Sorry no updates, between work and life im taking a break from the suburban and building a rock crawler.

I have a better idea but you might not like it, give me a call tomorrow.

I wonder off for a while and you get busy. First off I never had the time to wait between coats, I have always used the heat from the first coat to flash the next coat so I think that I would hit it with a grinder to ruff it up. If your not using the wood buck then use as much glass as you...

Thanks for the complements. The previous owner cut the fenders up but I had some jacked up fenders that I could cut off the parts I needed.

thanks, I get a lot of ideas and inspiration from your build, I think we feed off each others builds.

I started with this rust free 1989 2wd with 56,000 miles for $600. Im into it somewhere around $6,000. So far. and this is where I'm at, you can follow my build thread here, SUBURBICON. [/IMG]

Back to work on the front bumper. trimmed the rear of the front fender while I was at it. Instead of just hacking it up I wanted to keep it factory looking. since I cut the front I just had to cut the rear fender as well.

Some more progress, was able to get the battery and air tank mount finished, painted and in place. Completed the shield and tire rack and painted them also, along with the lid for the batteries. Nice to be finishing some items.

I had some free time today so I bent and dimpled up this bracket to mount the air compressor. I still need to mount the switch and gauge but im waiting for my rock smasher tire inflation system. with any luck I'll get the air tank mounted tomorrow.

Picked up this center box from Tuffy. need to get my shifters for the transfer case so that I can mount it permanently. parts have been coming in and more do in this week, need more time to work on it. been working on the duel battery mount, decided to take advantage of all the room...

Here's a quick read on the 6500 http://www.enginebuildermag.com/2007/06/the-optimizer-6500/ Here is a link to leroys diesel . http://leroydiesel.com/products/amg-optimizer-long-block/

Thanks, I'm glad you all like it. I didn't want a raised deck do to fact that I want to be able to sit up and as for the edges I'm looking for what I think is called pinch welting. here you go Brad.

Decided to mount the spare tire inside rather on the bumper, also narrowed up the bed slide. [/URL][/IMG] With the seat down I can still sleep or carry long material. [/URL][/IMG] Im thinking about building a mount for the high lift jack to keep it safe and clean. [/URL][/IMG]...

Thanks, stay tuned I have some ideas kicking around.

I dont plan on using this grill since it's old and brittle, my plans are to build a grill like Sonis war wagon.

Finally got some time to work on the bumper, with any luck I'll be able to finish it soon. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

thanks

So do I, got some work done around the house and now I'm swamped with work.

It's been hot and I've been working around the house but I have been working on the front bumper and when I get something worth taking pictures I'll post up. Thanks

Thanks. Here's a video of the actuator in action, the rear tab is only tacked in and still needs some bracing as you can see in the video. http://vid317.photobucket.com/albums/mm382/Dratwagon/burban%20build/SAM_0018.mp4
