My bobbed Suburban hatchback build.

[kellyjohn]

Should be a great get together!!!

I am pumped to see this thing in person in a few days

Thanks!
Clock is ticking!!
Can't believe how fast this seems to have come up.

Still a long list of things I'd like to have done before Friday........
Just like most of the guys that will be in attendance, I assume..??

Whatever is not done won't matter!!

 

[swettysblazer]

Well, I'm leaving today, so whatever isn't done is staying unfinished haha

 

[Raiderblaz]

I think this will work.
Still don't know how to post the actual video pic in the viewer window like the rest of you guys...

The ZZ383 boasts 425hp at the flywheel.

I'm running the 700R4 highly modified, ORD doubler, 513's and the silly looking Scorpion radials on 22" alum. rims.

1st run was a mere 248hp at the wheels

Final run was significantly improved 290hp, and I still have dual catalytic converters installed.
---soon to be removed....!!!
This should just put me over the 300 mark.

I'm pleased with that!

Heck ya that is what I saw with mine on the Dyno about a 30% to 32% loss in HP from the Flywheel to the ground! They weren't kidding about the original HP numbers of your motor for sure! I can't figure out the Video stuff either, lol. I put bling 38" on mine to work on before so I know your feeling with the pimp tires on your beast, just not right! Lol I am away from home for another 2 weeks and did not get my video of the Dyno run downloaded before I left so I will post it in my build thread when I get it. Made me nervous on the Dyno seeing it scream!! Lol

Just a couple weeks before the Dunes run we were crawling!

These pics are from a favorite spot up north.

It was the 1st chance Kelly had to test the OX locker.
We also were able to actually use the tent in the back country!

Met up with friends we wheel with regularly.
The pickup is one sweet rig!

 

[kellyjohn]

Kelly drove a line she hasn't been able to do previously.

The locker made a big difference!!

 

[kellyjohn]

I was able to finally climb the spot I use for my Avatar.

this one has been a mission to complete.
Made it up!!!!!

 

[kellyjohn]

A little further

I hope the pics show just how steep this is....
The view was straight up to the ceramics on the hydro tower.
This was soooo cool to finally get up!

 

[kellyjohn]

couple more.

Adrenaline, I love it!

Except for the part that makes your feet dance on the pedals.

 

[kellyjohn]

This little machine is an incredible climber.

Another friend we run with frequently.
This thing is unstoppable---just point it and go....

 

[kellyjohn]

Another challenging climb.

different line for different wheel base.

 

[stockk5]

awesome pictures,, i need to get out more!

 

[y5mgisi]

Looks like a rush!

 

[76zimmer]

great extra curiculars John!

 

[kellyjohn]

That's the truth Dave!

Wish I could stick with 1 hobby though!

 

[natemc]

Wish I could stick with 1 hobby though!

Same problem here. These pics bring me back into the mindset again. Right now I've got hunting, mountain bikes('cause of hunting), fitness and the most important of them all. A pregnant wife about to burst.
All in all though, I think I'm gonna have to take the Limo out for a camping trip.

 

[kellyjohn]

too much to do and enjoy!

Too Little Time!!

Congrats again for your growing family!!
I assume all is well so far...?

 

[NorCal69]

This is such a sweet pic. What a beautiful place to wheel.

 

[kellyjohn]

Thanks Mike!

This is such a sweet pic. What a beautiful place to wheel.

It's a favorite spot to go 1 or 2 times a year.
It's the only place some of our wheeling friends will go.

Your bumper work looks amazing by the way!!!

Great pics! We used to have a cool trail to run when we lived in B.C.
It was under the powerwires too! Loved that trail!

Your two rigs are awesome and obviously reliable to take them on long distance trips, Beat the snot out of them and then do it again!

Your buddy's Green truck with the trailer looks sweet too!
I like the look of it especially the box!

 

[kellyjohn]

He has had that truck around 20 years...

Thanks Max02!
The goal when we were building them was to make them reliable enough to travel, wheel, and be able to get home...Tough combination to build....!

I made all the box panels for my buddies truck a while back and he went to town on it for the remainder.

It's a Cool rig for sure!!
