Not really, it is on 5640 # which compared to some of the other weights that have been floating around is rather light. But I have never heard anybody say my truck is to light.

Blazer's 85 Suburban "Twinkie"

Did some work on the burb today. Been figuring out how to do the second row shoulder harness bar. Had to move both of the rear ammo cams back about two inches. As well as dropping the rear of them.
The tape is basically where my idea is to put the bar. Of course its not going to work there though.
Going to have to do two hoops, well "L"'s. The bar all the way across will be in the way for the third seat, even though the occupant is small.

So the hood bouncing is not an issue. Let the daughter drive it today, she wants to take it to school on the last day. So I get to ride in the passenger seat and check things out.
Not sure she is taking it. yet

I was actually thinking it would weigh less than that.
Really the hood doesn't really bounce huh. Interesting
I have a very hard time believing my Yukon and Twinkie weigh the same.

Twinkies are a diet variety of sponge cake...
I thought twinkles almost became extinct recently..
They make me feel about as heavy as my truck if I eat too many...
I did post the scale receipt when I had it done. Let me find it.

page 45 last scaling that got done.
All the ammo boxes weren't in it yet so it is a bit heavier.

So learned a lot today/ night
Dana 60 do not have a bolt that holds the carrier cross pin in. Never knew that, thought my bolt had broken off, was rather ticked.
Call Eric before you get ticked and ask him about it. He will tell you that its a pin that you hammer in and out.
Before you install your locker in the carrier and pull the pins that are spring loaded, make sure you put it in right or you will have to take it apart again. Which is fun with the springs locked.
Even though you have four hub sockets, you dont have the one that fits your truck.
5:13 are to big of a ring gear to take your cross pin out with the ring gear still bolted to the carrier.

All in all sounds like you had fun...
How would you like to take all of that hard earned knowledge and use it to help someone do a 12 bolt and D44? 
So now in when I say things like Keith is locked front and rear, why is only one front wheel spinning? I will actually be right, as opposed to the last like 6 years that I've thought you broke something because you were actually open in the front.
Yup have done all I have done with only three wheel drive
Sure, dont know it all but I probably have the hub socket for it
