    Wheels Question

    I know, I've got a burb not a 'hoe but I was hoping for good input on this. Can I fit 16" GMT800 wheels from a 2000 Half Ton on my GMT900 2013 Burb that runs 17s? I've read contradicting info that the 16"s won't fit due to the brakes on the GMT900? Bolt pattern is the same though, right...

    Best year Burb?

    Hi all, I am looking at buying a used 2007-14 Burb. Any suggestions on best years of this generation? I know the early ones had AFM issues and oil consumption. I will be buying on with under 100k miles, which puts most of these at 09 and newer with that mileage. Thanks!

    So I let my brother borrow the Tahoe for a few weeks, he smashed it into one of his buddy's rigs and this happened. :disgust: The bumper mashed in the the metal and some of the paint is flaking off. How much is this to fix at a shop, and how would I go about fixing it myself?
