CK5 - The Full-Size GM Off Road Community

so do we wanna get this all suburban club thing going? i think "CK5 SUB-CULTURE" is a good name. let me know i think it would be awesome!

requirements:
you must own and drive a suburban...
you must be a registered CK5 user.
member status preferred (yall need to register anyway)

YEAH, COUNT ME IN! I THINK THAT WOULD RULE. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

Count me in!!!!!

I'd go for that. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

All right so everyone who is in add "ck5 sub-culture" to the end of your sig. That way will know who all is in and your can spread it to your friends who don't know yet. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

awesome! i totally agree with FLASH LIGHT.

sounds great i've been , viewing here for a while almost daily. but i don't post that often, i probably should post more cause all i think about during the day is my burb and all the things i can and will do to it, like the roll cage , or adding a 120 horsepower electric motor inline, or a third axle, its not like i'll do this stuff but thinking about it and designing it in my head is half the fun... lets get it going, i'd get into it...

i think i might end up being the moderator for the suburban forum. steve asked me if i wanted to. so does this make me EL PRESEDENTE?!

RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!

Sub Culture !!! If I get cultured does that mean I can't play in the MUD?

All hail the comander in chief!! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif you got my vote. I'd even get a membership, Heheheee! Hey just out of curiosity how much does it cost? /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

<font color="green"> </font color> Ok forget I asked /forums/images/icons/wink.gif. So if they do let us do this can we get are own sticker with an extra set of doors on the truck, or are those k5 guys going to get the last laugh? /forums/images/icons/mad.gif

hmmm. not sure about the sticker we'd have to talk to jeff427. thanks for the vote! /forums/images/icons/cool.gif /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Well it would be worth a try. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif I'm sure it shouldn't be that hard.

That would be really sweet if we could get our own sticker.

A little late to post, but sounds great to me! T-Shirts and stickers please! /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

w00t! and now more brethren of the sacred suburban are joining in... and I will no longer be one of 2 people bearing the `CK5-SUB-culture' tag in my sig...

-Rich

club slogan: `Its a wheelbase thing' ?

any other takers on the obvious stab in the face of all those tiny jeepers who think they can take those gokarts of thiers everywhere, but generaly either roll, or don't leave pavement...

-Rich

totally agree about the slogan! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif /forums/images/icons/cool.gif most people don't understand.

WORKS FOR ME! /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Count me in! I'll be looking into paying membership dues very soon....


"CK5 SUB-CULTURE" /forums/images/icons/cool.gif

well i'm checking on a logo with the guy that does the ck5 logos. looks like we'll have stickers soon soon /forums/images/icons/smile.gif /forums/images/icons/smile.gif /forums/images/icons/cool.gif

You can definitely count on me and I want some CK5 SUB CULTURE logo stickers when they come available...I'm paying my member dues on the 19th when I get paid /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

yeah i'm gonna see if we can have round logos like the ck5 ones. then i'll order 2 of them, 2 ck5 ones and have some made up for vegas kids off-road. then i'll look important. /forums/images/icons/cool.gif

That'll be like me
CK5 logo
SUB CULTURE logo and
OBH (Oregon BushHackers) /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

THEY NEED TO BE A GOOD SIZE SO WE CAN PUT THEM ON THE FRONT FENDERS BEHIND THE WHEEL WELL LIKE THE JEEPS DO. I THINK THAT LOOKS TIGHT. I DON'T HAVE THE FACTOR EMBLEM THERE SO IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IT BELONGS. GONNA GET MY MEMBERSHIP SOON TOO. /forums/images/icons/smirk.gif

Yep, American Flags replace my fender badges

how about 6"?

6" Diameter is the perfect size

cool /forums/images/icons/cool.gif

Great idea!

/forums/images/icons/grin.gif

I think a giant `window etching' sticker would look cool... you know, the semi-translucent stickers that you put on windows to make it look like its been etched? I've got a Crappy `FOX' sticker I need to peel off my tailgate window ( previous owner put it on, and I want it gone) and I'd love to replace it with a giant `CK5 Sub-Culture' banner or something... the 6 inch stickers should be cool too, stuck on the fender to mock the lil jeepers... I still have my fender emblems, and want to try and figgure out a way to work the logo into the emblem... wether its I knock the emblems off, put the sticker on, then replace the emblems, or something like that, I dunno...

oh well, something to think about I suppose,

-Rich

hmmmm... never thought about the etching thing, sounds cool though.

yeah, usually you see little cutsie things like roses, or pony's done in it... the only problem I'd have with it, is my deep tinted rear window's wouldn't look right if I plastered it on them... of course, being deep tinted, white lettering ought to look pretty dang cool on the black background...

-Rich

I think if you add an extra set of doors the sticker might end up being oval instead of round, which wouldn't be bad either. I've been slacking when if comes to getting the "It's a Wheelbase Thing" stickers made. Everytime I got to and event where there's a lot of jeeps I kick myself for not having the sticker on the back window yet.

Count me in! I am not around much, and have had to put mods and major stuff on the back burner for awhile, but i like the sound of burban club!

