Superu
Explorer
It's going to be time to replace the old minivan in the next year so I'm looking at my options since my 3 sons aren't getting any smaller. Trips under a 1000 miles are fine in the Superu, but for longer outings I'm gonna need something with more room.
After looking at a lot of options for less than 10 grand, I'm really leaning heavily towards a Suburban. I figure with the quad captain seats and the third row, there'll be plenty of room for the 5 of us as well as my Engel MT45 and camping gear.
I know the 01+ models have IFS but I'm not planning on any serious rock crawling or trails calling for major articulation.
I'd like to eventually build something up to include an Ezi-Awn 2200, winch bumper, sliders and rear bumper to carry fuel, water and spare tire and a mild lift maybe 3" or 4".
I'd love to hear from others about availability of build components as well as things to look out for going down this path.
Thanks,
Bill
