Hi Portal family,
Behold a very rare, very unique camper rig. It goes without saying that there is a different tool for every job, and possibly a different vehicle for everyone's needs, but without a doubt if what you see here is what you want, you will most likely never see another one like it. If you want the daily drivability of a modern SUV, easy access to the living area compared to a truck bed camper, and off-road performance combined with a solid 4x4 system this may be for you.
Chassis: 2009 Chevrolet Suburban

Known issues:
- Fender bender fully repaired by Geico and subsequently scratched while parked in a lot. (see the front left corner of the bumper)
- Front right headlight needs to be polished.
- Tire rubs UCA at full full lock only. Typically I avoid full lock regardless so it is not an issue for me.
