While being a part of the Alta Loma California community, Fabian Casillas has picked up on many customizing ideas. Being involved in the sport of “friends don’t let friends drive stock” Fabian is no rookie, ever since he was 15 he’s been cutting up his rides. Fabian was born with the “car guy” genetics and having already built such vehicles as a ‘54 VW, a ’71 Blazer, and an Astro Van, It was time to bring out the big dawg! The next project would take the show scene by storm, a 1993 Chevy Suburban. Of course being from Cali and having a 2wd vehicle, the first thing that Fabian would have to do in order to be a cool guy, would be to loose the ride height. In doing so, he decided to go to the extreme. The first thing that was done to achieve this would be to notch out the front frame. Along with the notching, tubed A-arms where made to get the front too truly lay out.

After getting the front set up to lay out using Tokico shocks along with Firestone airbags, it was time to get the move on to the rear. In order to get the rear down, Fabian monster notch the frame rails to insure that there would be plenty of clearance between the frame and the axial while laid out. To hold up the Tokico shocks and Firestone airbags, custom brackets where fabricated. Now that the Burban was lying on the ground things just weren’t right. Now, Fabian being a kind of guy that likes to venture into his own world, and try things out on his own was visioning something spectacular. Why not take the next step of the low process and set the body on the pavement? With the help of a couple friends, that is exactly what happened. In order to get it to truly lay out, the gas tank had to be shortened 5 inches and relocated a tad-bit higher. Now that all was accomplished it was time to tub out the rear wheel wells in order to fit the “soon to be bolted up” 20 inch wheels.
