- Front diff got fried by a bad tow and I'm not confident in the repair - and getting stuck on the beach is a stone bummer (muuuuy expensivo tows... predatory, even)
- Roof is rusting out around the roof rack bolts - and I'm a heavy roof-rack user.
OTOH, the engine's always had synthetic in it and seems sound at
175k.It recently dawned on me that, since they're destroying the engines on cash-for-clunkers trade-ins, maybe I could come by a newer-everything-except-the-engine Suburban and have my '98's engine bolted over into it.
Is this notion even remotely practical?
