I have a first gen and love it. Very reliable and quite capable. What is your budget? If you have enough the second gen (05+) has more power and better gas mileage and can be had with a rear locker. The second gens can fit 33s stock. They also have a larger aftermarket. Nothing wrong with...

Beefy!

I was stuck in St John New Brunswick for a couple extra nights in 2012 when the transfer case rear bearing and seal went on my work Suburban. I always feel bad complaining about cold, nothing compared to what you guys get all winter. That type of cold just isnt good for anything except polar...

Sums up exactly how I feel, especially one like this where it would likely be subjected to less than stellar conditions most of the remainder of its life.

As expected the block heater made it much easier to fire up. It was only -15oC last night, my scan gauge read a coolant temperature of +22oC. Fired right up, almost better than summer! Its something I will have to do more often on colder nights, much easier on the truck

Very nice shape, I like the Safari High Top, would feel like a cathedral inside with all that headroom

yup, The idea is that it has a slight rake unloaded so when you load it up, it isn't squatting out back Slight forward rake also has some slight benefits for fuel economy/drag

very forward thinking, love seeing old tech like this

Just plugged her in, we will see come morning

It has a factory one, I just haven't used it yet. I will plug her in tonight and report back in the morning.

no synthetic oil, just whatever 10W 30, I have a block heater but have never plugged it in, its the same crap battery It came with two years ago Canadian Trucks are just tougher, that's all :REOutIceFishing:

I meant on their end, not yours

Its pretty cold here this morning, my scan-gauge said my engine coolant was -25oC (-13oF) !! With windchill its -40oC (-40oF) The truck started (barely) and didnt want to do anything, I just pulled it out of the driveway so I could do garbage and clean the snow off my wifes car and it didnt...

drive side by side with stioc and stick your head out the window? haha I never did, and would make the set probably last 125, 000 + kms likely, but I never had space for the full size spare under my Xterra. The '00 and '01 came with smaller tires compared to '02,'03 and '04 so the spare well...

I would agree on both of these, the explorers might be a little small but a bulletproof drive-train and you cant go wrong with any Suburban's

Luckily mine is always hot, however like you said not designed to be running a fridge for long time periods, I will just have to keep an eye on it when I get it

Strictly speaking by the Math 255/80 R17 is 33.06" Tall 255/85 R16 is 33.07" Tall

Most of this size are a half inch taller. 32.8 is usually what a 285 70 R 17 measures out to, typo maybe?

I haven't seen anyone running either of those, it looks like ey are fairly dated tread designs but are probably literally as tough as nails. Availability might be an issue as well Interested to hear others weigh in.

That's about as close as you can get, cooper might make a couple treads in that size also ? 285 75 R17 is 34x 11.2 as well, might not be tall enough though.
