That is some serious bull bar!
Congrats on the new Burb, I miss my 90 GMC 3/4 ton square Burb. My family has gone many a mile in our various square body Burbs....got to where we couldn't find good ones in the Houston, Texas area that were still good runners, so we got a 400 Burb in 2005. Replaced it in 2013 with the current one; it's still chugging along with 203,000 miles, just did a loaded run to a swap meet outta town last weekend. Did a great job, barely knew it was loaded. Gassed up before the trip(150 miles round trip) and that trip plus driving all around Houston for work all week, in traffic a lot of the time, and we got 12.3 mpg according to my calculations upon filling up today.
No, it is not.
It looks tough, but **** me backwards with a telephone pole if I ever rammed anything with it, the mounting was just stupid, upside was brackets on the grille and at the bottom it was bolted through the bumper...

I believe ya, I've fallen in love with this thing, the way it drives and all. Haven't got to counting reliable MPG's yet though, because there's some funny business going on... I don't trust neither of the counters, not the ODO nor the trip, I can't tell for sure which one is ****** or if it's both of them
The trip counter can't be reset, so that's at least partly broken, but then again the ODO is showing questionable numbers too
Time will tell I guess, gotta start counting when I get it back on the road.
What I mean by that is that she's been off the road for the better part of the last couple months. Sprung a coolant leak and when I got to fixing it, things didn't go as planned. On the way there the alternator belt jumped off and got close and personal with the fan, which then ended up in the belt taking a chunk out of the lower waterhose and creating more problems.

It took me literally a day to get the radiator out and find the leak, which was the upper corner, frontmost pipe on the driver side. Of course it couldn't be a hole, sumbithc had been torn from the seam...

Since soldering it would've melted the sidetanks gasket (at the very least), we decided to tackle it with a kind of a liquid metal or whatever, which held! But we didn't smear in enough of it, or then the fix was so good, the next weak link revealed itself, and as such we still have a leak, now from the lower pipe. **** it, it's not as bad so we'll just go with it as I can't afford not to mention find a radiator atm. A one I found costs ~560€ and has to be special ordered, so to hell with that for now. I want to verbally abuse the stupid original owner who ordered it with the fancier radiator with both, motor and tranny oil coolers, but I know I'd have 100% done the exact same thing so I guess I'll just shut up

After that I shoved her in the garage, as my re-registration plans have been halted several times, but now a light is shining at the end of the tunnel - For a mere ~280€ of bureaucracy and ******** I can finally have the documentation I need to prove to the local authorities that this really is a 8,600lb GVWR vehicle. Also it's gonna take from 2-4 weeks to arrive... yeey... Welp, beggars can't go around choosing, so the wait begins. Again. I'll keep y'all updated if I remember.
