[03catburban]

Would anybody be interested in seeing a thread on this build so far ive 4wd to 2wd chassis swap, front clip swap, lowered, and soon 5 speed

But there is some really nice 800s here so my ugly duckling doesn't quite fit in. Lol

Well here goes dont have alot of good pics because i never thought id be needing them for a build thread.

Anyways the suburban started off as my grandparents but when my grandfather passed away everyone wanted my grandmother to sell it but i told her i want it so i ended up getting it for free.

Went through all my pics and this is the very first and bad pic followed by first wash during and after. btw the pics hide dirt good since it hadnt been washed in probably 2 yrs




Next up was to try to polish the badly oxidized hood i dont have before pic but i do have one after 2k grit wet sand and after polish, also changed wheels and sanded/clear all lens

And thats how it stayed for a while till i finally decided to make it 2wd and put a DJM 3/5 kit on it. As for the 2wd swap I just so happened to have a 03 Avalanche 2wd that was my daily. And one friday after i decided to do a chassis swap and be done by sunday. so started 5pm on a friday and with help was driving both home saturday at 10pm its was between 14-16hrs worth of work
