  • Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! CZcams's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we will take an up close and personal in depth look at the 1999 GMC Suburban Choo Choo Customs conversion suv. A unique custom aftermarket trim level you don't see quite too often. With many upgraded interior and comfort features, it's pretty neat to see what it's all about! I was actually on my way to film something else that day and just so happened to see this, so I made a pit stop before heading out! During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with revs. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
    FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW:
    In this channel you will find in depth reviews/tour of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of CZcams!

    Amazing how far they've come since then. I remember in 6th grade, there was a kid whose parents bought a brand new one of these - needless to say, there were A LOT of jealous eyes when he got dropped off at school!

    Just bought a 1997 Chevy suburban 1500 with a VERY rare 6.5 liter turbo diesel ( very rare for 1500 models. could only be obtained by custom ordering the option at a dealer). 130,000 original miles, LT model with tan leather seats that are in very nice shape, very little rust, all functioning glow plugs, 8 lug rims (to hold the weight of the diesel engine even though it is a 1/2 ton truck), Cherry Ice Metallic color (looks like maroon/burgundy), 42 gallon fuel tank, and clean title. Best truck we have probably ever owned

      The fog lamps are integrated right below the bumper where the chin spoiler was added to this vehicle. They swapped out the normal design for the chin spoiler, but when they did that, it took off the fog lights, but they didn't remove the switch.

    Man this thing would be so awesome for road trips. A lot of people in other countries don't really realize the distance in America. I live in Oregon and if I just wanna drive down to Southern California it's like a 10 hour drive lol. Taking 6 people down to so cal in this thing would be a breeze and it would be comfortable all the way. On the highway it might get around 20mpg, as two years ago I took a 94' GMC 2500 (350V8 TH700R4) down and it got 18mpg average.

    @ no fog lights....A lot of these up-fitters installed a custom splitter underneath the bumper. These were prone to cracking and damage because a lot of them were fiberglass. My guess is there were fog lights in a splitter, but because of damage or wear, the part was replaced with a normal Suburban bumper.
