Awsome. Hope to see it and Cloud 9 soon.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Is it just me or is the color the same as Cloud 9?... the piece we saw the other day looked to be more of a teal color...

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Well, late to the party as usual, rendering looks great, will be glad to see the real color on some large pieces, super nice Mike....Jim

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Ok now how about some progress, the last week or so has been spent trying to figure out how to get more lift out of the back, so I robbed the F9100 bags off of Cloud 9 and switched the 9000 bag on to it , that gave me 3 more inches of lift and a heavier rated bag to carry the extra load of the heavier blazer, also a little worried about the stability we moved the bags to the outside of the frame rails. Of course we needed a tow package since it is an SUV so I made a tow package for it

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Since we made new top bag mounts we also had to make new bottom bag mounts. With our extra 3 inches of travel from the taller bags we now have to redesign the rear shock setup for a shock that can travel 10 inches so here is that progress

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

tonight I will be working on the panhard bar mounting and crossmembers (this is the start of one of them)

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Clean work, it's awesome to see these projects being done by people other than professional builders.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Mike, any way to show what that shock setup looks like fully extended? I'm not quite able to visualize it. Looks pretty complex and sweet though!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

And my wife thinks I don't sleep...............:smoke:

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Nice progress on the chassis. Sounds like you have it all figured out.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Wait, I think I figured it out looking at it a little longer. I couldn't tell at first that the lower shock mount oscillates as the axle drops.

Awesome progress all around. I haven't said much lately, but I've been following along closely and am mucho impressed. Great work!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

sorry i'm not to brite when it comes to bags but how does the bottom bag bolt in?

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

p.s. this build makes me wish my k5 was 2wheel drive :( sweet truck

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Nice update Mike! I like the bags on the outside of the frame much better!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Scotts didn't have this figured out for you??

[Thanks man, I appreciate that
LOL....I understand !
I think so
thank you man !
piec of all thread in the bottom hole then you spin the bag on
hey this one was a 4x4, just sayin !
me too !
I think the rear system that I have wasn't quite designed for the amount of travel that I wanted it to have, Scott's has been great to help me with anything I have needed
thanks Kyle
Man these are so cool, when you do this !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

MIke when u have time...remind me of what u used on bottom of C-9 cab...and would u use it again....I'm fixin to be at the point of what-to-do...I normally paint it ....and my cab is super slick...but with so much bed panel exposed under raised bed and being original bedsides they are not near as slick.....thought about a spray-on material like lizard skin or something similar........thoughts??...........jim

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

couldnt you use bedliner , only downside to that is you never get it off again for sheetmetal repair

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Lizard skin is a great product we are using it on the inside of the tub but I don't like the looks of it underneath , we went with a true hot spray in liner underneath Cloud 9

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

no kidding sorry I just skip to the pix trucks awesome

well sorry for the lack of updates, its been pretty hectic around here ! Finally finished up everything on the rear air ride, blew the frame apart it is getting bodyworked and ready for paint as we speak ! Last night I busted out the grinder and got my CPP spindles all smoothed up !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Nice work on the spindles! Anything new from the paint shop?

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Kyle has the tub in final prime he hoped to be laying paint by the end of this week ? He is doing an AMAZING job !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Awesome Job on the spindles and I cant wait to see that Square painted and rollin on your sick Chassis

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
