Yeah low is what i was shooting for. Belly height is 22''. The wheelbase is 130'' which is quite a bit longer than I wanted, especially with a 22'' belly, but surprisingly I dont have much trouble. Real steep, short ledges are the only trouble area, but it climbs hills so much better being long. my last rig was 115'' wb with 24'' belly and this one seems a lot more stable and def climbs better.

Yeah I hear that my last truck was a single cab yota. Doesn't work well when you're 6'2" 240.

Re: "Blacked Out" Colorado/Canyon Truggy build

I was wondering the same thing. I'm assuming it's a sheet of Lexan. ?? Can't get over how much I like this rig!!

Killer lookin truggy man, nice work!

What did you have to do to adapt the 4.3 (newer LS based 4.3) to the old th350?.......I know the older 4.3's bolted right up, but i think the crank depth changed with the LS based 4.3's.

There are no LS based 4.3s. All the way up to 2013 they were pretty much the same ol block as 1986 (minus the balance shaft). In 2014 GM has started using a LT based 4.3 with cylinder deactivation, torque management, and bunch of other non offroad friendly bullsh*t

Thanks for all the comments. Windows are all lexan. I just tinted the sides and rear. Welded Nuts on the inside of the cab for easy removal if/when I need to.

Re: "Blacked Out" Colorado/Canyon Truggy build

the lexan that covers the door area is just for hauling it incase it rains or something I don't wheel with the door section on

I like the fact that you didn't go the Taco or Ranger route, which there isn't anything wrong with those two, just kinda cool to see something you don't always see.
