    Vehicle Purchase

    The dog injury story I just posted reminded me that I never circled back on this topic. I ended up finding a great deal on a used Leer 100XQ (facebook marketplace) that fit my truck and was in very good condition. I was worried about air circulation for the dogs with that model, but I took them...

    Dog Injury

    I appreciate it Dakota! The U had a busy schedule today so we kind of had to s*** or get off the pot (would have been pushed out a month or more if we didn't have it done today). So we ended up moving forward with the surgery which is a big financial smack in the face. However, whether he has...

    Dog Injury

    Morning All, I took my two vizslas to a park a couple blocks from my house on Tuesday night just get some vinegar out. I opened the topper window (not the tailgate yet) and the 3 yr old decided he wasn’t going to wait for the tailgate to be opened - leaped over the tailgate down onto the paved...

    Anybody have experience with Unicover toppers? There is a place in Hudson that offers these caps at a slightly more affordable price with comparable options.

    Vehicle Purchase

    That is what I would plan to do - get some smaller kennels for the truck and leave the others in the house. One of my vizslas is normal size - 50 lbs +/- 5 lbs. The other was up to 88 lbs at one point and he's down to about 70 now - real tall and barrel chested. Which Radco did you work with...

    It sounds like I could get a couple smaller kennels and it would work to put them in the backseat. One of my vizslas is kind of huge so I'm not sure how well he will fit in a smaller kennel like that but I am going to find out! Thanks for the idea.

    Vehicle Purchase

    Update from the OP - I ended up calling around on a number of Suburbans and nobody was willing to negotiate on them. Feeling a bit discouraged, I picked my son up from daycare one day and asked him if I should get another vehicle like the one I had (a Tahoe) or if I should get a pickup truck. He...

    Vehicle Purchase

    Husker - Looking at a used vehicle - ideally 2017 or newer and looking to spend less than $40K. I'm probably slightly below or right about average in terms of my mechanical understanding - some systems I'm really comfortable with (brakes, rotors, hub assemblies, driveshaft and u-joints...

    Vehicle Purchase

    The reason for the 3rd row is really more related to cargo space than it is to the number of seats. I suppose at some point we might end up with my nieces/nephews or ridesharing with other hockey/baseball families so that might come in handy in the next couple years. For now it just offers more...

    Vehicle Purchase

    These messages are outstanding - thank you so much for the responses. I should have bought a truck 8-10 years ago haha. Sure seems like the larger SUV is the way to go at this moment in time. This helps narrow my search - I'm planning on a 4WD, 8 cylinder (needs to tow a boat that's roughly...

    Vehicle Purchase

    Morning All, I'm hoping some of you have insight and/or experience with this conundrum I find myself in. I have two small children (6 yr old boy and 2 yr old girl) and two vizslas. I currently drive a 2003 Tahoe and it has served me/us very well. I am now constantly looking at vehicles and...
