Tahoe on steroids I picked this up about three weeks ago it's a very rare 2008. Has 6.2 6 speed Like a Denali.

One of the few hundred made with Sedona brown interior only has 81,000 miles. Riding on 35's, it's a luxury version with every factory option.

Hard to find low mileage H2s. If we didn’t need the seating of a sub. I was going to go this route with a dmax swap.

That 12v ramcharmmins needs a thread of its own!

Haha, Ramcharmmins! I like to call it the Cumcharger.
Ive been saying I was going to start a thread since I started building it...but I always forget. One day I will. I have about 1K miles on it now with no issues, next up is paint/suspension/tires and wheels.

If you get around to it that would be awesome. I’ve really been kicking around the idea of 12v’ing my Excursion as my big project for winter ‘19.

That would probably work well.... If all 3 kids weren't in car seats. Can't fold the seats down with them strapped in.

Gotcha. we usually put 2 on the double side and one behind the power seat. That way push the button get to the kid in back row and adults could get in and out also.

If we have 3 in our Yukon now that's what we do. It's just still a pain to climb back there and buckle them in and all. Plus, the Captain's chairs keep the space between the 2 so since 1 will be rear facing and 1 forward facing, they can't mess with each other. Lol! Makes 3 + hour drives much more sane with the separation.

Probably will tow pretty nice. I wish ours had the bigger motor, for now we are limping along with a 5.3. :)

UCH is a 24 6 Howard custom cruiser is prolly around the same weight.

you yuppies with your stock subs and T's. :p:D id rather roll one of these all day long, maybe not as luxurious, but at least, I can find it in the parking lot. easy in and out and plenty of cargo space. to bad they don't make them anymore. :(

I was shocked at how well mine towed.

Our pre runner is probably pushing 5k lbs. and the car hauler is probably 2k by itself. We had no issues towing with the 6.2

I know you posted the pic of a ford van but
I was ordering a 2018 chevy express and going through the options list and you can absolutely still get a quigley conversion on the express. I do believe it was an extra $10k.

I have a 2006 chevy express all wheel drive in my fleet and it is a tank!

Here is our second suburban taken a few years back in mammoth. First suburban was a 02 z71 that got in a bad accident years back.

08 suburban Ltz, nothing else added.

I wish I had a picture after it has gone on a hunting trip. I still freak out seeing it all scratched up after they take it hunting, only to have it detailed to make it look new again. 110,000 miles. Mostly up the 395 or the 40. Runs great, prob time for front shocks though.

Have you priced a ticket recently? :)

Baller.

Not really. Just good trade timing, good credit, and good financing. My payments on the 2016 are within about $50 bucks of what they were with the 2004.

I've owned my van for about 3 years now. I'll never buy another truck.

Ford 4x4 Van conversions. These guys do sick work! And RVs also.


http://www.ujointoffroad.com/ujor4x4vanbuilds.html

yes those guys build some bad ass vans. I was thinking having my Class c converted to 4x4. but then I looked at my wallet.:D
I actually was going to build a new van a few years ago with a u-joint build. brand new Ford e350 v10. van was 40k new. all done up u-joint build around 70k. not bad for a decked out van, with bumpers, ladder, rack. all the bells and whistles. same as new sub. stock.

Just Traded in our white one for a black one last week. White one was a ‘15 but had 125k mikes and had been giving us a ton of issues since it hit 100k. We live in town and not out in the country now though so this one should last us a lot longer.

Wife wanted black this time. Dropped it off for a leveling kit and to black out all the chrome today.

Not leaving it Mustang green?
You're right! It is Mustang Green! Damnit, now I hate the color even more lol.
Trying to decide between Victory red or a little bit deeper red like Boyd Red.
Can't find anything about Boyd Red online though other than old pics or old articles mentioning it. I know its a Dupont code but cant find it.
