Sorry for the lack of updates. There really isnt any as of now. I managed to get some of the interior in. Its going to be hard to try and get the seats mounted up. I may have to chop them really small and make a panal to mount them too. Well this is the way it sits now.



I went to a comp the other weekend and i didnt make it 5 yards as soon as i got there and i took a little roll and i broke the axle shaft coming out of the portal. Thanks to Dean i have some sitting here but i have to get the time to install them. I have some other goodies coiming so once they get here ill try and put up some updates. I have started on my 1/1 dream truck i have been wanting to build it for 7yrs now. And me and my girlfriend are about to have our first little one here in a couple of weeks so i wont have that much time for the hummer with my little girl and my 1/1 truck.

Thanks Keith.



The hummer is tore down right now I managed to get more lift out of the front end. Why I don't really know. Lol but I bought some gpm arms for it and the uppers suck. They fell apart on me twice so out they went. Besides the stock ones have way more travel. I found a way to get even more travel out of the front end but while its apart I'm going to put a new tub on her and do a full tear down and clean and paint the susp so it all matchs then throw some new paint on the body.

Updates coming

[chino63]

Can't wait to see it! The increase in lift might reduce the max steering angle and probably wear the CV's faster. I left it alone for reliability good luck with it though.

BTW, I might build another one soon.

Yeah I didn't think about the cv's lol and so far what I did I had to shim the steering and blend alittle more on the skid plate. I plan on making a whole new metal lower skid and lower ARM mounts when we slow down at work. And Hell yeah on building another one. I doubt ill go back to a solid axle rig I love these cc-01 to damn much.
