Decked out: Glenn Decker's trail-prepped GMC Jimmy

摘要

AS IF OFTEN TYPICAL IN OFF-ROADING, EACH WHEELING TRIP THAT GLENN DECKER TOOK IN HIS '89 GMC JIMMY WAS the catalyst for upgrades. A couple of axles here, a new transmission there, and pretty soon there were upgrade everywhere. But Decker, a stay-at-home dad/stereo system fabricator from Rancho Cucamohga, California, kept buildup costs down by sourcing many used parts. For example, he found a used Offroad Design Doubler for sale on an Internet site and a set of used 42-inch Swampers on double beadlock wheels for sale in Arizona. Also as is typical, the Jimmy is an ongoing project. Decker says he plans to add an ARB Air Locker to the front differential, PSC hydro-assist steering, and possibly a four-link front suspension. We found Decker prowling around the southern California desert and we were impressed at his work thus far and his dedication to wheeling a fullsize rig. Decker has done a great job of decking out his rig.
