    Actually I take that back, they're almost exclusively 15" wheels and probably won't clear Yukon brakes.

    My dad has 2018, and that generation never came in HD form; I do believe that the Secret Service has 11th Gen HD Suburbans, but the government has a lot of sweet GM vehicles that regular people cannot buy...

    Dammit! So, it sounds like they'd fit my truck if it were a 6-lug...

    I'll warn you though, they're extremely high quality genuine three piece wheels, pretty sure even used after 40 years they're still about $1200 a wheel. Sometimes for sale on here actually.

    This is actually a 10th Gen Secret Service HD Suburban, not an 11th Gen, but in my opinion the wheels are sort of reminiscent of the SSRs...

    Looks like the gov't contract GMs might be on Alcoa wheels.

    And note how they have the Chevy bowtie center caps; I love those wheels though!

    I know that you are not a huge fan of the newer Cruisers, @Speedytech7, but this 2016 J200 is pretty sweet in my opinion...

    Nice, looks like a good driver. Wouldn't feel bad driving it around as a daily since she's a bit chewy already.

    The only noteworthy problem with the red one, according to the owner, is that the A/C does not work; I would love to buy a totaled FZJ80 and a J60 with a solid body but maybe frame rust issues, and then put the J60 body on the newer frame! Registering it would be easy, since the clear title of the J60 is one I'd use!

    A/C is easy to fix on those old pigs, I fixed the A/C in my 80 series the other day. R12 systems you can put a hydrocarbon refrigerant in at lower pressure and still get just as cold as R12. I used R12a which is basically propane.

    Here's one you're definitely gonna like; 1996 FZJ80 in a perfect color combo! It was not originally triple-locked, but the owner added a complete triple-locked differential system from another one, and now it is! The rig has also been set up for camping...
