From the dark side.......

[Kevin B]

Hello everyone. First Let me say that you have a wonder board full off usefull and entertaining information. That is the main reason I am here(<span class="ev_code_RED">but please dont amuse yourself at my expense)</span>. I am an ASE master certified tech(worked for ford for 3 years (<span class="ev_code_RED">so now I want a G.M. product which I know nothing about</span>) and also have spent some time working at the railroad on locomotive engines.<span class="ev_code_RED">Did that seem random to any of you?</span> I am probaby going to pick up an h2 in the near future as it is one of the few vehicles that will fit all my needs.<span class="ev_code_RED">non of which I bothered to mention.</span>
I have thought about a rubicon as only the ignorant will argue its capability,<span class="ev_code_RED">execpt, possibly, someone who has actually been out with one.</span> The problem is that I want more room for cargo and passengers and they also ride like crap on the highway <span class="ev_code_RED">(I thought but now I see im wrong about that too ) </span> for long trips. Obviously I would love a range-rover or even an amg g-wagon but would hate to put a dent on one of those vehicles<span class="ev_code_RED">(but the cheepie 60K Hummer would be O.K.)</span> as I actually enjoy taking my 4x4's up to the BLM Land around Co- 82 anywhere from glernwood springs area and south. Occasionally I make It to the front slope near ft. Collins also. I often am at elevations above 8000 ft so the snow can get pretty deep<span class="ev_code_RED">(and thats not all if you know what I mean :wink</span>. My 5.0 explorer actually did fine in the deep snow with bfg at ko's on it. It is now to a point to where I do not want to sink any more time or money into it.I would rather just start with something new that is capable<span class="ev_code_RED">(but not in a rubi,g-wagon,L.R., R.R. kinda way)</span> out of the box while meeting my needs<span class="ev_code_RED">(did I mention those?)</span> to be comfortable on road trips and have plenty of room for cargo.

Sorry for the rant....<span class="ev_code_RED">(but not really)</span>
