I got a few scratches in my back bumper about 2 months ago- my mother-in-law pulled up behind my Blazer, in my driveway, and proceeded to rear-end it! :lol: In her new Caddy no less which took the brunt of the damage-@5 grand. Like I said it only scratched my bumper each side of the plate and under ...

Don't feel too bad, we just traded the Yukon ( '02 loaded w/41k mi) on a Land Rover LR3( what she wanted) and only got $ 16k

. But she made me a deal that in 2 yrs when I pay off the Harley I can buy another TRUCK!

chumley

I read somewhere, maybe a bumper sticker, anyone can restore a classic car but it takes a real man to cut one up! Sweet truck and where's the burnout pics???

chumley

Do you have any experience/ knowledge with Trimble? The company I work for has it on most of our heavy equiptment and all the excavation foreman (what I do) have a "rover" which is a portable unit that we do surveying with. It is truly awesome stuff when you can grade roads and retention basins and ...

chumley

You use OD with your 33's? Mine's pretty much useless unless I'm on a flat stretch of highway. You probably have at least 3.73's? I think I only have 3.42(?)'s, which is OK for the amount that I use the truck.

chumley

I think I used straight ammonia in a spray bottle when I peeled mine with a razor blade and I don't remember it being too difficult. But that was several years ago. Worth a try, even though this is an old post.

chumley

Yeah, mine ( front) only stuck out an inch and a half and he broke my chops about it. He even took down the # of the inspection station that inspected it and was going to give them crap. A little overzealous

I had my wife and kids with me too. Nothing better to do I guess.

chumley

It was this weekend 1 yr ago that Johnny Law pulled me over and told me my tires stuck out too far. That led me to searching the web for 4-dr Blazer flares, which led me to Bubbaloo and this site :D I guess its a good thing I put those cheap flares on instead of waitin' on Bubbaloo to have the 4-dr ...

chumley

I guess its just personal preferance but I always went black out. I think it makes the tires look bigger. My Blazer had white out when I bought it and I turned them in when I bought the new rims.

chumley

$59 for front pads, $53 for rear at Carquest ( ceramic) Done in @ 1.5 hrs

I wouldn't mind owning a Harley and a BMW someday if I were rich. I'm not rich, just makin' payments. Thanks for getting the pic up for me HJ I messed with that for an hour. I like that FXD, Chumley Thanks Pauleo. It's easy to keep it looking nice when it just sits in the garage under a cover. But ...

Big Blazer??? as in K5??
They are available as surplus CUCVs from the military.. We just got a bunch of them here at work. They are '79 models geared very low

Sorry I meant my big S10 Blazer ( in sig. line)

chumley

Back to the subject, I wouldn't mind having the option of a turbo diesel in the big Blazer!

chumley

My first vehicle when I got my license 21 years ago was a 1964 Chevy shortbed stepside w/ a Hi-torque 230 and 3-on the tree. I beat the crap out of that truck and it never broke. Oh the memories

Paid $350 for it and definately got my moneys worth out of it.

chumley

You mean you're launching in 4wd then disengaging to 2wd at WOT? That can't be good for the t-case, can it?

chumley

Only cost $42.50, emission exempt, under 5k miles.

Will need to do brakes soon,did a search and sounds like I need ceramic pads. Probably go w/ NAPA ( HJ-approved). Maybe I'll even give it a bath today since it's so nice outside. Getting to be scooter-ridin' temps here!

chumley

Me too!

chumley

How many guys does it take to change one of those tires? I'd hate to remove that spare without a crane or something!

chumley

My wife rolled her 4Runner onto its side with those piece of crap tires on a wet road and she was pregnant with my son! Thank God they were both OK but got some AT/S's soon after that.

My little brother (30 yrs old) has been working on my dad's old 72 Cuda for @ 6 yrs now. He has many hours into it himself and he just got it back from the painter, finally, after about 1.5 years between the guy that did the resto metal work ( Foose wanna-be) and the painter. He has over 20K in meta...

chumley

I think I remember reading somewhere on the Moog BJ's, maybe on the box or on their website its only a 1- yr warranty not lifetime, but I'd have to check on that. I haven't put mine in yet as it was the front wheel bearings that were bad not the BJ's. They're still sitting on my workbench in the gar...

chumley

GO BIG!!!!!

