Re: The Story Of A Cummins Suburban (Lots Of Pics)

This is a short vid that Larry shot of it climbing the face and getting into place for the evening.

Re: The Story Of A Cummins Suburban (Lots Of Pics)

Moses....you might have posted this already....but there are A LOT of posts in this thread lol! When you mounted the Cummins in your burb, did your original engine cross member stay in the stock place? Also, can you provide any detail pics of your motor mounts? Just needing the specifics because I might put a Cummins in another burb I have. Thanks again. By the way, love the travel pics......

"Hey, I would like to be in there"

"Larry, give it up already"

Two quotes that made me bust up laughing.

No, the stock crossmember got sold. I made a crossmember out of 2x4 .250 wall tubing. I can't really take any pics of them because I can't see them anymore. This post has a little bit of them in sight.

Kid is a character. Then Larry plays it like it was scripted.

Re: The Story Of A Cummins Suburban (Lots Of Pics)

This is a view of camp that night: That is Larry and my boy up on top of the hill. He has a great pic from up there that I need to steal and post up.



This is the pic of the view from the truck that I sent out in the morning (had cell service here too).



After the load out, down the trail a bit:



I thought this looked cool:



Closer. I like how the dirt has eroded from around the bottom.



Gratuitous truck shot:



Some generic scenery:



Larry had a Code 14 on the way in: (I had a Code 60 on the way out)



More generic scenery:



Another gratuitous truck shot:



More scenery. It is very difficult to convey in pictures how awesome the scenery was in this area. I need a super-mega wide angle lens, but even that would not do it. Horizon to horizon. Amazing.



After we got back to the highway, we aired up and I found out my new compressor was only good for 2.5 tires. This is good when you have a motorcycle, but I happened to bring a truck on this run so it was not so good. Luckily Larry's compressor was good for at least six tires so we finished off my other 1.5 with his. After we hit the highway we rolled through a massive area of petrified sand dunes.





Pulling a hill that was part of the Hole in the Rock Trail long, long ago:



Random road shot that I liked:



Yep, that's where we are going:

Re: The Story Of A Cummins Suburban (Lots Of Pics)

The thing i like the most about this rig is that it just works. Thousands and thousands of miles on it, and it just keeps on keeping on. I really hope my 2 diesel swaps turn out this way.

Thanks!! I like that one and the following one because if you focus on the leading edge of the hood it is a good representation of how it looks while we are ripping along at speed. That hill we were pulling was at least a 7% grade if not a little more. Neat place.

Thanks. That is my favorite part about the truck too. We passed 35,000 a while back and it is not showing any signs of slowing down.

I checked out your Ranger in your sig. Now I am no fan of Rangers, but that thing is sweet!! Very nice job!!

I'm in the middle of a mad dash to get my rig running before the snow flys!!!

That last pic you posted was something we saw on our way home Texas when we bought our truck. Burb looks good!

What happened here Nick? Did you fall asleep or something and forget you have us all strung out waiting for more pictures? It’s been 8 days for crying out loud!

Oh sure. The old "I was in the hospital" excuse. Seems like all that laying around would have given you ample opportunity to do some photo editing and downloading.

The hospital determined my death was not imminent and kicked me out with the same pain I walked in with. It was comforting to know my death was not imminent though.

You could probably find a better one in this thread...... Maybe something without a stinky gas engine in it.

You know, I *think* I have ONE somewhere. I will look for it and post it when I do. It is nothing spectacular though. Just that little bracket on the floor and rachet straps.

LOL! Best scene in the movie you lollygagger.

So what were you doing for the 7 days you were not in the ER and hadn't posted. We figured you had a long convalescence in there with tubes and machines that go 'bing' etc. etc. You know, laying around on your lazy ass. Not something as simple as 'my whatzit hurts when I push here and here and here' and the Dr says your finger is broken. Come on! Details dude.
