i havent been able to find any pic of the suburban on 35s.
but this is what the truck looked like as of 2002 just finished the body swap to the ranger.
then was having cooling problems even with putting the explorer raidator in. so i built a new front clip and put a raidator from a 6.2 deisel in 2005. and started collecting parts in 2006 and started work on what you see now in spring of 2008
pic 1 ranger
pic 2 reworked front clip fror the diesel raidator
pic 3 4 5 just as i got done and ready for the frist trail test
pic 6 what happend on the frist test drive
pic 7 8 what i did to get it back on the trail and increase safty for roll overs
