Nice suburban- I have two myself not as rust free though as your's.
I planning to paint one of them in blood red as this beauti.
I understand why import one from the CA.Rust free and the fact that it is a rare truck here, everything here in the EU when it comes to trucks has to be small and useless for me anyway Of course semi trucks huals majority of goods but for a house owner or country residents suburban fills all the needs. It is a daily used work horse.

GRRR...one of the two bulbs is till broken. I contacted the webshop...I hope they can solve this quickly.

kikkegek · 02-28-2011, 05:28 PM

wanted to change the rear too for LED versions.

tried these:
1157 bulb with 60 SMD's.

the difference between normal taillight and brake or signal is almost un-noticable.

check these videos from 2nite.

normal bulb 5W/21W

YouTube - 28 februari 2011 20:07

then the 60SMD Led version: no reflector

then the 60SMD Led version with red reflector:

YouTube - 28 februari 2011 20:40

too bad they didnt bring the result I wanted. changed back to the orignal bulbs again....

kikkegek · 03-21-2011, 05:41 PM

finally replaced the fuelpump 2nite.

at least something is shiny on my engine...I think the valve covers are leaking...

kikkegek · 04-02-2011, 03:27 PM

upgraded the dashboard:

- painted inside glossy white.
- added 5 strips of 3 SMDs attached them to the original bulb connections.
- added a small tach bottom left.

finish it of tomorrow.

I like it....can I give you a pointer?....You might want to make a heat shield for that fuel cell. Looks too close to the exhaust. Your baby is really cute....hate to see the child hurt from a bad mod design.

thanks, but I dont really know what you mean. Can you point it out in one of my pics?

motornut · 04-03-2011, 11:03 AM

it might just be the angle of the pic ,it seems close

kikkegek · 04-03-2011, 11:49 AM

connected the sender from my LPG tank to my regular gasgauge.

closed the dash again.

the new Tach is bottom left. And my LPG tank seems to have the same sender (0-90ohm) as my original gastank, because I just filled her up and she now also shows F (full).

now these lights dont work anymore :
- high beam
- handbrake
- 4WD

well, thats for next weekend.

kikkegek · 04-07-2011, 02:57 PM

took the charcole filter out 2nite. no need for it and lost some extra weight again :-)

motornut · 04-07-2011, 05:07 PM

every bit helps
you will be able to drive by more gas stations now!

kikkegek · 04-12-2011, 05:31 PM

got the electric fan setup done and it looks pretty fine.

and finally, my engine gets up to operating temperature. It hadnt gotten above 150F for over a year now! main reason...damn Flexfan! took it off, replaced it with an electric fan and voila..engine heats up nice and quick and when the fan hits 200F, it cools down within 1 or 2 minutes to 185F.

only thing left is to attach a LED parellel to the electric fan, so I can see on my dash if the fan is running or not...thanks for the tip Gchemist

kikkegek · 05-14-2011, 04:42 PM

removed the chrome pipes from my exhaust manifild that used to connect to the airpump.

finally I can see my valve covers :-)

kikkegek · 05-23-2011, 03:53 PM

just finished custom speaker door panels.

motornut · 05-24-2011, 09:23 AM

kikkegek · 06-02-2011, 04:35 PM

FINISHED!

for a first custom door panel, I think these came out pretty nice!!

The tweeters are near the power windows knobs.

chevak20 · 06-03-2011, 02:03 AM

you can see how I build it a couple of posts back.

I used 12mm MDF, wooden rings, stretched t-shirt over it, epoxied it, then applied 200gr/m2 glasfibre and expoxied that again...used some body filler and then glued the lepardskin over it....came out pretty cool for my first custom door panel build.