THE ONLY DRAW BACK I SEE THE THE WINDOW THING IS ON BARN DOORS IT WOULDN'T LOOK TOO GOOD. NOT ONLY THAT IF YOU'VE EVER WHEELED AT NIGHT WITH TINTED GLASS OR EVEN CLEAR FOR THAT MATTER THESE THINGS ARE A PAIN TO SEE BEHIND IN BACKING SITUATIONS. REAR FLOOD LIGHTS INCLUDED. /forums/images/icons/frown.gif I WAS TEMPTED TO PUT IN ONE OF THOSE RV CAMERAS THEY GOT FOR REAR VIEW MIRRORS. /forums/images/icons/cool.gif I THINK THE FENDER STICKER WOULD BE THE BEST. EVEN WITH ANOTHER DOOR THE STICKER SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO BE ROUND. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

i talked to jeff427, yall wanted big right? i asked him about a 36"x10" and it would be about $20 a piece! that's too much for one sticker! so if we get big banner stickers what size would we want them? http://coloradok5.com/albums/albun07/abj.sized.jpg i was thinking about the size of my big procomp sticker it's 32" by about 6".

Count me in for two stickers /forums/images/icons/grin.gif /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

I THINK A 8INCH ROUND FOR THE FENDER(I'LL BUY FOR SURE) AND THE PRO COMP STICK IS A GOOD SIZE FOR THE WINDSHIELD BANNER. I HAVE THE SAME STICKER ON MY WINDSHIELD AND IT CLEARS THE WIPERS SOME WHAT, PERHAPS ALITTLE SMALLER OR NARROWER UP AND DOWN. OTHERWISE THE WIPERS WILL TEAR IT AFTER A WHILE. ANY IDEAS FOR BARNDOORS YET? ANYONE????? /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

I have a sollution for barn doors... tear them off, and replace them with a tailgate!

J/k :-P

not really... :-P

J/k...

or am I...

I am....

not...

J/k...

what you could do is get the large lettering stickers, cut in half, so you have CK5 SUB on one door, and CULTURE on the other ( make sure to get those in the right order... otherwise Culture CK5 SUB might come out of it..)

-Rich

Don't make fun of the barn doors. Sometimes I wish I had those instead of the tailgate. It's hard to climb up there and open that dang thing! I couldn't imagine putting gear in the back of a sub with barn doors like I do with mine either.

I'll agree barn doors have thier places, and on a lifted suburban, they make more sense... the tailgate on mine comes almost up to my chest when I drop it, and I'm reasonably tall... I just can't stand that giant central blindspot called the door pillars that they come with. I also like the power tailgate option that lets me put the gate down for freeflow air ventalation at speed...

on the other hand, with a tailgate, you can pack them tighter without fear of having the entire thing puke out the back when you open a door... you've also got a convenient seat to have a Tailgate Party on, or enjoy lunch, or hold tools you pull out of the back, etc...

-Rich

NOW BE NICE. /forums/images/icons/frown.gif BARN DOORS ARE NICE AND THE "BLIND" SPOT IS IRRELIVENT ONCE YOU LIFT A GOOD HEIGTH THEN THE WHOLE BACK IS A BLIND SPOT. /forums/images/icons/mad.gif AS FOR LOADING AND STUFF I CAN USE MY DROP HITCH AS A STEP AND I CAN LEAVE ONE DOOR CLOSED AND PACK TO THE ROOF. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif AND WITH MY NIFTY DOOR RELEASE I CAN USE IT AS AN ALTERNET DOOR FOR THIRD SEAT PEOPLE. /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif AND I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE STUPID POWER WINDOW FAILING. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif LOL /forums/images/icons/cool.gif

I second the Barn doors thing...
I don't post much but I am here quite a bit. It is about time the Suburban guys showed some pride!! /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

CK5 SUB-culture

Yeah...I could go for the Suburban club thing too. /forums/images/icons/cool.gif

This is a great idea. Should have thought of it sooner.

Sounds like a winning idea to me! /forums/images/icons/cool.gif We really need to get the respect we deserve! (And all the lift and flex we can get! /forums/images/icons/wink.gif )

last year, I gained some respect from the arizona people in my 73 K20... took it with them on a moderate trail... took me almost no effort to go anywhere they did. I also bombed up some `impossible hill' that jeepers couldn't make, because thier wheelbase was too short to go over the bumps right... I also did it in 2wd...

oh well, I love my truck, and always tell jeepers `when you break down, we can pick that up, and put it in the back... aircondition it for the trip home'

-Rich

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL! GOTTA PUT THAT ON A BUMPER STICKER. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

count me in! all I own is the long wheelbase.

Marc

Count me in for SUB-CULTURE. I think its a geat idea. People often forget about burbs
eventhough, WE ARE a class of our own


/forums/images/icons/cool.gif

I don't get in here much anymore, but you can count me in as well. It is good to see this forum pick up a little speed. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Does this pretty much sum up this group? http://coloradok5.com/photos/data/505/5842ck52-thumb.jpg

I'm all for the Sub Club......size matters!

As for the barn doors...I was in favor of them until I bought a Burby with them. I wanted a Sub with barn doors over tailgate, because everyone I know with a Burby or Blazer, the power window doesn't work, or they have broke the window off road.

Well then my Burby came with barn doors, that are in bad shape.....really bad. I priced new ones and they $699 each. Now I wish I had a tailgate. I only paid $1500 for the truck, I don't need two doors costing as much as the truck.

I'm in I would get a couple stickers also. I'm starting to run out of room on the barn door windows. Time to switch to a tailgate.
