New Member w/ 2007 Sub

[7SubTrooper]

We decided it was time for a new family rig so we upgraded to a 2007 Suburban LT with 125k on it and in great shape. It already came with the 20" KMC Stitch wheels and already I plan to tint the front windows, led headlights and possibly a cat back exhaust.

thanks.

Got some things on my list.

Tire sensor to fix
Backdoor only power closes half the time.
Middle Seats power fold half way ( thinking maybe they need some grease)
Replace burnt out DRLs with some LEDs http://www.amazon.com/JDM-ASTAR-Lumens-AX-2835-Chipsets/dp/B00G2TV7OG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1410494517&sr=8-3&keywords=3157+LED

My wife wants a full brush guard but I'm afraid it will just look like a cop rig and I wonder how it would look painted white. The only thing i like about one of these is we live where people hit a lot of deer on the roads.

no to brush guard unless you do prerunner style. Then it would look border patrol.

Brush guards look silly on the nnbs imo

Ha ha agreed I think there is a white Tahoe here in town with a black brush guard and it's either border patrol or a fire chief.

I gotta find a better alternative to a full brush guard, I do like the look of that prerunner bar. I would like more lighting for my night skiing trips off the mountain this winter.


I got a question concerning the v8/v4 mode. We rarely seen the v4 mode when cruising on the highway. Earlier this summer on a Alaska trip we rented a 2015 burb and it went into v4 mode all the time.

Thought I'd share my old burb too. I've had this rig for 8 years now and after I repainted it and replacing the 350 two years ago. All within week this year I was t-***** and lost a rod bearing so it is currently on the back burner in the garage.

 

[07Burb]

Nice square body! Sad that it got t-***** love the square bodies

 

[7SubTrooper]

Damage isn't major but a huge punch to my gut after all the work I put into the paint job. I ended up with a decent insurance claim and after sitting in the bank and no time this summer to repair it, I use it down on the new sub.

I started with it looking like... paint was almost all gone off the roof

 

[07Burb]

Can't see the pics cuz I'm not a member if ck5 :/

 

[7SubTrooper]

opps should of known better there, fixed...

 

[07Burb]

Yeah damage definitely looks repairable! You've brought her a long ways it looks like. I can understand your disappointment over the wreck. If it was me I'd just take a break then get her back in shape once I got over the disappointment

 

[7SubTrooper]

Thought I'd post an update here on my old square body burb. Pulled the 350 and had it rebuilt and all back together. I also did a 2.5" lift and a 8 lug 3/4ton swap with a 14 bolt full floater rearend. Just finished up the last pieces to the swap today and washed it. Currently waiting on my new wheels and tires to arrive from discount.
