SUBURBICON, Urban Escape Vehicle.

Thanks everyone, as far as the 1/4 windows go, I need to finish the roof rack so that I can put the windows and interior in, my plans are to put the lexan out in the heat to get some curve in it, then cut it to fit, if im not happy with the lexan then I can use them as a template for the water jet.

What kind of HID lights are those?

if you were closer I'd laser cut 'em for you.

Interested to see how you rig up the actuator to open and close that. I am guessing you plan to use some kind of wristed arm?

Not sure what brand they are, got them from a store that was moving, I paid $40. Each, they are the same ones you find at the big chain auto parts stores with the red rings.

That would be great, I would love to travel and meet everyone here.

The actuator in the picture has the reach that I need but I might get creative.

They look like the rugged ridge ones...interested to hearing how they do...

Subscribed... I want to do something similar to a 99 suburban. I love the bob.

Thanks, im waiting on some parts for the rack but should get some work done this weekend.

 

[D Rat]

Got enough of the parts to get it tacked together and bolted to the roof, I used 1" solid rubber between the rack and roof to help with vibration and noesis, still waiting on the vertical E track for the outside of the rack, even though it's just tacked together I was able to jump around on the top rack.
Still need to mount the actuator.

so pretty...

 

[D Rat]

Got the actuator mounted today, seems to be working really well.

Here's the link to the video.

Perdy dang cool.

 

[beags86]

Good god that is cool...

 

[y5mgisi]

Great work!

 

[D Rat]

Thanks.

Here's a video of the actuator in action, the rear tab is only tacked in and still needs some bracing as you can see in the video.

Wow, looks like that was the perfect amount of stroke. You just happened to have that lying around huh?

 

[K85 Octane]

Sweet

are you going to do a cover for the back of the lights, while they are laid forward?

 

[76zimmer]

nicely done! I've always loved pop up lights!
