dually burb?
I have always been curious about this since I saw the movie Twister. In it, the bad guy (cary elwes I think) drives a black 'burb with dual wheels and dually fenders. Is this factory? It sure looked neat.

GM never made a dually burb. There are conversions though. Not too hard if you really want one. I've seen a 4X4 blazer turned into a dually. Looks BADA$$!!!

I'm making the wife's '90 Suburban 4x4 into a dually now. Also got a crate ZZ502 engine for it. Man is it getting expensive though!!

No, they're not factory, but there are converted ones out there. A guy on the next street over from me has one. He uses it to tow a big travel trailer...

Nope, can't use truck dually fenders, they're too long. Arrowcraft makes custom fenders that are the proper dimensions for Suburbans. They run about $400 a pair.
