Re: Blenali????

It's bad ass, but I have no idea why they would take a Suburban (yukon XL) sized frame then cut it down to fit the Blazer body.

To preserve the Suburban suspension? They modified all that anyway

Why not just use the Blazer chassis? Anyway it's cool, I did it and clearly some high level craftsmanship

Re: Blenali????

Maybe they thought it would be easier to keep the IFS and coils in the back. I think the Denali is also an AWD vehicle.

I am scared by the sheet metal work and the amount of bondo they added. Looked pretty thick!

Still cool idea at the end of the day.
