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.....

**67cheby** · 08-25-2011, 08:29 PM

i wish i was there i would love to help you put them in, cant wait for everyone to see them in a complete vehicle !! as for a dedicated thread, no , just check out my build thread, thanks

**lolife99** · 08-25-2011, 09:59 PM

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

**67cheby** · 08-25-2011, 10:04 PM

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

.....you beat me...

**67cheby** · 08-25-2011, 10:10 PM

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 · 08-25-2011, 11:18 PM

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 · 08-25-2011, 10:05 PM

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.

*project 67 sub* · 09-11-2011, 03:04 PM

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

bruin_d · 09-15-2011, 06:10 PM

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.

Mulk · 09-15-2011, 11:19 PM

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* · 09-16-2011, 02:56 AM

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** · 09-16-2011, 05:29 PM

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

Mike Bradbury · 09-16-2011, 11:26 PM

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

*project 67 sub* · 09-20-2011, 05:21 PM

any updates???

k5hart · 09-20-2011, 08:06 PM

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

bruin_d · 09-24-2011, 03:38 PM

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.
