1990 Suburban 2500 build-thing (B.U.T.T.)

The red paint is red zink primer, and yes the little guy always wants to help! I'm Airforce Security Forces (similar to Military Police for those that dont know). The snorkel ya cheap one off of either amazon or ebay for a toyota 80 series I didnt want to spend big money on an Arb or similar that did fit if this one doesnt hold up maybe down the line I'll upgrade it. Used a heat gun to get the angles i wanted the top will get trimmed down a bit it looks a bit to high for my liking

Great job on the snorkel, not the easiest thing to install at all and it looks like you nailed it.

 

[dhawkins556]

It looks really good! What's the big picture plans for it? Just wheeling down some trails, camping, over landing?

 

[Seanmiller063]

Honestly an all around rig. Tow rig camping exploring trails a bit of it all, it'll get 1 tons at some point in time to make it better suited for the harder stuff, and dartwagon thank you, your build is very bad ***!

I guess a small update to let you guys know i didn't "hit it and quit it" no updates I took 28 days leave and left the burban at home. Back and boy did i miss it

 

[Seanmiller063]

I should be able to get some small pannels made for where I cut out the rear quarter this weekend. The paint should be happening in a month or so! Just waiting for a chance to rent out the paint booth, finish prep work and find time to paint!

 

[Seanmiller063]

Well no crazy update but an update none the less started working on it again got the grille and bumper off cut some off the fenders (need to cut more but I'll do that before I paint) hopefully going to get the rear bumper off and start welding in some patch pannels for where i cut the rear quarters

And flipped the tow hooks! Sorry cant forget that one lol

is B.U.T.T. K.I.T.T.s bigger ugly brother?


Nice work on the snorkel. Chemical stripper, no thanks. Must have been an ugly mess.

 

[Seanmiller063]

Ha ya maybe, but yes the stripper sucked to use but with the condition of the paint it needed to be brought all the way down and that was the fastest way.

Now for the update. Took the doors off got them and the jams cleaned up and painted. I think its looking good! Now to put them back on and get all the interior cleaned up.

[Jis4Jeep]

Loving the truck and the work looks great good luck with the build cant wait to see some more pics.

 

[Seanmiller063]

Doors back on. Man lining them all up is a pain. Not perfect but probably better than stock http://[URL=http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Ivannatinkle1/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150921_194135_zpsb15h6qam.jpg.html] [/URL]
