Project: Sub Urban Assult v2

[bonedust]

why v2 you ask? cause v1 saw better days...



sad days. frame bent in 6 places, completely ripped off both front wheels/suspension/arms/driveshafts, buckled the floor 8" in the cab and pushed the firewall in 10"...but i shall not cry with my giant head buried in a giant pillow. no, i will buy a better...newer...larger vehicle!!

enter v2!
06 3/4 ton, 8.1L, leather, power everything, dvd, nav, tow mirrors, loaded.



brought her home yesterday and immediatly debadged and got my black powdercoated H2 wheels on it. the centers are being Line-x'd...so they will go on this weekend along with N-Fab nerfs and these...




i was able to salvage the roof rack and lights, so once i track down some Escalade roof rails, ill remount it.

Holy Hell, when and where? You alright?

[bonedust]

it was on rt.94 about 3 miles south of rt.18. some lady turned in front of me and i broadsided her at about 55mph. sent me airborn, and i landed nose first in that ditch.

as far as i know, she is ok...im so-so. i have had the worst headache of my life for 2 solid weeks. i cant sleep at all. ive got some nerve pinch or damage in my c5 vert. i go back for testing next week. ill know more then.

i forgot to post the wheel pic

[tdrumm]

Sorry to see what happened to # 1, but # 2 is looking good already. What size and brand tire is that?

[mrwilliam]

Damn man.. Glade no one has any tubes sticking out of them.. I think you came out on top in the Ride dept. this will look tough.. i like the way those wheels mounted up. looks good.. and its a good thing you got the 8.1.. your going to need all that torq to push that bad ass bumper... look forward to watching this..

[midnight_rider]

Are you going to repaint it or keep it that color?

yep, they took it away last week.


i may paint it....im just not sure yet. the gold is growing on me kinda.

line-x'd n-fab nerfs and the bumpers will be going on this weekend!!!

[Nick Z71]

dude, thats nuts! i better hope you get all the roof rack and lights off your green burb! and dude, since this is all gun themed, please PLEASE paint it black! and dont do another grille like you did on the other one imo lol. But i hope you have better luck on this one! get that bumper on asap! bc it looks like you might need it haha.

[bonedust]

ya, im not repeating the all billet grill! lol

i did get the roof rack and lights off, but i am going to put on an Escalade roof rail system before i put the rack on this truck. its a sleeker lower profile rail...but i have to wait for new mounting for the rack. im also going to run 4 Lightforce 10" lights on the roof now with 2 black and 2 yellow covers. i dont know if im going to run the spare on the roof again, or custom build a swing away for the rear bumper. well see...

i just dont know if i want to go thru a color change. im wicked picky about stuff, and unless it gets stripped down to metal and the motor pulled...i KNOW i wont be happy with a color change. not to mention that amount of labor on a truck this size. plus, this thing is MINT...it would be a shame to trash a perfectly good paint job. i think it may be easier and more practical to 2-tone it with Line-X on the bottom. if i do decide to do a color change, im going to do the newer style front end, shave the gas door, gate, and rear door handles...but thats not currantly the plan. id rather spend that money on the 10-12" cognito kit and a Kenne Bell supercharger.

holy hell you have some BIG plans for this

[Nick Z71]

good lord dude, thats incredible. are you looking to adopt?

[AndyJ_o]

i like the tow mirrors on the burban. sweet ride man.

[bonedust]

thanks everyone!

im still wicked sore and in some pain from the accident (mmm delicious Vicodin) so i cant do too much yet...but i was able to get a friend to help me accomplish a few item

i had an extra grill laying around, and i wanted to test out how i felt about a black grill. i sanded and sprayed a coat of bedliner on it just as a tester. So far im liking it, and i think it will really offset the front bumper nicely. i think ive decided on doing the Putco widemouth grill. also threw some Ventshades on it...not cause i love how they look, but they do function very well. Hurray for Summit's yard sale, $14! We also 100% debadged the truck



we also got the rear bumper on. this turned out to be more or a PITA than expected. the OEM bolts were a bitch to get loose, which we expected. then the hitch was wicked bent...so we got it back in place (sorta, it is getting replaced soon). then we wrestled with getting the bumper aligned and square to the body. im not 100% happy with the gaps the Buckstop leaves. It cost an aweful lot to be sorta sloppy...but im picky about stuff like that. I may fix it, i may sell it and buy the ARB rear....well see. Buckstop also messed up and didnt cut the holes for the license plate lights correctly. I could grind them and make it work, but i think im going to machine my own lights, with a twist! I wired up the reverse lights so they look completely OEM added...cause im even more anal about wiring.


I also added 1.5" spacers to the rear wheels. now the front and rear track are the exact same width, and my H2 wheels covers will fit now.


3" body lift in 20 minutes?!? just rip off the runners! i wish i could leave them off, but i haul alot of stumpies.


Got the N-Fab's welded up (which is dumb to have to do, come on N-Fab!!), Line-X'd and ready for install on my day off Thursday. im also hoping to get the front bumper and lights installed Thurs as well.



I was hoping my Escalade roof rails would be here this week so i could get the basket on the roof....next week i guess

[FordeatinZ71]

nice work man! looking stellar, just like the old one was...

[Nick Z71]

looks awesome, im still trying to let the gold grow on me but its not working to good. i think you should add black flares instead of color matched ones

[AllBlkdOut07]

Damn dude, looks like she was the one with the assault vehicle, glad you're ok (except for the headache and some pain)

Love that bumper, can't wait to see it on. Can you have the centercaps painted black? Even a flat black... That might look cool.

im going to have them Line-X'd. i think you are right, they will look better in a contrasting color.

[91blkstpsd]

Burban is looking great man! Cant wait to see the front bumper on now! And do you still have those bullet handles?

Whats up with the N-Fabs though? They look like cheap exhaust bends there instead of mandrel?
I cant wait to line-x my Go-Rhino steps now!
