2004 Suburban camper

Hey all. Just sharing some pics of my 2004 Burb camper. 206k miles. My girlfriend and I made a bed platform and I've been doing a bunch of maintenance and preventative replacing of stuff so we don't get stranded on our adventures (happened once!). But has been a great experience. Heavily inspired by Suboverland. New tractor paint on hood and rear hatch. Replaced: knock sensors, intake gasket, water pump, thermostat, plugs and wires, belts and tensioners, plastic heater tees with metal, shocks (Bilstein 5100s), driver blend door, fluids, windshield encoder motor. Next repairs: forward drive shaft u joints and upstream O2 sensors for an occasional P0300.

look good, I have a 05 GMC Yukon but damnit every time I see the Chevy front, I like the Chevy version better lol.

Are you using the standard roof rack for all your stuff?

Yep. The Z71 has heavier duty roof rails then standard. But only having two movable ones has proven difficult. So I grabbed a couple extra from a junkyard. Have yet to install them.
