Another Suburban for me

And not my first. My wife's daily driver is a 2009 GMC Denali XL, my daily driver is a 2013 Suburban 2500 4x4, and I've been fixing up a 1971 Suburban 4x4 for the past year or so.



A seller near me has been trying to sell his 35k-mile 1991 V1500 Suburban 4x4, so I went to look at it. Loved it; near showroom condition. I originally passed on it, and then spent two weeks thinking about it while I took a vacation. When I came back, I said "screw it" and bought it at a high price, but way lower than his asking.

An old man in Victoria, Texas bought it, put then 34k miles on it from 1991 to 2012 - always garaged. The next owner bought it from his estate, but then rarely drove it - always garaged again. Now I have it. This is how it was when I bought it:



Those white-wall tires are the original factory set from 1991. So I drove directly from the Seller's house to Discount Tire where I had 31" BFGs put on and they were nice enough to remove the fiberglass running boards.









It's heavily optioned, comes with all the original books, interior is about perfect, engine bay has never been cleaned, and it drives tight without any squeaks. I plan on leaving it alone for the most part - needs speakers, an iPhone hookup, and tint windows. I plan on using it as a semi-daily driver alongside my 2013.

The 1971 Suburban 4x4 is now for sale; has to be because I have no more space.
