Doug118’s “that poor Suburban”

[Doug118]

Let’s start from the beginning. This is going to be just a few pictures from each “phase” of the truck. Started as a $2700 bone stock auction score. 220k miles. Was repo’d from the previous owner and only ended up needing a water pump

Immediately put what was at the time the biggest stereo I’ve done

Ran into electrical issues so I tore everything out and ended up lowering the truck and doing a much smaller stereo setup. Also found some super cheap 24’s with tiny tires. Ended up breaking a wheel in less than 1 mile

went from 3 15’s to 4 15’s and the next day the DOD lifters locked up on the truck. Tore the engine down and rebuilt it

Shortly after that I had the frame notched in preparation for the big build to come. Covered the windows in insulation and rerouted the rear ac to the back of the truck

This is how the truck sat for about 6 months then I did some more upgrades

Did the Escalade cluster and ran into problems with the roof ripping so I swapped the roof for a non sunroof one. I did about 3/8” of sound deadener because putting the new roof on. Much easier this way

Roof swapped and found a cool color for the inside of the box
