Just wanted to give a shoutout. I just bought this for my wife from an old member here. She's tired of generic SUVs. I'm spending a little money to line everything out real nice. We're super excited.

That's a beauty. Tell us more about it and as always, pics appreciated.

Thanks Jay. It has just short of 200K miles. Three years ago, Matt Stoffregen installed a 5.3/6L80E combo in place of the original powertrain. His workmanship is exquisite. I'm gonna get the shift logic a little more "grandma" and I'm upgrading with some modern features: LED headlights, Apple Carplay, more USBs and power ports, clean up the paint, replace tint, fix a few little broken bits. Just clean up form and function.

Oh man, you are set mechanically then. Great 62, welcome to Mud.

Thanks amigo. I'm pretty obsessive compulsive on vehicle restomods. Matt's work is a great starting point. I try to ride a fine line between superior functionality and traditional character. I'll take some pictures of the finished product.
