Re: A Suburban Joins The Herd

Re: A Suburban Joins The Herd

Dino,
You couldn't stand to put the gmc logo on the front could you? Chevy only! what's the deal with the shims on the rear end? I just ordered my trailing arms and will be running the whole trailing arm dropmember eventually. So I'm curious how I'll need to properly set it up? Thanks and the billet style grill looks clean!

I ran a setup like that back in the day with my cd player. I just ran a headphone jack to RCA into the crossover and ran a switch for the amps.

Can't wait to see it, sounds bad ass.

Re: A Suburban Joins The Herd

Congrats on the first drive!!

I remember my first drive. It was me and my boy sitting on seats that were retained only by the force of gravity and the seatbelts were in a pile in the back. We were a moving violation, but we didn't care. After that much time I was glad the thing was able to get a ticket on the road.

No offense to your shop man, but that thing looks way cooler on the road!! Nice job!!
