Very cool. I figure a vehicle like this. I'd leave out the third row seat. If anything just install three bucket seats and leave the rest for storage or a bed. Put a rack on top with a decent roof tent and you'll have a reasonable rig for about 8-10 thousand. Depending on how much work needs done. This one looks very clean, so imagine it likely doesn't need a ton of chassis work. Most I've seen in that age group have pretty rotten chassis's. Axles and suspension on those older suburbans seems to be pretty durable and likely just needs some tlc. My biggest cost factor would be a crate motor and transmission rebuild. If I did most of the work, I believe I could do it for less than 10k.That's exactly the reason for this build. By the time I loaded up my explorer with 2 kids, 2 dogs,and all the gear for camping, it was tetris trying to get it to fit.
