At the end of the day i think it comes down to waht you are most comfortable with. I'm part of the group you described as the guys that love their big GM SUVs. i have a 2004 suburban with 180k miles. Ive had it since 2007 with 46k miles. It has been nearly bulletproof. The only things i...

im on my second suburban, both 2004 half tons, the first one was stolen, second one replaced it. My first one (Z71) took me lots of places and impressed me. My current one has been great as well. The two priorities for me are comfort and capacity. My wife and i have four teenagers and we...

We have a coleman 10'x14' instant tent that we have used several times. It will fit three of the oversized cots without too much trouble. The one thing I will say is how quickly a cot (especially if its an oversized one) eats up real estate. in ours, there is not much room left after the...

Here's my two cents...it's not the people capacity but the gear capacity that becomes the issue. I say this as a dad/husband with four kids. We have gone through the evolution from a mid 90s wrangler, to mini-vans, to Tahoes and now an 01 Astro (2wd) and an 04 Suburban (4wd). When we do our...

i had an 03 yukon and got an 04 suburban after the yukon was totaled in an accident. Love both vehicles but my preference is the suburban hands down, for the room behind the third row. good luck with your new suburban!

i know michelin wasn't listed in your OP but since we drive similar vehicles I will add my two cents for what it's worth. I drive a z71 suburban and got 80k miles on a set of LTX A/T II (size 265/70r17), mainly paved but some dirt, mild 2wd/4wd roads & off-road. i probably had another 3-5k...

Hey Mikey....that's a bummer that it turned out to be too big, but at least it will still get used...thx for the update!

especially not for the $110k the dealership was asking for it. They state work was done by a GM approved aftermarket accessories installer so it's still considered new still. Seems like a lot of $$

Ran across this one online today...it's not mine, just thought I'd share... Enjoy, Mark

What About This? i actually looked at these this weekend and while a FAK is not what they are intended for, it might not be a bad vessel for what you are looking for. Lots of outside pockets, deep primary pocket, and although it's soft-sided, it retains it's shape (16x12x8) so it might be...

not even just a little bit?

i have had a suburban for 5 yrs now and it is probably the best vehicle i could have picked for my family (wife + 4 kids). hauls tons of gear and still hauls us in comfort. you wont regret it if you go that route. Edited to add: mine is a Z71 (2004). Biggest plus for me with the Z71 trim...

Ggreat thread, Derek - i read through all 14 pages tonight! I look forward to seeing more updates as they come...

Great Knives I have a BK2 & BK7. both are great knives but the BK2 is really a brute of a knife. I saw one thread on a different forum where a guy used it (among other things) as can opener on an old car hood.

Whether you stay or not is your choice but your statement above is simply not true. I went back and looked at the other posts you have made to various threads since you joined and several of your posts received thoughtful replies from other members.

...what rover said...we have four kids 10yo though 16yo and our '04 Z71 suburban has worked out perfectly for us. A previous poster is right about three kids across the second row - not a good arrangement for anything longer than a short trip in town...My brother in law has a 80 series LC and...

i completely agree with KTM. My wife and I have four kids, aged 10 -16 and our 04 Z71 suburban has been wonderful. we have owned it for nearly five years and it has been, by far, the best vehicle for our family. We have had mini vans, smaller SUVs, full sized trucks, as well as a tahoe prior...
