Newbie Intro

Hi all, I just signed up for this site and, so far, I've been pretty impressed. I really like the helpful, supportive environment you all present for the mutual benefit of all. Anyway, pictured below is my '86 GMC K2500, 4x4, 3/4 ton Suburban. It has a rebuilt 350, rebuilt tranny (not sure which one though), a 6" rancho susp. lift, and some 35" BFG mud terrains on 16.5" wheels. Nicknamed "The Beast" by my people, she's a lot of fun and I look forward to sharing whatever I can on this board.

Future plans (maybe "wishlist" would be more appropriate) include:
- Getting rid of the trailering mirrors and installing some OEM ones instead.
- T.P.I. swap
- Interior upgrade/customization
