well I have owned both and I poersonally would go witht he gwagen. It is a lot easier to handle on the road and trail due to its shorter length.

The trail isent where this rig will spend much time. I have a jeep for that. What I need is a rig that can get pepole in and there stuff for a day of hunting fishing what ever. Honestly we dont even need a 4x4 a 2wd would do it but that aint my style.

Hey

Take the Suburban, much more aftermarket stuff for it, junkyards will have more chevy/GMC parts due to commonality with the pickups, LMC has interior stuff, everyone has the 350/454 engine parts covered and the motor is easier to upgrade, and since they are bigger, you can haul more stuff. Older Sub with a 6in. lift and 35's with lockers, awesome. Just my thought.

NICE... that TF727 is about as good an Auto as they come, I lovesd my built 727 in my 69 Dart. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

its been a while finaly got the wagg home.

I'll post up pics when the wife gets back.

I picked it up thursday. There where some small issues i needed to attend to right away. Such as the leaking valve couvers and ingnition cutting out. Friday brought it in the shop at work to do the genral new rig stuff. Started with the valve couver gaskets and a little desmogging. Now she dosent leak and runs much better.

Today in between the rain im working on a brushguard and winch mount. As soon as my yj is finished ill preform the SOA an reversal.
