Hello everyone. I joined the site this week and already seem addicted. It nice to see everyone helping out their fellow enthusiast. My current project is an 04 Suburban with a little lift, some tires and wheels and a few other goodies. Im open to criticisms and ideas of all kinds. My rig is used mostly to travel back and forth from my home to my lake house (about 85 miles one way), my hunting lease is only a couple miles from my lake house so it gets beat around in the piney woods of east Texas a lot. My future plans are:
Winch
Roof rack
engine tuned
and stuff it full of as much gear as it will hold
The back story is pretty interesting too. My Father in law bought it at an auction in 07. It was bone stock, loaded (sunroof, leather dvd player etc) and only about 50-60k. He added the lift tires wheels, camo wrap, gun rack, push bar, winch, remote spotlight, basically a redneck hunters dream. He left the suburban in his shop at the lake (we hunt on the same land) he used it solely to get from the lake house to the deer lease 4-5 miles. in trying to keep this short I will say it stayed in his shop 90% of the time with a 200#corn feeder on it. Rats chewed wires out of it from engine to the fuel tank (trans included). Being the impulsive and generous person he is, he goes to town, buys a new 4door jeep does all the same stuff to it. He got me to help him swap the winch from the burb to the jeep then threw me the keys and said "if you want to fix her, shes yours. come by the house and get the title. You can use my truck and trailer to get it to the shop)
Needless to say I was shocked. That was almost a year ago and after $2500 shes been running great! I plan on equipping her to be an "adventure rig" Thanks for taking the time to read all this. ill be posting pics of little projects im doing.
Thanks,
Brady
