lookin for a new rig

September 5th, 2010

Im pretty much done with the burban, i m gonna savr $ this winter and buy another burban . haku got me thinking about a 90 's burban and using my rig for the SAS swap on it. Or buy a late 80's burban again. But this time make sure everything works. Hopefully i ll take my time and find the perfect one. sincr the divorce its been reallyneasy saving money. Any thoughts on another type of rig? Im open to suggestions. I want to camp out of it and be able to pull a trailer if needed. Ive found alot of cheap k-5's . But not sure about how small thry r. I really like the 80 body style burbans .

A suburban is a lot of truck. Is there a reason you want to stick with one?

Hey roland what happened to the burb?

September 5th, 2010

i love burbs, i likr the fact i can use it as a camper. I still have the burb it runs. the biggest thing is theres too many memories with it. I started a new life and the still has old mrmories with it. Sounds korney i know.

get a sub between 90-96 parts and goodies are cheap plus get too new and the aftermarket goodies(sensors,and streetable )get pricey plus you have a big family so the motorized tent is always kid friendly,plus your kids are growing and the sub is big/cheap enough for your family to tow toys behind plus your memories are not korney that is what makes us who we are ....best wishes good luck

I love the Korn!

I'd advise you to get a Jeep, but... You love the the Suburbans, so get what you want!!! With kids, you gatta love it... and next time we meet, I swear to keep my back seat in so your kids can safely ride with me if they want to!

If you want to camp out the back of it I to would stay with the Burb. The K5 is nice if there is only 2 people, and not a lot of gear. You can always take out the back seat for more room but then that leaves nowhere for the kids to sit.

That makes perfect sense to me Rollie! Good luck with your search.

I'll keep my eyes/ears open man.

Hey roland... youve been in the IH family before, you should pick up a traveller or a travel-all!! Lift it to the size of that burban, you could throw the hole family in... sounds fun to me!!

Steve, thats what im thinkjing also, i was telling my co driver i dont know if i want an IH or burban but i found a travelall for $700 .im in no big hurry , i just need to replace the center pin for now it will get me through wjnter.Ive seen some really nice built scouts for $4000. cuz i really do miss my scout.

**scout man** · September 8th, 2010

yea, you can get some real nice scouts lately for around that price. I was suggesting one of the bigger IH models just because you are used to such a huge rig. Honestly, I love the size of my scout, but do find myself running out of room with just the fiance, the puppy, and myself and all my crap. Granted, I do carry a LOT of crap. Also, scouts arent really so great for sleeping in. I suppose you could flip up the rear seat and sleep on the floor, but then you cant really haul anything with you, or have to dump it all out at night.

I was thinking a traveler, although not quite as good for wheeling, gives you some more rear cargo room, and a lot of people put a third row of seats in them. But here you sacrifice departure angle for more space inside. I dont know a lot about the travel-alls, but that seems more like the IH version of a suburban to me, so maybe more what you are used to having.

yea, but he is asking WAY too much for that. My scout was $800 and I drove it home, passed emissions, and tagged it without having to do any work to it. This arent really as rare as the guy thinks they are.

Yup i really like that red one, and if i was in the market for another Vehicle and interested in a IH that'd be my pick too.

September 8th, 2010

Yeah , i paid $375 for my scout and drovr it home a passed emissions with flying colors. Put a new rag joint in and spent $1000 on a soft top. It even came with brand new 31's on and a bikini top and a hard tOp,. I'm used tO having 20 feet Of trukck after my bakck rtires, hahahaha ,. I kcOuld put my rack on a travall all. idvturn around a sell my burb and buy upgrades.
