    Sound dampening

    I put a piece of insulation in one of the roof bays and that completely stopped the condensation in that bay...I guess the concept of thermal bridging exists even in a squarebody

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    Ok…I’m about to run some stereo wires! 1 1/2 year later ain’t bad?! Question- I have a tote bin full of RCA cables from various home theater configuration over the years.. can I use these for head unit to amp connection? I know they won’t be as flexible as automotive but I think in this...

    Sound dampening

    Condensation mostly happens on surfaces that are colder than the moist air Ok…that would make a lot of sense then..if the headliner was on, then the inside part of the roof would be warmer than the outside…thus no condensation? Even if the ambient air temp/humidity was the same? Trippy…haha

    Basically this is happening because the back window is out?

    Sound dampening

    Here is the condensation I'm getting. 66 high in the day and 48 overnight low. The back window is out right now, waiting on the correct size sash tape. I was going to cut a piece of foam and put it up in one of the bays for my driveway experiment to see if the condensation is BECAUSE the roof...

    Sound dampening

    Interesting you brought this up because without the headliner on, sometimes I will go out in the morning and see condensation on the inside roof! I'm assuming it is happening on the backside of all the body panels and just burns off? Condensation getting stuck was my big worry about sticking...

    Suburban Tailgate Window Switch

    Haha, thanks Bucket! Not so sure about the genius part, maybe more of an expert at masking my flaws...I have had enough experience, haha

    Suburban Tailgate Window Switch

    Update on the switch part… I used a 2mm brass screw to reattach the tab (my soldering skills have always been suspect)..I then stacked some of the nuts on the backside and ground them down with dremmel to get more or less the correct diameter for the lead to attach..

    81-87 Body molding measurements?

    That looks bad ass…. You have convinced me to put trim on my Suburban, sir!

    81-87 body molding

    After much consideration, I think I am going to trim out the Suburban… I think a roll and cutting it on a miter saw would work? Maybe blade friction on the plastic would create a seal on the end? That being said, where is the best place to get it? I replaced the chrome insert trim on my...

    Suburban Tailgate Window Switch

    Hey All! In going down the proverbial rabbit hole with the tailgate I pulled out the regulator to clean/lube and the tailgate switch because it didn't work. In lubing up the regulator, has anyone ever used SLIP Plate (graphite spray) on the geared pieces? I think the rollers should still get...

    Sound dampening

    In pulling out all my boxes of stuff to put this Suburban back together, I found my boxes of Kilmat... I have (2) 36 sq ft boxes and vaguely remember my plan to be do the floors with the Kilmat and with the ceiling, doing foil backed foam in between the headliner almost like a wall assembly...

    Mystery hole on fenders

    That trim is by far and away the best package GM ever put on a square body! Now I’m thinking no trim..?! With that being said, if I don’t put trim on it does anyone have any good ideas to cover those holes…aside from going back to the body shop!?

    Mystery hole on fenders

    Thanks all! Actually I wasn’t wanting the trim…however after seeing it without, I think it almost needs trim..otherwise it looks like a big blob?

    Mystery hole on fenders

    Ya know…after looking at it closer…there is a hole in the back and front fender…looking at some google images has me thinking they are for mud flaps (maybe dealer installed?). The holes seem “finished” or maybe even punched, not drilled…

    Mystery hole on fenders

    That’s what I thought as well…every side trim I see for 81+ is an adhesive? I looked on LMC, etc and didn’t see a retainer for side trim?

    Mystery hole on fenders

    Hey All! Just got the ok Burb back from the paint shop and now the reassembly process begins! I was trying to lay out all the parts and see what I’m missing, what they lost and what I need to order and noticed a hole in the fenders I didn’t have them fill and realized there wasn’t anything in...

    Winch Mount

    I just got a quote for a 20’ length, 1/4” angle with 2 1/2”x3 1/2” legs for $180… I think that is the best bumper I have seen yet and I would imagine there is $300-$400 of steel in that bumper. With shipping included in the price that makes it an absolute bargain

    I like that look too…I guess the big companies can mass produce millions of them for Tundras and new GM and Fords The square body market would be minuscule in comparison and they are not making any more of them!

    Got it, makes sense! Yes, I bought a Badlands Apex with the steel cable for it during the COVID years at what I thought was a rock bottom price but I think they have gotten even cheaper since...

    Winch Mount

    That was my thought as well…would it frowned upon to cut them out and weld in some corner gussets with cutouts to clear the sides of the winch?

    Winch Mount

    Ok...I think I may have found a bumper within a decent drive but had a question on mounting the winch...it looks like it's either a Warn or knock of type bumper but I was wondering if/how the HF ZXR 12000 winch will mount to it? From the dimensions it apprears as though the diagonal pieces...

    Love the slogan...and your right they are a good looking bumper and just a little modern...I think this might fit my project perfectly! Thanks Gents!
