I thought Square peg was going to be the tow vehicle for Cloud 9? Did priorities change when you decided to make the ride height 6 inches off the ground? :)

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 
LOL...ride height is 4 inches...6 is full lift !

My bad :lol: I think that answers my question too, though. I imagine you'd be dragging something serious with a trailer hooked up behind.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 
yep...that's pretty AWESOME !

Anyone junking a square body frame ? I could use a set of the forward cab mounts off the frame ??

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 
thats dragnasty hes the instigator of the lowered dually scene and of the 22,5 inch truck rims that he machined down a little so 22 inch car tires would fit around them
i have a set of those rims from the former owner of dragnasty
going that low with those rims on an old style chevy you need to cut out the inner fenders part of the firewall and remove the original heater , looks cool though

you might be able to turn the dually intoo a cartransporter , that would safe(r) from little rocks trown of the rearwheels , you might even use parts of the trailerchassis and fit that on the truckframe
