Hello everyone!
I have been enjoying reading through these forums, doing research in preparation for turning in my current lease vehicle (2018 Dodge Durango) and finding and modding an older fullsize truck for use as a daily driver/overlanding/recreation vehicle. For some time I had planned on going with a Suburban, as 4WD vans are just too expensive and hard to find.
As luck would have it, I just found a deal too good to pass up, so I figured now was a good time to stop lurking and start posting. So, here is my new project vehicle:
Its a 1999 GMC K2500 SLT with a 454, loaded to the hilt. The RPO sticker is full of all the desirable goodies. It's in pretty good shape inside and out, just a few issues to resolve and some parts to upgrade. Only has 122k original miles, I am the third owner. Practically no rust, which is a miracle here in Pennsylvania. Found it about 25 miles from me. Here's the best part: I got it for $1200.
Plenty of budget left to do what I want.
Anyway, I just had to share my happiness at finding this rig. Now the fun begins!
Looking forward to getting more involved with the forums. I'm sure I will have some questions, and I hope to be able to share some knowledge I have learned over the past 35+ years of offroading and working on other vehicles.
