Hi everyone. Here is my beater Suburban running wild and free in the hills of Central California.
I've been doing a rolling restoration for the last few years. Often, it ends up being more restoration than I planned. I tried to replace a leaking pinion seal without reading the instructions, which turned into a total axle build. Doh.
I took the opportunity to get an LSD and do a rear disc swap at the same time.
Then I was doing a front brake service and bearing repack, but kept finding worn out parts. I kept removing them until I was inside the diff, and still finding them. So, another axle build, and another LSD. And hey, since I'm in there, why not do a total front end refresh?
This last summer was way too hot, so I did a Sanden conversion after getting one trash compressor after another from the parts store.
And I painted the air cleaner. Because why not?
Then the gas tank sprang a leak and failed smog. So that got replaced.
Since I was in there, I did some undercoating.
I'm working on a cooling system refresh right now.
It's taking way too long. Probably because I pulled the core support out to paint it too.
And refurbish the heater box.
And a bunch of other stuff I can't remember now.
Anyway, thanks everyone.
