I don’t think I have any pictures of it, but this is what I have:
3/4 ’87 Suburban (Fuel Injected 350 with 3L80 = (Trubo 400)) lifted 4” with 305-70-16s. The interior is clean with no rips or tears and it was painted about 10 years ago.
I can put the three dogs in it plus kennels, three kids, and gear, and I can pull either my camper or the tandem axle trailer with the K5 trail rig or ATVs for the whole family.
I paid $1,500 for the Suburban, $200 for the wheels and tires, and nothing for the lift...had it thrown in on a different purchase.
Maintenance costs in five years = $100 for a battery, $30 for a power steering pump, and $50 for a new exhaust pipe. Oh, I paid $200 for a sheered bolt on the steering knuckle. Not bad…less than a $100 per year average. When the engine goes, I can build one blind folded, or I can throw a Cummins 5.9 24v in it. When I drive down that narrow trail with the branches scrapping the sides…I don’t care and I have fun.
MPG is not great (12-14 empty) (8-10 w/ trailer). Although, I only use it when needed.