What he said!

chumley

If you only want to fit 31's under your truck you don't need to spend $2500 plus on a suspension lift

. Just do the body lift and if you aren't satisfied with that check out HJ's Mystery Lift- still much cheaper than a SL and less headaches also

chumley

Hmmm... Sport-trac to have 4.6 V-8 in 2007

chumley

Something else to think about- bias ply tires and cold= flat spots. I've had several sets on different vehicles. The humming never bothered me, actually kinda liked it. But the first 5-10 min. on a cold morning always sucked until the tires warmed up and the flat spots went away. Just my .02

chumley

I often wondered about this. I know it is not good to run 2 diff. size tires on the same axle. I imagine it would be more of an issue on the rear axle but probably on the front also if 4wd is engaged. All of my prior trucks before this one had at least 35's on it. Most I didn't have a full size spar...

chumley

397's look good- I'm with JeffC, seems like 342's are like belly buttons...

chumley

Haven't had any problems since but like I said I don't drive it that much since I have a company truck. Probably only 3 or 4 tanks of gas since October. Still haven't needed to put in the Moog BJ's but I've got them for WHEN I need them.

chumley

Thats not a bad looking truck! I guess it comes with the 260 or 270- something HP V-6 also?

chumley

I was seriously looking at the Xterra when I found my Blazer. 3" bl plus 3"sl and 35's

I just couldn't find one for under 10k. Got the Blazer for less than that already lifted. I was hoping to find an Xterra SC lifted with some goodies for @10k but that just didn't happen

Cool trucks though IMO

chumley

That black smoke pouring out those stacks looks flippin' sweet!!!

chumley

I'm with George- definately ugly. I think the Avalanche is also less than good looking unless it has at least 35's under it

Maybe the Ridgeline will look better w/ some 33's or bigger? We'll see.

chumley

The KO's also have sidewall lugs to them where the old AT's didn't. I'm not sure but I think the tread pattern may be slightly different also.

chumley

It has an FF6 and FF7 code, torsion bar adjustments E and F respectively

Anyone else have 2 torsion bar RPO codes?

chumley

Kinda like the 5.0 Mustang

Sorry couldn't resist!

chumley

Just for fun I ran thru my RPO codes this morning, hoping I would find something cool or interesting. :D Nothing really but one I'm a little confused. It has an FF6 and FF7 code, torsion bar adjustments E and F respectively. Which is it, which is better( heavier?) Another I chuckled about was ZW7, P...

We got Verizon fiberoptic back in the spring, as they ran the lines thru our development last winter. LOVE IT!!! Was thinking about cable but our provider, Comcast, already gets enough of my money for T.V. FiOS is @ $42 a month but it is also supposed to be faster than cable. I DO know that it absol...

chumley

Sooo, how cold does it get in SoCal in the winter?

chumley

Hey BobbleSmitty- if I lived a little closer to you I'd gladly help you with your problem!

chumley

One of the guys I work with has an early 90's S-10 , replaced his clutch at @180k (not sure if it was the orig) and was up around 190k last time I saw him about mid summer. THAT is one of the reasons I bought my Blazer. Another buddy has a 2000 Ranger with @ 200k and I'm pretty sure it still has the...

chumley

so 3 months is pretty much the time frame, :lol: :roflmao: I heard that in June. Unfortunately I had to buy the extend-a-flares to keep from getting hassled by local 5-0. Guess they didn't have anything else to do. But I do have to thank Bubaloo for one thing, without finding him in my search for f...

chumley

I bought a Sony 53" almost 5 years ago now and if it died tomorrow it would not owe me a dime. That tv is on sometimes 12 hrs a day on the week-ends between me and the kids. I'd definately buy Sony again. I have also had good luck with 2 smaller JVC's- one 20+ years old, still kicking.

