Yeah we did. Man, that makes me cringe! I guess everyone has atleast one regret. My wife (well, she was my fiance at the time) and I put it together just before we got married. It was great for the two of us. But not so good on the ice. We built it with 4.56 gears, Detroit Lockers front and rear, Propane, 3 inch down pipe, 3.5 inch exhaust, and put some custom tricks on the factory airbox. So there were a few things I wish I did different, mainly the gears and lockers, I would have left my 3.73 gears or gone with 4.11, and put a selectable locker in the front.

So that was kinda my trial run for the Suburban. There is a lot of work that I have in mind for the suspension, drivetrain, body, interior... the list goes on! Does this give a hint of what I really want to do for an engine?
