Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
Legit question, i get asked it about every day from the UPS/USPS/ FedEx or Neighbor or my wife haha. Basically i will hopefully get around to mounting the shocks and links on here in the next week or so then i will basically lift the body off the chassis and roll the frame out into the driveway then drop the body down and roll that out of the garage. I also have 235/75 r16 transport tires to lower it a bit haha. Ill make sure to take some pics of when i do it cause everyone wants to know how!!!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
Thanks buddy, the motor just got done and dynoed. 1372 hp and 1168 lbft of tq. With alcohol and a 15% overdrive pulley lots of timing and like 12 or 13 lbs of boost. I wont run near those kind of numbers though, I have a 10% overdrive about 7 lbs of boost and reduced timing to reduce detonation. Still over 1000 hp just not friggen almost 1400! lol

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
So along with stretching the fenders by 14" to contour the 54" boggers i also boxed the fenders so that mud and other debris wont get in them. Also will make cleanup a breeze! Let me know what you think!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
Taking way longer than i thought it was gonna haha. This is at about 8 hours of work. 15 total including the stretch job. So im gonna assume about 22-25 hours of work to get these fenders done along with body filler work.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
Just a lil mud. If you remember i capped and welded the inside of the fenders as well as stretched them like 14" so when i did that i just had to throw some filler where the fenders were flap diked to straighten them out. No big deal... there just gonna get scrapped when i roll it the first time!
