    What kinds of winch bumpers is everyone running?

    I dug around on here a little bit, but was hoping to get some more pictures and ideas for what people are running for winch and winch bumper setups. My previous '89 Suburban had an old Ramsey 12,000lb winch and some generic aftermarket bumper when I bought it. I'd like to do the same thing...

    Jeep steering shaft

    I think Cunningham is supposed to make a decent one. I haven't tried it, but I've been considering trying that out.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I'm thinking pretty hard about the Cunningham Machine steering shaft to throw on the 89 Burb. I've heard those are pretty good at tightening up the steering when you ditch the rag join. Gotta make sure it'll work first, though. I was also thinking about putting a new fuel pump in before the...

    1991 Suburban 3/4 ton: TBI to Holley Sniper conversion - stupid, or worth it?

    Did you end up making the swap? I've thought about this, too. Eventually, I'd like to get a 5.3 or 6.0 and a 4L80E to put in my Suburban, but that's going to be a longer project. I'm leaning towards just using that money for the swap.

    I'd like to list my '87 1500 for sale, but I don't have the privileges needed. Do I have to hit a certain number of posts before I can list in the classified section?

    Whip antenna for CB on a Suburban

    I had some movement going on for the past few months, so I forgot to update the thread. Got the CB in and ran the whip off of the bumper. That seems to be working, so I don't think I've fried it yet. While I was fixing the loosened bolts on the tilt column, I went ahead and got a new...

    Definitely curious to hear how this one turns out!

    I've thought about going this route, too. One day, I would like to get a ham license

    Whip antenna for CB on a Suburban

    Thanks! I got one in the mail the other day. My best guess at avoiding drilling holes in the body is making a bracket off of the receiver hitch to clearance it away from the body a little bit. I'm sure this is still less-than-ideal, but if it doesn't work well, maybe i'll switch to a magnetic...

    Whip antenna for CB on a Suburban

    Okay, it's been a while since I've been on here, but the project is (of course) snowballing! I cleared out the garage to paint the new drywall, still haven't hooked up the CB or antenna, but sent the factory radio out to get repaired by Joe Sciarrino (great to work with, it all seems to...

    I'm surprised- especially out in Texas. I'd think there'd be some dead spots for cell phones where people would want another comms option.

    I do love old Buicks! I had a '65 Skylark GS 4 speed, '87 turbo Regal, and a '70 Skylark. The CB on the '70 would have been awesome. Maybe that Wilson would be the way to go. Where did you sneak the cable in through? I'd like to avoid drilling holes, if possible.

    Haha! I looked it up on YouTube. This is the first I've ever heard of/seen this
