Re: 72 Suburban Build
Did you have to cut the uppermost fender brace?
Or were they already cut?

Re: 72 Suburban Build
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

Re: 72 Suburban Build
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.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
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.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
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.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
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.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
PVC starts to soften at 120*, not sure about ABS. I am sure the 400 mile run will prove its road worthyness.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
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.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
I hope you got your leak under control now.
Not sure if I missed it or what, but what engine do you have in your 'Burb?
