I'd like to do it right now!!! However, I'm trying to get my house ready so the renters can move in this weekend. I have quite a bit to do still and i have to load up my garage into a POD to move all of my tools to SoCal. So...I need to try to get them on by Sunday night or I'll be doing it with limited tools/space. Wish me luck!! OR....one of you guys can come bolt them in for me.....

Did you have to cut the uppermost fender brace?
Or were they already cut?

[67cheby]

that was already cut i made these to fit without cutting that, however if you needed to cut that for clearance it would be a very easy modification to make the tubs come on over to meet the fender

SORRy i am pretty excited about seeing the first set out in a running and driving vehicle..i prob wont be able to sleep tonight...it really is the first step of a dream coming true for me ! i have always wanted to do something like this....I JUST HOPE IT CONTINUES TO GROW !!

[bruin_d]

Snapped a quick one with both in. I need to figure out why I'm touching on the outside of the drivers side tire. It was a problem trying to get that side aligned too. I need to figure out if the frame is tweaked or something. There is plenty of room above the tires though.

[bruin_d]

You don't have to cut it at all (Mike can verify this). I cut them before I knew about him making them. I think that he actually designed that part so you WOULDNT have to cut.

any updates on this beast, when you coming to the best coast???

[bruin_d]

Whipped up a quick catch can. All fluids changed and all bolts checked. I leave on Sunday for the 400 mile bolt shaker run to Norfolk, VA. She's running pretty well so far.

Hey Chief what is that made out of? Looks clean. Way better than the bulky plastic thing I have

Made it out of 2", black, PVC pipe. There is a guy who posted a quick how to on here a few months back and i liked the look AND the "wallet friendliness"....usually its hard to get both of those together as I'm sure you guys will agree.

[project 67 sub]

that would be funny lol, may have to steal that idea for my burb since it would kinda fit in with the army theme i got going

[FRENCHBLUE72]

Thats a pvc catch can???????

[Mike Bradbury]

PVC starts to soften at 120*, not sure about ABS. I am sure the 400 mile run will prove its road worthyness.

any updates???

Hope your not stuck out in middle America somewhere!! Probably having too much fun to worry about us.

Well, I went to leave last Sunday to drive up to Norfolk, walked into the garage at my friend's house where I've been staying since I rennted my house out (obviously a good friend, they gave up their garage for the suburban) and there was a sea of red on the floor. I've put about 500 miles on it with ZERO leaks and all of the sudden there's a pool of tranny fluid underneath on the day I need to leave. I didn't have any time whatsoever to work on it so i left it in the garage and drove my Touareg up to Norfolk. I drove back down here yesterday to work on it. It was one of the tranny cooler lines. Not sure why it started leaking. I pulled it off, cut it, and re-flared it and it seems to be doing fine now. Going to take it up the highway in a minute to make sure.
