2 door tahoe build, Tre5 Customs

YOU ROCK!  Actually, I'm really talking about the rock in the first and last pictures randomly just holding the carpet back.   

That is a big ass rock...   ....seems to be moving along nicely again now that you have the infamous Rear End

The rock is my "Wilson" he has been with me for most of the build. I talk to him often.

I have an "R2D2" like that.

Maybe that is why mine just sits there. Actually, I cut and flared the fuel/evap lines underneath today. It is always fun trying do double flares on your back with gas pouring out on top of you.

Got all the links and rear mounts welded up today...  

Great work. This hydraulics stuff is pretty cool how it makes cars go up and down like that!   for real though you should shoot for a tech article in Minitruckin! Keep up the nice work we need more like it out there.. Hope to see it rollin around the valley soon.......

Some work from the weekend. I took the crossmember out for the lower links and plated and fully welded the link pivots. I then put some black paint on it. I left the edges bare because I need to weld it back into the frame. I also painted the cylinder mount crossmember. The axle also got some welding time. I plated in the link pivots and welded all of the axle tabs up. Then got to painting the axle as well. I also got some paint on the front end. Lastly I started boxing in the rear of the frame. The 2X4 frame rails are now tied all the way to the bridge. Hopefully tomorrow I will be 100% finished will all the frame work. I just need to get the 2 crossmembers welded in, finish boxing the frame, and get the gas tank crossmember back in. Then I can run fuel lines and bolt everything back up, then comes sheet metal work. It will be close, but it will be making the cruise to the pines.  

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by tre5The cylinders are mounted upside down using the threaded sleeves and bushings that are available through hydroholics.net.--------------------------------------------- i was trying to figure out how they were mounted by looking at the pictures but now i see, it looks so clean. you guys at hydroholics really created something cool with the sleeves. like someone said before, checking out all of your guys builds have really made me sure that i want to go with juice in my next project or possibly just go with juice if i re-do/BD the blazer. and i will definently be ordering my complete setup from HYDROHOLICS.NET. keep up the awesome work!
