Friends,
Perhaps you folks can add more ideas. I think a 4" exhaust is a good safety upgrade too! If we can get some good thoughts in here, perhaps all our families, and the familes of other folks who aren't buying brand new rigs can be enhanced. I love the collaborative nature of this site.
I love my Suburban. It is gigantic. It has good power. It drives wonderfully on the open road. However, it is lacking in one thing I find critically important.
As a father, I haul small children all the time. My Burb was built before "LATCH" technology. While I can get my car seats in using the seatbelts pretty well, I can always get them in more solidly in a newer car that has "LATCH" connectors. (FYI, I am a carseat Nazi, as a result of the loss of a child that one of my friends suffered. Their loss was carseat related.)
My little simple upgrade costs about $3. This only works for Suburban owners who don't use the 3rd row seat, since I used the anchor for the third row. I used a cable anchor, rated to 1,320 pounds, placed into the 3rd row seat anchor slot, tighted it up, and voila, attached the top "LATCH" strap to the anchor. It really tightened up the top of the seat and everything feels more secure. Sorry for the quality on the last shot, but you can see how it works.
