Until it no longer becomes fun to wrench on and update/customize/fix and it becomes a burden.

Just bought my 99 with the intention of keeping for as long as possible. Trying to keep up my "no car payments" plan for as long as I can.

I'm planning on pretty much till im dead. It's not really worth that much if I sold it, so unless I was in a bind I'm going to make it super clean, maintain it and roll it prob get a second car at some point and keep it on the side and under a cover when I'm not driving it.

HI all, I'm new to the forum but not to the Yukon! I'm lucky enought to own a
'99 that I've run up to 277,002 as of today. I love it. It is truley one of the great trucks/cars I have even owned. The body is still in great shape. I have
'07 Wheels on it with 265/70R 17 Geolandars A/T-S and it looks nearly new! I'm planing on giving it a bit of a lift. not looking for the standard 4" kit. I want to put an "Add a Leaf' to the rear for a couple of inches, and a torsion lift up front for 1.5-2". I'd like to run 32's-33's. I'm really looking for as much axle articulation as possable from the IFS with out having to go with a SAC. It does fine offroad, but was limited this last weekend on a trail in Anza-Borrego. I'd love to hear any suggestions or advice.

I've had mine for 15 years now, bought it new in 1998, it has 320,500 miles. I know this is great for owners, but not good for Chevy sales. I think I'm going to replace it with another, but different colors for sure. I'm getting sick of looking at the same old truck day in and day out. HA. HA. Ready for a NEW ONE !

I got my truck from the original owner. its a 92 I still have the window sticker for it. Retail was 27k I bought it 7 years ago for 4k have 180k miles and still replacing factory parts. I wanted to keep it forever and for a child if I get so blessed but I've started to think that it might not last forever if I let a 16 year old drive it. Once I finish school I plan on getting a car and renovating it.

They're going to bury me in mine and then they will have a retirement party for me... If it weren't for lack of cash, Mine would be all finished by now... LOL
