Blazer's 85 Suburban "Twinkie"
- Thread starter kgblazerfive
- Start date
Really tempted to make the fronts open.
That's kind of what I was thinking. A tube from the bend at the cowl passing through the X in the masking tape down to the rock slider. Then a tube coming up from the slider tying into the B pillar.

Obviously, in orange
This is the best I could come up with...
I shall critique tomorrow. I'm dead tired
Oh I missed the horizontal tube on the bottom. Tie them into it and have a little node tying into the slider where they meet.
I was thinking this also.
Do what FSFW said...like this
Hmm kind of like that.
It looks better in orange... lol

The orange?
Yeah we all agree on orange
Not the Orange 
So I am liking this alot think it may be the way I am going. Ignore the two bars I already put in the second row. The bottom will be moved up to where the tape is. The top one made to what the tape is.

So as a side note Utah just voted to stop safety inspections. Not sure what that quite means yet the Governor still has to sign it wont take effect until January 2018 but Twinkie may be back on the road not as a ATV.
"Stock" suburban.
Safety first.
My kid wants to do window nets not sure how I feel about that yet.
The triangulation sucks...
Once you use them a few times in critical situations you'll be sold. It's a pretty secure feeling to know that if you try to do the catch yourself with your hand routine in a roll the worst that can happen is that you get a bruised up hand. I don't use them often in the buggy now but they are nice to have when I do.
You MUST support the A Pillar bend at the roof. NO QUESTIONS about that.
Bring what ever vertical or near vertical bar down (creates the old vent window area) to the "rocker" bar. Then pick a slope and clearance for the upper door bar that you want and makes it easy for you to get in and out. Once you have those figured out tie the Nodes into the rocker bar and add triangulation where it seems like it's needed.
Think something like that picture of the Trent Fab buggy.
