| bruiser suburban build
I'm trying for something a little different. I've seen jugg bruisers in F350 regular cab,4 door cab, Dulley style with and without snug tops. Wrangler bruisers and even k5 blazer bruisers just to name a few. So far I haven't seen a saburban bruiser. I started this project last Friday night with 2 new super clod bodys a bunch of plastic and foam. 1 almost perfect bruiser witch I cut in half ( would probably make some cry to see). So far this is what I've got. Still needs alot of body work. I'm waiting on anouther pair of frame rails so I can redo the frame. Then take it all back apart for paint and powder coat. I might make some better bumpers and add a winch. Setting back looking at it I wish the body was a little taller and wider. Any way give me some feed back.

I used the center of the hood from the cab I cut up. Took my small torch and warmed it so I could mold it into shape. Then I bonded it on and filled the hole with a piece of plastic. A little body putty and thats it. Thanks for the coments guys.

Now this is what I like to see, original and cool! As tempting as it is to run big tires I think narrowed goelanders would be just about perfect. |

I think your right on the geo's. Maybe the body would look a little more scale with smaller tires. I'll have to give that a try.

Man that looks like a great start for this rig. I myself have been working on a suburban body but it is so far from done. I will post pics if I can get the camera away from the wifey. I just have too many projects in the works so I have to spread my time between all of them........when I have it. I will keep my eye on this one |
