Rooftop Tent for 2012 Hoe
Funny, was just telling my buddy today that I planned on buying the skycamp before covid hit. I did a lot of research and landed the same conclusion... its on the list for next winter depending on covid stuff (need my parents back from FL to watch the kiddos so the wife and I can escape once... -
Powerstep running boards
Lithium grease is actually bad for the hinges. It captures debris and increases friction over time. AMP recommends only using silicone spray lubricant on their hinges. I had an issue with one of mine binding. I think I rushed the install, so I took my time and made sure I following the... -
New Jersey..BMX racing
Not BMX but we do XC racing. My son was really looking forward to this season... i'm hoping they have the races in the fall if events are cancelled through the summer. June is our heavy hitter with races every weekend, and I don't see it happening this year sans some miracle. -

Matt's Yukon XL 2500 (Giant Silver Unicorn) Build
Didnt get the Deavers The 3"blocks were tall enough. And we ended up buying a home quite a bit over budget which in turn put the travel trailer purchase on hold, so no heavy towing duties yet- Matt_

Lifts for 2500 Subs or Yukon XLs...what am I missing?
You said you read my build. Pay close attention to the trimming methods I used (and part numbers for the brackets). I had to trim quite a bit for "small" 35s with 5.5" lift and moderate 0mm offset wheels. But I did it in a way that's nearly invisible to an untrained eye. Highly recommend...- Matt_

Lifts for 2500 Subs or Yukon XLs...what am I missing?
Search for 2009. Most kits are shown as fitting up through 2010 because the 2500 series trucks changed suspension designs in 2011, however the 2500 series SUVs stayed the same until their last model year of 2013. I personally like the Cognito NTBD kit. It has the shortest track width increase...- Matt_

Best home garage lift for Tahoe (and your other cars)!!
Yeah in my case my garage was already built when I bought my house. Found the plans and its 4" concrete. The roof trusses will only allow me to lift a tall SUV a few feet.... wont be doing any tranny swaps. So for my situation I'm leaning more towards the quickjack; perfectly fine for all the... -
Best home garage lift for Tahoe (and your other cars)!!
I was actually just looking at the same setup! The extension is great because it adds another 1.5" of lift height (which i might need for my lifted yukon XL). Another thing i was thinking about the quickjack is that its mobile... can use it in any of my garage bays, or the driveway. Let me... -
Best home garage lift for Tahoe (and your other cars)!!
I just downloaded the installation manual because I was curious as well... it says "The floor on which the lift is to be installed must be 4-inch minimum thickness concrete, with a minimum compressive strength of 3000 psi. (Reinforced steel bar optional)" This is definitely on my radar.... -

Suburban off road?
The "off roading" I do is basically just fire roads, fields, beaches; not traditional off roading like I would do with my jeep on rocks or off camber rutted trails. She gets me anywhere I want to go- Matt_

Tesla Cybertruck
They made it so damn ugly on purpose..... free press. If it was a nice/normal looking truck itd have a fraction of the attention it's getting, and would be "just another electric vehicle"- Matt_

Rim Choices 2007 GMC Yukon 2500
It's not hard to do and isn't visible once the liner is on. You basically make one "cut", then fold the two flaps of metal up onto the firewall. No structural or cosmetic changes. I smooth all edges and put a few layers of oil based epoxy for protection. Have done this on every GM truck I've had. -
Rim Choices 2007 GMC Yukon 2500
Clearance is not any different than stock. Add bigger tires, trim and reshape liners to get clearance back. Stock tires damn near touch the liners at full lock. It's a complete non issue. I love the snow -
