This makes me want to get started on my suburban conversion. Thanks for posting up this build thread. Seeing all of your pics helps out a lot to see what all I need.

Thanks

Front cage is basically done, Just need to mount my fans then pull them and the radiator and weld everything I can't get to. I need to pull the steering box to get a gusset and finish welding the down tube right there also

Looks way too busy

Kind of compromised with the shock mount gusset

78stepsideUAK10 · 07-02-2012, 05:15 PM

Front is just about done, I've gotta cut out the cross bar and weld on some flanges to make it removable. I just ordered them the other day.

Then I've gotta pull the radiator and steering box for final welding

I've got about 5 more bars to do tomorrow out back.

.095 material is 100x nicer to work with

I got a plus 3" seat, I think this will go to the passenger side and I'm gonna get a custom +6" or 7" seat.

I'm only 6'2 but this seat only comes to the base of my skull

hope you're kidding.

78stepsideUAK10 · 07-28-2012, 10:00 PM

Definitely not, I'd mount it if the other side wasn't cut up

Takes up about half the windsheild

Might try to figure out a way to mount it just to be funny every now and then though

I think if you mounted it, you would definitely get a pic in the Ghetto fab/Hack job thread.

78stepsideUAK10 · 08-06-2012, 06:14 PM

Only have two of them so far

78stepsideUAK10 · 08-07-2012, 07:40 PM

78stepsideUAK10 · 10-06-2012, 04:17 PM

Fuarking shocks are too long, I can get about 5" up travel if I mount them on the backside of the axle. Might do that or just sell them

78stepsideUAK10 · 10-14-2012, 05:06 PM

Shocks mounted, 5.5" uptravel, should be fine. Might get a zero rate just to be safe

Lower bumper is all welded

78stepsideUAK10 · 11-11-2012, 04:56 PM

Getting closer

78stepsideUAK10 · 12-16-2012, 05:12 PM
