Not bad, what are those wheels off of?

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Watch those rear veiws very carefully.They will arrest you for stealing that one.
Cool ride for the family and a great name by your kids.

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Thanks they are off of a Nissan Titan/Armada. Had to open the centers up to fit but they look nice.
Hahah... too true everyone I run across that wants to know the story on the Coolbus says I got a killer deal.

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Tinted it today... 5% for all but the front two and vent windows those were done at 20%. It turned out pretty good for my first tint job ever! I did learn that the area to be tinted has to be SUPER SUPER clean... I have a few spots that dont look so well... we will see how they hold up over time.

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Look good, I wish we could go 20% on the front. State law says no more than 50% here.

All it needs now is an altitude adjustment.:D

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Oh I know it... I am saving up for the bags right now. Im debating if I should notch the frame at the same time or wait.

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

You might as well do it while you're in there. If you use the bolt-in notch, it'll have to go between the frame and the top of the bag.

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Nice burb. I tinted my windows the same way, you'll be happy with it. Also, when you're baggin' it, take it one step at a time as money comes.

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Finally an update!!
Well I have been saving up slowly but surely and finding killer deals on parts. It will be bagged starting next Monday!!! But for now I just cut the springs up front and put on some 20"s I got a deal on just to get an idea of how it would look. Its gonna lay frame when all is said and done and I couldn't be happier!

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Looks great. I think it would really pop with a white roof.

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Looks rewally good

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Funny you should mention that....it had crossed my mind recently!

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Getting lower!!! Need to cut the bumpstops, run the air lines, install rear bags... etc etc.

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Really like your 'burb.

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

That is one awesome ride....I hope to pick my family up in one someday!!!

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

I know where there is a nice one in SC :haha:

That 'burb is looking really great!!!

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Looks good. can't wait to get the front end finished on my frame and get some sheetmetal on it.

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

That is one sweet burb you got there, I love the fact its got all its original trim.

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

The burb is looking real good!! :metal:

Re: 68 Suburban Coolbus Build/maintain.
 

Awesome find and great progress

I'm jealous, I really want to get a burb as a family hauler and you got such a killer deal on yours. It will probably be a few years before I'm ready to buy one, but figure when I do, I'll make a family vacation out of making a trip down to the SW to find a good condition one like yours!
