed it with a hydroboost conversion.

    Finally ordering the lift

    You might want to order a back brace and kidney belt while you’re at it.

    Finally ordering the lift

    I ordered RC because it was inexpensive. By the time I replaced the front springs with TC, ditched the shocks that RC supplied, and figured out the brake line extension brackets didn’t work, I ended up paying way too much for some 4” blocks and a raised steering arm.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I've had these for a while now but forgot about them until AG mentioned sharpening chains. I was taking my chains to a local guy that would sharpen them for $8-10, which is cheaper than buying new, but still gets expensive when you're cutting old hardwoods and dulling them quickly. I don't cut...

    Clearbra on a squarebody?

    I have three cars with Xpel, but never bothered with the square because it came with some old-school old-man accessories that prevent chips, Dee Zee running boards and a wind deflector on the hood. My oldest car with ppf is an ‘04 Accord. 3M material was installed when new, and then replaced...

    1989 Suburban Fan Shroud

    I measured mine as best I could with the shroud in place and 19" for the radiator seems accurate. I also measured the top half of the shroud and it's 10.75" from the bottom lip to the top mounting hole.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    A couple of recent additions. A blower? Yup, I've discovered how handy these are for drying off cars after washing. I was using my Echo gas blower but the neighbors didn't appreciate the noise first thing in the morning (I like to wash my cars before the sun comes up). This Toro F700 puts...
