In the Market...

So I have been looking for a Burb or a Jimmy lately.
I have a nice C10, that is just not quite big enough for the family on extended travels. So I put it on Craigslist.
Plus, I have always wanted to try some off roading...

I have been looking at some Burbans, being tempted by "pre smog".
Here is CA I'm amazed at how many guys drop money on their rigs, jacking them up, putting in expensive stereos but don't take care of the emissions. It's not legal to sell a vehicle here without smog!

So I feel like a Suburban is overkill, and won't be great offroad, (big, long, heavy) but great for family camping, and a Blazer might be too small. Plus that rear seat does not seem like a safe place for my 4 year old. Yeah I love the convertibles, but does a roll cage work for a kid in the back?

Burban or Blazer?

Just for fun this is what I plan on giving up. It's been a great truck, and it's really nice! Almost too nice to beat on!

My buddy took this at sunrise in Death Valley last month:
