An Off-road Car Modification: The Former School Bus, 1992 Chevy 1500 Suburban, Turns Into Super Suburban Off-Road Car

It seems a common sense when people think about off-road cars, they will refer to it as a very unique cars and in the end can make anyone speechless. If the owners modify their off-road cars amazingly, others will envy them for having 4x4 and start to take an interest toward it. The living example of this case is Doug Hampton from Pagosa Springs, Colorado, who owned 1992 Chevy Suburban. The Chevy itself is a former school bus with its shocking yellow color and the very big size so people will easily notice it.
When Easter Jeep Safari was held in 2012 in Moab, Utah, Hampton’s Chevy stood out very brightly and bigger than Jeeps which dominated the event at that time. With school bus size and its very bright color, it is no wonder that his Chevy left people around him slack-jawed and awed at the same times. It is known that his ride loaded with super amazing components. Some of them can be categorized as unusual components. The engine type of the Chevy is 5.9L 12-valve Cummins twin-turbo diesels.
Previously, the amazing off-road car spent its life as a school bus in New York. However, as the time went by, the school bus changed into a worthy off-road car with its components, such as Boatec front fenders and fiberglass hood. Auto hood pins functioned to hold the lightweight hood and the fenders pinned with two small bolts and four quarter-turn fasteners. However, the hood and fenders can be removed in only five minutes. Another modification that has been done by Hampton is the Chevy stock unit, so that it can be fitted rig’s tube chassis and Warn 16.5ti winch. The exterior modifications include front and rear receiver hitches and the lighting for the car like Pro Comp HID forward-facing and Hella rear-facing. Tractor lights functioned as rock lights that positioned under the truck’s front and rear.
