That truck is awesome!!! Love the H2 wheels. I almost got a set of those. They look nice.
Glad to see you enjoying your Suburban with your family. Have fun!

Yeah but now it's gonna be too pretty to drive. 🤣
Maybe I will just run a key down both sides of it like the NASCAR drivers allegedly do.

Can't wait to see this thing live and in the flesh brother, you've earned this.
Starting to look like a truck. It fired up for the first time! Making progress.
Cold Case radiator and dual 16” fans are in as well as a Derale Transmission cooler with underbody fan.
ORD crossover steering is mocked up and ready for powder coating and new steering box is in.
Dual ARB compressors and air tank are in. The plan is to make a custom shield for the compressors to protect them and also run an ARB air filter relocation kit to keep the compressors from ingesting any water. But water would have to be about 1/3 of the way up the doors or more before that would happen.

Very, very awesome Burb!
More progress. Shield for the air tank and compressors has been mocked up and is ready for Raptor Lining.
The Warn Zeon 12000 pound winch has arrived and been test fit on the Off Road Design front bumper. We are waiting on the rear bumper to come in (hopefully this week) then both bumpers and some other small parts will go off for powder coating. I like the look of the round KC lights to give some contrast to the Suburban’s blocky good looks. 😀
There was one concession I had to make to my wife I wasn’t super happy about and that is the AMP power steps. I really wanted a set of rock sliders, but I suppose giving in on this one detail isn’t the worst thing considering how supportive my wife has been of this project.
Wiring is almost complete and a Switch Pros 8 station controller will be running things.
Upholstery has been ordered and the interior is next on the list.
