I feel like the Jeeps are on the wrong trailers, given @CasterTroy infatuation with a particular shade.

I've got a question to throw in this thread even though it could have a broad range of answers.
Thoughts on if it would be worth swapping a 90's 2500 burb 4x4 with a bad 6.5 to a 6.0. Curious about what a sale value could possibly be.

Don't know about resale but if it's something you would want to use sounds like a good plan.

I guess i should clarify my thoughts. If i could get in cheap enough. I'd like to do it to flip it. But, then again, i would probably want to keep it. There is one locally.
I have a 6.0 already.

Currently there's a dude on the 2500burb FB group looking for a 6.5 burb in any condition. Folks don't part with those

Different strokes I guessInteresting. I really like those 5 spoke wheels on a truck, but they look too big on a stretched Blazer

Maybe it was just the angle. They look good in that shot.
It is kind of hideous...as your dear friend, I'll park it down by my house (maybe drive it a little)

Grabbed me a solid one. Trimmed out minus nav and a sun roof. 145k miles. Not the best time to buy any car but sometimes you just have to make a move 
Title will come in the mail in a week or two (paid off his loan at the bank). Curse you NC DMV! Calc’d 16 mpg on my way home.

A motorcade of the previous body style (‘14-‘22??) eight lug suburbans passed me while I was walking my dog this past weekend.
Weren't sold to the general public and were rated to tow like 3k lbs. They were intended to be special service up-armored vehicles.
They show up for sale every once in a while, but pretty rare.
Is this one a 6.0 or 8.1? I'm in the market currently and just curious. Great looking setup

I know those 8.1s get down, it's really amazing how well they pull.PM me a price if you have interest in selling

They are great, but don’t ever drive a 6.0/6 speed one….
My Dad has a 1500HD with the 6.0 and 4 speed... its a turd. You have to drive it like you're mad at it

I passed your dad a few times on the way back from ivy. I was proud to see another 2500 6.0/6 speed

He was reluctant to stop towing with his 7.4/4l80, until he towed one time with our work truck.I passed your dad a few times on the way back from ivy. I was proud to see another 2500 6.0/6 speed
It was maybe a month and we found his new (to us) suburban.
They both pull the load fine, the 2011 is just more comfortable doing it.
He had a great time at ivy.
