4071-PHX 1980 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 4X4 CUSTOM OVERLAND
Built for epic backcountry missions, this 1980 Chevrolet Suburban 4x4 Custom Overland conquers trails with nearly $100,000 in battle-tested upgrades from 27 years of devoted ownership. The bold red and white war paint features masterfully airbrushed Nomad-inspired artwork slicing down its flanks. Geared for off-grid exploration, this rig brings the artillery: massive 15,000-pound Warn winch mounted in the reinforced front bumper, blazing LED headlights, and rock-eating tubular steps. Those 17-inch Weld wheels wrapped in 35x12.50R17LT Nitto Ridge Grapplers grip any terrain, while strategically mounted traction panels add capability. The tactical split rear bumper integrates a fire extinguisher and full-size spare with rotopax fuel storage.
The fortress-like interior combines raw capability with calculated comfort through custom bucket seats armored in tan vinyl and purple suede, anchored by competition-grade Simpson harnesses. A fully integrated off-road cage forms the backbone, with integrated storage nets and reinforced drink holders ready for any mission. The command center features military-spec Auto Meter gauges monitoring all vital systems through a purpose-built dash array. Mission control includes Kenwood communications, USB power ports, and air conditioning. The rear assault bay transforms into a complete mobile base camp featuring a field kitchen with sink and burner, composting facilities, cold storage, and a purple suede-trimmed rest station. Tactical PRP gear bags mount throughout for maximum loadout organization.
The beating 502 cubic inch GM V8 powerplant, custom-built by Speed Sports with AFR aluminum heads and a Lunati cam, channels raw American muscle through a tough TH400 automatic transmission and Gear Vendors overdrive unit. The reinforced transfer case feeds a Dana 44 front differential and GM 14-bolt rear, both fortified with Detroit lockers and 4.88 gears for maximum traction. Fresh leaf springs, Rough Country dampers, and command-controlled rear airbags deliver surgical precision on any battlefield. The electrical grid runs dual Optima batteries with solar regeneration and shore power support. Shorty headers unleash spent gases through a dual exhaust system with specialized mufflers producing a deep battle cry.
