hey all, ill get the about me out of the way so you can read about my rig.
my name is ej, right now I am a marine stationed in nc, 23 years old and fix broken things as a hobby and as my job. in a month i will be out of the marine corps and driving back to washington. that being said i have to make sure my burb is ready for the trip.
onto the burb. it is a 88 chevy v20 suburban 4x4 with a 5.7 powering the th400 tranny. bought from my inlaws in washington and made it to montana before the tired original 350 let go on the way to nc. the rest will be in my build log.

Welcome to GMSB EJ. Thanks for your service buddy. Glad to hear of your retirement coming. We've got a couple Marines here too. :patriot:

When you get your build thread going, don't forget pics. You'll catch hell if you don't post pics here. :rofl:
