I drove a 22 high country 1500 a couple days. Hated it.

Spent some time in a 22+ tundra, not in extremely love with it.

17+ raptors have a soft spot with me.

Still just chugging along in my $100 hoopdie.

When i duramax swapped my yukon i reused the 6.0 steering box not sure what could be different

Id fix up the LBZ i blew the motor in my duramax Yukon and now have to build a motor for it its painful to see what its gonna cost but its far cheaper than any other option and there is nothing like a GMT800 they are just my favorite trucks. I dont hot rod like back in the day I own a 2017 BMW M3 for the speed nowadays but i need a 3/4ton to tow my camper and having something thats paid for is way better than forking out tons on a new truck i wouldn't even care to drive

Kev, are you going to build it yourself or have a shop do it?

Corbin, I'll give you $200 for the LBZ. You'd double your money. :LOL:

Nothing new blows up my skirt enough to make me want another payment.

I might have some stockish LBZ parts laying around if you're interested

I got your pm.

I wouldn’t mind having the bumper but I’m sure shipping would be killer. Unless we run across each other somewhere.

It would just cost you Fuel as I've tried to sell a few times with no luck. Or if anyone on here is running in between west MS and wherever you are in Mizzou

I did drive a TRX recently. If I had the budget I would have one in the driveway.

Also power wagons aren’t terrible.

But none are paid for. Have a 1000+ fuel range and I know like the back of my hand.. so in the yard the lbz sits still

If budget wasn't a concern, a TRX or a power wagon would be in my driveway. I have a 52 gallon tank in my LBZ and i enjoy the 1000+ mile range as well!

60 gallon in the bed.

I went almost 1400 miles on one fill up on a trip to Maine a couple years ago.
Yeah this 26gl tank in mine (ECSB) sucks, definitely on the list though further down the list of things to do lol

Edit seams titan makes a 37gl replacements tank for ECSB trucks

Titan makes a 52. S&B makes a 62

I’ve been eyeing the 62 Gallon, it would be nice to free up the bed space I have tied up with the 60 gallon in bed. Still gets me damn near 1000 mile range. Definitely a comfortable 750+.

I saw but 52/62 are for the CCSB/CCLB trucks.. they got a 37 for us ECSB guys
They also have a 30gl that mounts in spare tire location
700 range would be nice

Odd.. I have a customer I installed a 52 gallon titan in his ecsb 🤷🏻‍♂️ Not sure why they list them as different.

I've also seen a lot of problems with seals leaking on Fox shocks. I would also avoid them. I've been happy with every Bilstein shock I've used.
Good to know - we are in a complete Frame-off Restauration.
Kryptonite advice us a Front-End-Kit with Fox Shocks nevertheless they have the same kit with Bilstein.
We know Bilstein also as a good and reliable brand. Fox is unknown for us.
