Not sure if that's smack you're talking GlastronGuy but here's my 2003 2500 4x4 Avalanche with 8.1L big block, 6" RCD suspension lift and 35" BFG All Terrain T/A KO tires...

Don't know if it'll fit a golf cart but the box is wide enough to fit a 4' wide sheet of plywood/sheetrock flat and with the rear seat folded down and midgate down, the 8' length will fit inside and I can close the tailgate.
It rides way better than any pickup truck since it's built on a Suburban-like chassis.

I don't know about Glastron's full line of boats but based on the Glastron's I've seen out here in SoCal, the only thing a Glastron's better than is no boat at all. And since I don't yet own a boat I won't say anything bad about Glastrons :D

Anytime I want to hear what you NoCal'ers think I'll call you. And I sure as hell don't need an English lesson from someone living in the 51st state of Bezerkley :D

I don't know what it cost but I'll guess that the only way they got that much lift out of it was by changing out the IFS to a solid axle front suspension. That's thousands of bucks. Once that's done the rest is probably and comparatively not all that expensive...depending of course on which wheels and tires you opt for.

If by Hulk you mean the green one.
replacement cost would be $110,000
the front suspension is still IFS not solid axle.

I have one w/out cladding (plastic sides). I love it. It tows the 21ft boat no problemo and rides waaaaay better than a regular truck due to the 4 link rear suspension on coils. Of course I've put on a billet grill, KMC wheels, K&N intake, Magnaflow exhaust, and Superchip programmer to make it more "user friendly" :D The back seat is plenty big for hauling friends with gas money to the river too. I'll try to get some pics tonight if ya want to see it.

People usually love 'em or hate 'em (Avalanches). I personally couldn't stand the way they looked until I saw one that was lifted. That's when I realized how good they could look. As for quality, they're as good/nice as a Suburban or Tahoe inside and out (they're almost the same exact truck except for the obvious body differences - the interiors are very nearly identical).
Go check 'em out at the dealership. By the way, they'll sell about 80% of all Avalanches without body hardware ("WBH" on the option list) - that's what Chevy calls the body cladding (plastic panels). The WBH models are almost identical to the Silverado except for the box/cargo bed area. If you want one with the big block motor (8.1L) then you must get the cladding which is one reason I have it (I like the cladding when it's close to the body color and because it actually protects the truck from dings and nicks especially when I'm offroading).
By the way, anyone ever run El Diablo dropoff out in Anza Borrego Desert State Park? I'll bet my Avlanche is the largest and heaviest vehicle to do that (it weighs 7,000 pounds) - here's a pic or two...

You guys did a great job on that truck! The attention to detail is amazing (looking at the rear tailgate/bumper area, painted cladding, etc., etc.). You must have a monster lift kit (like a Whiplash?) and a body lift on it to clear those tall doughnuts!
Care to share any more details about it?

Most people know the difference between Glastron's and Glastron/Carlson's. But since you don't own a boat and are a non native english speaker, I understsand the confusion.

Naw, most people don't know and they certainly don't care. Isn't that like knowing the difference between two brands of wheel chairs?
And don't hijack this thread :D

Here's another Avalanche lifted quite high and this one didn't cost $100,000+ to build. It's a 2002 2500 4x4, with 8.1 big block, Hypertech, K&N, 15 inches of lift, 44 swampers, 16.5x12 stonecrushers.
