The Yeti

The front end runs our own Z71 Fog Light Adapters to mount a set of square LED fog lights cleanly in the factory bumper openings - no cutting, no brackets hanging out. The grille bowtie wears our Bowtie graphic wrap to tie the whole look together.

The front end ditches the factory torsion bars entirely for an Atomic Fabrication coilover conversion running Viking coilovers. It's a huge upgrade over a cranked-bar setup - better travel, a far more compliant ride, and real adjustability to dial in ride height and damping.

Out back, a set of H2 springs paired with Bilstein 5100 shocks levels the stance and keeps the rear planted under a full load of camp gear and a loaded roof. All in, the setup nets about 2 to 3 inches of lift (maybe closer to 1" in the rear) - enough to clear 32s and soak up washboard and beach ruts without turning a full-size Suburban into a tippy mall crawler. I think I can fit a bigger tire on it once it's in the budget; I put these Wildpeak AT4Ws on it prior to the suspension work.

To handle the increased angles from the conversion, the front runs Trackmotive heavy-duty CV axles so nothing binds or grenades at full droop out on the trail.

The middle row is set up to keep gear organized and reachable on the move. Our rear console table mount holds a tablet within easy reach for navigation and trip planning, and our back seat gear bags hang off the seatbacks to keep tools, recovery gear, and small essentials sorted instead of rolling around the floor.

With one of the captain's chairs folded flat, there's a dedicated spot to strap down a Cordova cooler - food and drinks stay put and stay cold whether we're crawling a forest road or running the beach.
