What Is Your Suburban choice?
 
-
OK I've never posted a poll before so I hope I don't screw anything up here.

This is a hypothetical question:

There are two '67-'72 suburbans for sale, reasonably priced and you had the spare cash to buy ONE. They are the same year, same color, same options, same engine & trans combo, same price, etc... They are exactly alike except one is a 2 wheel drive and one is a 4x4. Which one would you buy.... If you want to post a reason for your vote feel free to do so.

Thanks for helping me out here.

4X4 for me hands down.

These old trucks to me just have a certain tough but sweet personality to me when they are 4 wheel drive.

Plus I think they look better with 4x4 suspension.

All about personal taste.

Being as I love to lower EVERYTHING :) Even my daily is lowered! I vote for the 2wd.

Four wheel no question.
These are nostalgic for me between used for recreation in the woods, forest service or getting the crews to the undeveloped jobsite. Just love the stance, knowing the capability if neccessary. You may seldon use it as four wheel or need it as such but it is there when you need it. I have two other four wheel drives so I am biased. A two wheel will always be two wheel drive with no other options.

I have to say I like them both but when it comes right down to it I would have the 2wd because I would never go 4 wheeling in my restored burb. I had a 4wd blazer for a couple of years and really liked it but always wanted a 2wd blazer and thats the way I feel about the burbs. I like them low to cruise around town with the family. Thought I would post a pic of the burb I just finished this year.

I've got a 2 wheel drive, but I am partial to 4X4's. I'd go with the 4 by.

4x4 for me - i use mine for trips in winter and summer, in the snow and back country dirt roads that sometimes requre 4 wheel drive. i also like the look.

Has to be 4wd. I like going places that require the use of 4wd to get there.

I partial to the 2 wheel drive. One less thing to repair and the gas milage is even worse on a 4 x 4. Don't get me wrong though... I would be proud to own a 4 x 4. I would take the one in the best condition.

Hey CCMcdonald. Your Burb looks better every time you post a picture. Nice job!

even though I live near Chicago I would pick a 2wd suburban over a 4x4
mine sits a little high right now almost looks a little like a 4x4
but its 2wd and a drop kit and new wheels will be added this spring

Re: What Is Your Suburban choice?
 
Thanks 72Arizonaburb!!! Your burb looks awsome as well. I think its pretty cool that we were almost on the same schedule with our builds this year. Lots of late nights in the garage but well worth it.

2wd for me....but having this 3/4 ton 8 lugger is like almost being 4wd:lol:

4X4 lifted so you have to jump to get in and can fall out.

I have to say "its never low enough" so if I HAD to buy a 4x4 it would have to be lowered.

Dunenutt 12-09-2011 02:25 PM

Re: What Is Your Suburban choice?
 
I voted 4x4.

The last 6 vehicles I have owned were 4x4's. I own 3 right now, have space for one more. I feel like my butt is draggin if there is'nt at least 3 feet between me and terra firma.

4x4 for me. Mud, snow, dunes. Many more places to go with a 4x.

With the Suburban I had to vote 4x4 with the panel I would have to go 2wd

I'm the only one to say "flip a coin" Where I live it would be cool to have one of each.:lol: I have the 2wd now I just need to me a 4x4.

Bigblueburban 12-09-2011 05:16 PM

Re: What Is Your Suburban choice?
 
I said flip a coin. mine is 2wd and I love them bagged and ground scraping but Im also looking for a 4x4 right now. VECTORIT has an amazing looking truck and you cant deny how classy yet menacing they look.

4x4 for the fun of it, even if you don't go hard core off roading. It can be fun without thrashing. All the interior space to make a nice hunting rig with room for people and stuff.

I have a slammed 2WD truck and a 4WD burb and it's perfect that way.

Ok Leon...It's later tonight isn't it???...What ya got going on:D
