I always wanted one of these....... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i've had so many pickups, broncos, Scouts, a few Suburbans, over the years. I always wondered why they didn't make a 4 door Jeep. Then, when they started making them, I was too tied to having a pickup to get one. Now that Henrietta (67 K20) is ready for the road, and pickup duties, I decided to take the plunge. i have 3 young-uns, so the 4 door was the only way to go. I plan on a roof rack, better bumpers, about 2 inches of mild lift, and some very slightly bigger mud grips. It's an '08, I traded my '08 crew cab for it. Had it a few days, and i love it.

A frined of mine has one, not sure of the year, and it has a bunch of updates/recalls... Check with the dealer and make sure they are up to date with all the fixes...

You beat me to it.....these things have had a BUNCH of problems!!!! Lots of TSB's and bad engines is one of the main problems...mystery oil loss is another. Keep a very close eye on the oil.

Good suggestions....I'd talked to the guy that owned it before. Only put it in 4 twice, babied it, had the dealer do all updates, even oil changes. He traded it in on a new red one just like it. Just decided he wanted red. I feel good about it, and the kids love the top coming off. I allready got a nice scratch on the top, took the paint off. Now I just need some deer blood behind the seat and a spilt spit cup and it'll be officially broken in.
