SUBURBICON, Urban Escape Vehicle.

I know the one thing I really wanted on my suburban was moving the fuel fill to the drivers side. Your at a good point to have that happen. After looking at mine really hard I found out I couldn't because I wanted the inside tire mount. As yours is now gone, you could swap it over to drivers side fill.

Now that would be nice but a whole lot of work.

Not as much as you would think given the point you are at right now. Flip the tank around 180 degrees, move the outside door/fill neck to the drivers side, done. The 40 gallon suburban tanks are almost completely "cubish" and shouldn't cause any interference especially with you lifting it.

Except I have already welded the sides and do to the fact that I bobbed the back I'm going with the 31 gallon tank.

Either way, still a VERY cool build. Are you moving the frame horns forward, or just making brackets to fit the existing frame to where you shorten it?

I was just looking at the pics a little more closely, it looks like the former tire recess, once it's back together, would make a perfect spot to put a 3 day style backpack/assault pack. Kinda like the Xterra's spot for a first aid kit.

Since I shortened it 13" the rear body mount lines up with the next body mount and with the 1" body lift I can leave out the rear body puck, plus im building tube bumpers.

Or a pair of optima batteries.

Most of the body is welded up and ready for some body filler.
