Have you ever taken a trail-only rig and transformed it into a overland/expo style vehicle? Essentially taking a "wild to mild" approach?
I have an opportunity to buy a heavily modified suburban with a 6.2 diesel, full turbo setup...
Has 6" lift, 20"wheels with 37" tires, built bumper, 12K winch, roof rack, viair, etc, etc
The problem is, I never really know how any of this stuff was put together. Most of the wiring is a mess. The owner didn't want to fix electrical issues as they came up, so he wired around them, etc
So, this is really a hypothetical question.
- Do you take the plunge and buy a vehicle because it has most of the goodies you would put on anyway and trade off time in re-wiring, de-modding
- Do you pay extra$ and spend less time
The camo is a vinyl wrap. Easy to take off. Blue with and white underneath.
I know, to each his own. What would you do?
Discuss.
