lookin for a new rig

[Roostercruiser]

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 . :confused:

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

[Fordguy77]

Hey roland what happened to the burb?

[Roostercruiser]

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.

[southpaws3]

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

[Jackie]

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!

Stick with the truck you like Roland, ditch the memories but the the brand! ;)

[KnuckleHead]

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.

[Hypoid]

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

[Funrover]

I'll keep my eyes/ears open man.

[scout 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!! :D

[Roostercruiser]

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]

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.

[Fordguy77]

Just looked for a scout travler as i had never heard of it or seen one. i found one on CL thats real rough but all there it seems http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/1940330084.html

[scout man]

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.

oooooh, i like that first one. The red one. That thing looks nice!!

You never see anyone wheeling a travel all, so it would be pretty unique, yet crosses parts with scouts and stuff, so easy to work with i would think. Down side is that HUGE ass on those things. You would need to lift it pretty high to maintain good clearances, but that is your style isnt it roland?!?! :D

[Fordguy77]

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.

[Roostercruiser]

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.

[scout man]

do it!!

[Funrover]

TRAVELALL!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!! I love those rigs, and they are super easy to work on. You would only have 1 problem.... I would bother you all the time hahahaha

[Roostercruiser]

Its a toss up , i found a 77 travallall for $700 , but not sure if i want a carb again, i got used to FI.

[WINKY]

so why not put that $700 into the burban? if you get another vehicle, your going to be starting fresh and dumping alot of money into it. if i were you, id either dump money into the burb or get something newer like that excursion with power stroke and then it would be worthwhile with a lift and 35's.

But its just a thought.

[colomil]

Of course you know my advice: Get a vortec 3/4 ton burb and SAS it! :D

[Chris]

It's not the burb he has issues with Randy, it's memories that stay with it. ;)

[transplant87]

Or u can loo at a bronco metropalton there about as big as a burb but they are rare and hard to find cheap.

[Fordguy77]

The thing i love most about the ranger is the EFI, But everything else i have ever owned has been carbed, its not so bad, just carry starter fluid!!!

[WINKY]

It's not the burb he has issues with Randy, it's memories that stay with it. ;)

ahh ok i got it. then i agree, get something else!

[Roostercruiser]

ill really start lookin at end of year , by thenn. Ill have 6-7k saved up and see whats availble, then sell the burb.

there are plenty burbs for cheap out there, not sure exactly what your looking for though...

[Roostercruiser]

Thanks for the links ,

[Roostercruiser]

I just saw a wicked burban tonite my next truk is another burban, this one wwsnt for sale but gave me alot of ideas, it even had 1/2 doors like what steve did to his scout on all four doors. Cant wait

[Roostercruiser]

Who am i kiddin the more i look at other trucks the less i want to get rid of my truck. I found a 5 speed and new t case, ill put a new lift , new tires , still cheaper than buying a new rig.

[southpaws3]

rooster we found one in moab .(5000.00) all tubed w/ full storage rack,winch,lockers,tbi350,60infrt4.56,14inrear4.56 ,tinted windows,w/backseats, white,

[Smash]

That sounds like a great decision Roland! Mine's still sitting unhappily in the storage yard. Maybe this winter will have $ to fix the engine and new suspension. I have no plans or desire to get rid of it!

[scout man]

I see that you have now changed your mind... but thought I would still post this for you anyways roland. Could be a pretty sweet rig, and sounds like room for the fam.

[Roostercruiser]

i contacted Pep Boys and they Qouated me $700 to replace all balljoints and tie rod. and $200 for new winch cable from High Country Perfprmance, and $14 for new tranny mount . now im looking for another tranfercase cus mine leaks like the Exxon Valdese now. and the fliud on the ground is really sparkly with metal shavings. but right now im having a hard time working on it cus i have my kids all the time and cant watch them and fix my centering pin at the same time . if i can change out the centreing pin i can atleast drive it. but its hard to make time right now.

[KnuckleHead]

What t-case are you looking for?

[Roostercruiser]

i have a 208 in it right now

[KnuckleHead]

I know someone with a 208.... i can see if they want to sell it for you....

He said $100

[Jackie]

but right now im having a hard time working on it cus i have my kids all the time and cant watch them and fix my centering pin at the same time . if i can change out the centreing pin i can atleast drive it. but its hard to make time right now.

How long does it take to fix that? Maybe we can work out a "play date" and I can take your kids to play with my little Annika for a while so you can get it done. (You met me and Annika on the Devils Canyon clean up run. Our girls got along great)!
