What is your ready vehicle

[CRAMBONE]

Our winter beater/road trip vehicle is a 05' Escalade ESV. Other than a leaky sunroof I haven't had any issues with it to date.

When did yours start leaking? I've got a -14 Yukon.

I've got a 2dr Wrangler. Just got it about 3 months ago so other than feeling it out, I haven't made any upgrades to it yet. Want to add some new bumpers, a 2.5" lift and bigger tires as well as side steps for those shorter people. Other updates are adding some fuel cans and a mount but haven't decided on what kind I want to go with, or if I want to go with a swing away rear tire carrier/ fuel can carrier combo when I upgrade the rear bumper. Its like playing legos with a car, almost like the versatility of an AR, IMO.

Dunno, bought it used. I close it, then bump it up slightly and it doesn't leak. Resetting it didn't help either.

Got rid of the 2000 Grand Cherokee that I had lifted 4in. Needed something much better on fuel and room. Picked up a 2003 GMC Yukon XL with 150,000 miles. Much better vehicle.

Your old GC would have outwheeled anything Chevy has made since the K5 six ways from Sunday. If it's supposed to be some kind of BOV you'd better leave before the roads get jammed because you won't get very far overland in 8,000lb IFS rig.

Sorry, but ive had 10 times better luck with the GM trucks than the Jeeps ive owned. Besides, here in indiana, worst thing we have is wide open muddy fields and anything 4x4 does fine when youre not an idiot.

I decided on a 2015 Subaru Outback, because I am trying to balance good fuel efficiency and comfortable commuting with large cargo space and mild off-road/bad weather capability. I've lifted it so it has approximately 10" of ground clearance, and replaced the rear springs with HD ones that allow me to carry about 800lbs of gear in back without losing ground clearance. Also added some legit All Terrain tires. These boxer engines are stupid reliable and it gets about 29 hwy. Only hangups I might have with it are water fording and having to push disabled vehicles out of the way, following a disaster. It wouldn't be well suited for those jobs.

I’d love to see some pics! Very interested in a Subaru.

Just picked up an 06 Wrangler rubicon. Short on space but should do well to get out of town if needed.
