This. I too have an old suburban. I stuck a 5 speed manual transmission in it. Whenever someone is surprised it's a stick I ask "You want to take it for a spin?"
Everyone says yes. Nobody asks about safety features.
- tehwebguy 4y agoSounds awesome. Still kicking myself for no buying the dirt cheap 5 speed gen 1 Discovery on Craigslist last year...

Very reminiscent of a Toyota LC actually, especially since their original I6 was derived from the Chevy I6.