chumley

I got a Craftsman, don't remember how much it was, $70-80? Don't use it all that much but it works good and beats trying to cut something in a tight spot with just a hacksaw blade( am I the only one who has ever done this?)

chumley

My .02, before I would spend the $$ on a SL for your IFS I would go SFA.It might cost you more up front but IMO it'll be less headaches. I just dumped $1100 into my IFS for l & r hub assemblies, idler arm and an alignment- and it only sees pavement :cry: . If you want to do a SL consider this. Ask Q...

chumley

I think Bubaloo could use the business right about now.

chumley

Any news??

chumley

C'mon, ludwis. Don't you know everything's BIGGER IN TEXAS???

chumley

I don't know which is shinier, the rims or the tires

chumley

Dropped from 2.53 yest. morning to 2.28 this morning at a local Wawa. Hope they keep dropping

chumley

Front winch mount and tube bumper $600 , Rear bumper with spare rack and hitch $900. Axles , geared with air lockers $3000, tires and wheels $1000. Labor usually runs more than parts, so I'd guess around $12k all together OOOFFFF!!!!! I would guess he REALLY likes his CC and plans on keeping it for...

chumley

How much money is this swap costing you? Ballpark is O.K.

chumley

Gotcha! But I'm hoping it won't give me anymore grief, I only put 1500 mi. on it since I bought it in March

chumley

Well its too late to do it this time, unfortunately. I can't be without it , the next couple weeks are shaping up to be hectic with soccer practices, games andmake-up games not to mention all the other crap. I need it back tonight, didn't hear from him yesterday. But you can bet I won't put another ...

chumley

That does look awesome! How much $$ tied up in the swap?

chumley

UPDATE: dropped off the Blazer at my buddy's shop with the Moog ball joints( the same one who did the lift for the P.O.) Saturday since the wife & I went away for an anniversary get-away weekend. Figured it would be a good opportunity to get things taken care of since I haven't had the time. He call...

chumley

Is this finally going to work?

chumley

Man am I jealous. Hmmmm.....

chumley

I haven't been out yet but my buddies I hunt with have been. Another guy that hunts the same farm we do and his stand is @ 200 yds from mine shot a nice 10 pointer last Thurs. night . My buddy told me he said it came from the direction of my stand :cry: Guess ya gotta be in the woods to see 'em right?

chumley

done and done

Dealerships are scumbags! My wife bought a FULLY loaded Yukon-'02. Had it for several months, winter rolls around, defroster doesn't work (kinda important in winter, no?) Service mgr treats her like a dumb woman, gives her a hard time while she's at work- he calls her and gives her crap b/c she hasn...

chumley

Yes I meant camber, sorry HJ. I did get the Moog BJ's but haven't gotten them in yet. Better get them in soon by the sounds of things. No I haven't had an alignment recently but after I close the deal for the " new" scooter I can afford to do the BJ's and alignment. Just right now money and time are...

chumley

I did back off the t-bars and the tires are toed out at the bottom. It feels like the suspension is super soft. I guess its a good thing I don't drive it all the time or I'd be doing the sfa REAL soon!

chumley

Okay I've been having some issues with my front end. When I hit a bump going straight it seems like the suspension bottoms out and the front tires make a squawk. If I hit a bump while turning it does the same-feels like it wants to wash out. I removed the bumpstops which were only 1/2 inch from the ...

1 week until opening day of archery and I still don't have my license. I gotta get my butt in gear!

chumley

yah i have been looking at the blazers for tooling thoughts ect and it will be fun to make

Thought you'd have them by the end of summer

chumley

BADs crew- do you even drive that thing as clean as that looks? I'm with JeffC, I get under my truck and paint it all- frame, rear and front susp. with $.99 spray bombs every couple months. Keeps it looking nice. I've done this for every truck I've owned for 20 years.

chumley

plus it became a pain to drive

How do you mean?

chumley

I'm new here but I gotta know- Warn why did you sell your CC? That's a badazz lookin' truck. I just got rid of an 03 SD and got my Blazer but I got a company truck and didn't use the SD anymore. Anyways the CC is one sweeeet looking ride!

chumley

Where ya from in PA?
