I've had this 'ol gal for about a month now, this was the solution to convince my wife to get rid of the extra vehicles and get into a Traverse...this gives her the pickup bed capability, tho I'll prob use it more. Already been a workhorse getting the astronomical amount of pine needles hauled off to the burn dump before the snow sets in for the season.
There's some small issues to address, but nothing time & money can't fix...master cylinder is bolted/locked out, one parking brake cable is bad, and the other parking brake handle has some corrosion issues.
I have no intentions to modify anything, but swapping out the fixed lunette for the 5-position adjustable lunette will def be coming...along with swapping out the intervehicular cable in favor of a like made 7-way RV style cord & plug (plug & play with the factory trailer wiring) and devising an underbody winch-type spare tire carrier.
Picked up an accessory box from a MEP trailer that I'll be mounting on the tongue to carry tire changing tools (will have to sacrifice the cord stowage cradle). Right now I'm leaning toward painting the horrible camo job with CARC substitute solid green (since everything else is solid green).
Over the weekend we took advantage of Black Friday at Discount Tire to do an early replacement of our Suburban tires. Now my Suburban, K25, and trailer all share the exact same wheel/tire package and have 4 spares between the 3 (Silverado also carries the same rubber but diff wheels due to being DRW). Tho when the wheels come off to install Bearing Buddies I will definitely be painting the drums black.
