The time has come in my family's life to say goodbye to our Suburban. It was fun, it was stressful, it will be missed when it goes.
I've been working on it too much lately, and since we are towing a cool little tent trailer, the small block 350 (even as powerful as it is) was lacking in uphill ability for my tastes. Solution?
Four door, four wheel drive, short bed, 1-ton of fun. And, 7.3 liter Powerstroke. That might get our trailer uphill!
Plans for the new rig? I really don't want to go overboard with lift, tuners, whathaveyou. It's getting a new set of BFG A/T's tomorrow, and will be getting a leveling kit for the front. Whether we keep our little Starcraft, or upgrade to a 10-foot unit, I think we'll be fine. There is a little talk of a 4-wheel type camper, but I like the idea of a trailer still. Camper shell, maybe; for keeping our stuff dry and clean-ish.
I need to get my Kenwood dual-band radio out of the Suburban, and installed in the new truck. I am not sure if I can cleanly install the Lowrance GPS in the Ford though, so it may go with the Suburban. It looks at home on that dash.
More to come. Taking it out with the Starcraft this weekend (although, it's only to KOA).
