May '17 I was driving a '00 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and having a good time with it, but missing the size and comfort of the Suburban. The Jeep needed some work done that I was lacking the motivation to do, because it wasn't a Suburban. Hop on the internet classifieds and found this '99 2500 Suburban that was on the last day of it's listing. Quick phone call to the owner and I find out he has a local wrecking yard that is 2 days late on their schedule to pick it up for $500. I told him I would give him $550 if he would call them off and I would be there the following afternoon to pick it up. I make a quick scramble with my out of commission trailer to get it ready, and head out early the next morning. 300 miles and a few little issues with trailer lights and I'm at dudes house to load her up. As I'm loading, the wrecking company shows up to try to talk the guy into letting them still have it. After a heated argument with the yard owner, the seller turns to me and says "It's already on your trailer, it's yours for $400!" SOLD! Yard owner pissed, me very happy! I will try to remember all the things I have done to it in the last year and a half and add pics as I can to each post. Most of my writing is done at work where I'm killing time for the government, so I'll have to add pics when I get time on my home computer.
