Depends on the mounting method. Mine use angle-iron and mount to the bottom of the body mounts via a longer bolt. I had to make new mounts for the front to raise it two inches, but for the rear, all I had to do was drill a hole 2" higher on the bracket. So have you installed the body lift yet? We ex...

My wife and mother seem to be the problem with my truck. Every time they ride in my truck, the seatbelt manages to get twisted up.

Jeff024 had projector headlights on his CC before he sold it. I think he liked them. He mentioned one time that he thought the light was a bit brighter.

Check to make sure that the belts aren't twisted. They can be extremely difficult to pull if they're twisted going through the anchors.

Um...let me see, cut my grass; set my sprinklers for just once a day; spread winter grass seed, raise my home a/c from 74 to 78, dig out the sweatshirts for those harsh winter nights. Oh and most important of all refresh my defensive driving skills in preparation for all those incoming Snowbirds fr...

Revised TransferCase Swtich Thread in the Stock Mechanical / Drivetrain forum.

I ran those on my old 2wd Sonoma and I was impressed. They weren't as stiff as the ES9000's I have on my CC now, but they did offer a good balance of ride and handling. I would generally recommend them to anyone except hardcore offroaders.

1 - When I do the lift I saw in the instructions that I will have to remove my tow hooks. Are all kits the same? You don't have to remove the towhooks, except for the installation. The problem is that the tow hooks will now stick out at the bottom of the front valance, instead of through the holes ...

2" Body Lift Torsion Bar Crank in the front 2" Lift Shackles in the rear Skidz Cutout Fender Flares 15x8" Cragar Series 342 Black "Rockcrawler" wheels w/ 4" of backspacing BFG All Terrain TA/KO 31x10.5x15's I'm planning to go with 33x10.5x15's in the near future. http://lh3.google.com/walt.amason/RS...

I'd say go with 30x9.5x15. Rubbing shouldn't be a problem on stock wheels.

If you're planning to get a 2" body lift, wait until you do that, then do a mild torsion bar crank, and go with 31x10.5x15's.

Yes. Basically you can do the same thing with a 2x4 and a jack. Jack the truck up, wedge the block in there and let the jack down. The truck stays up and the axles angles are increased. :lol: That Sounds Like A Cheap Lift Redneck Style, I Ought Try That. :lol: If you're gonna do that, don't spend t...

Incase you're wondering, those are for covering up the frame after you install the 2" body lift.

It'll also ride like you've got 2x4's for suspension.

If you've taken off atleast 1.5" from the rear of the front fender, you shouldn't have any rubbing issues with 31x10.5's on 15x8 wheels with 4" of backspacing. I'm not 100% sure about larger tire sizes though.

When trimming the front fenders, you'll have to use a receiprocating saw. It would take many hours, and many more cutoff wheels to do it with a dremel.

A dremel would work fine for the rear fenders though.

Did they help you dress the deer David?

Hmm....you got me on this one. Maybe Brule or Steve will chime in before long.

Mine does that every now and then. I've never paid it much attention. It could be from a hard shift. Maybe the tranny shifting hard, and the belt slips slightly. That would be my guess.

Describe the chirp. Does it happen when the AC comes on, or turns off. Is it like a continuous squealing, or kinda like an alarm chirp?

Simply awesome.

Alright. Here's my suggestion, but it will be more than $100. Get a pair of Linksys WRT54G wireless routers. They run $50 per router. Then get a pair of cantennae (go to http://www.cantenna.com ). Your cousin will need to connect his cable modem to the WAN port on the back of his router. Then plug a...

Your best option would be to use higher gain/directional antennae. Also, I need more specifics. In the second building, is it a house, large single floor building, multiple floor building, etc..? I'm using a Linksys WRT54GL wireless router at home, and I've been able to network with my neighbor who ...

October 16, and still nothing. I emailed them last night. I'll post when I hear from them.

I prefer to use a rifle (30.06) in most of my hunting as well, but do have a shotgun for use when a rifle isn't practical.

Welcome!

Brule, you can always mail me a cd of the video files and I can post them

I don't mean to put a damper on things, but I think there is more chance of Justin (Bubaloo1983) producing some more flares for a group buy than there is for Bushwacker to design a new flare. I honestly don't know if Justin would even do it, but that seems like it has a better chance of succeeding--...

That's probably KCustom's truck. Superlift used his truck as a testbed for the prototype 6" S-10 lift. He molded his own flares, and almost started selling them. I've seen his truck photochopped into atleast half a dozen different colors. It's actually pewter.

I would stay away from them. It looks like they just help to stretch the front suspension. This will cause the same problems as aftermarket torsion bar keys. Ball joints, CV shafts/boots, camber adjustments, etc... Pretty much the only way to lift the front end beyond the limits of the stock torsion...

Razorback, check out this thread. Might help you in your lift plans, depending on what you want to do with your truck.

I don't know if Reed (F9K9) is still waiting for someone else, but Sonoma915 has a set of Skidz cutout flares for sale in the classifieds forum.

Brule, Reed, now that you both have put some miles on the BFG's, how do you think they measure up to the Yokohama AT's?

Reed, I had some similar trouble once with Midas. I've never gone back to one of their shops. I hope everything works out though. Is Wal-Mart considered to be a BFG authorized service center? That might be something to look into. I know many people don't have a high opinion of the local TLE, but min...

That's a good looking toolbox. I've been searching for a way to turn mine into a chest that will sit down in my bed so I can install a tonneau I got from Top.

Looks good man! It's been a while since I've seen one of those old style waffle grills

Rick, I'm interested. PM me with payment details and such.

So you were able to fit the 12" sub behind the back seat? Does it latch?

I'd suggest as close to 5" as you can get. 4.75" rear spacing should work well with a 7" wheel. Plan on some rubbing though. Mine was driveable, but rubbed quite a bit with that combination. Yea, you'll probably need to do some fender massaging to eleminate rubbing on the rear of the front fenders.

While I do think they're much stronger than they look, I would question their strength in a bottom impact, or side impact situation. Say you hit a dip offroad, and the from of the truck slammed into the ground, I think it would probably bend both sets of supports.

On stock wheels, 2" spacers on the rear line the tires up with the fenders the best IMO.

I have a WAAG Sportster (Pushbar) on mine. It mounts the same way as the WAAG brushguards.

Beautiful! Is that just a body lift? What size is that? Thanks. :) 2" body lift, torsion bar crank in the front, 2" lift shackles in the back, Skidz Fender Flares, 31x10.5x15's. 33's will come in the future. For now, check out F9K9's gallery for pics. He has roughly the same setup as I do, except h...

I think the roof rack, bedrails, nerf bars, and safari bar will look good with matching black wheels.

I have to agree, black definitelly goes better with yellow than chrome IMO.

I think the black wheels would look awesome. Then you just need to color everything else that is chrome, like the bumpers and grille crossbar.

It has survived an impact from a car being floored in reverse from 15 feet away without a scratch. :) :shock: Steve I was behind a lady in a Buick Skylark, and she tried to pull out on to the highway, only to realize that she couldn't make it, so she puts the car into reverse, and floored the gas e...

A great way to cook camping is wrap in Aluminum foil potatoes, carrots, ground beef into balls (size of small meat balls) and a teaspoon of margarine, place on hot coals from fire for 20 minutes and presto you will have a single serving meal.

Your Grille Guard mounts exactly the same way my sportster does, and It has survived an impact from a car being floored in reverse from 15 feet away without a scratch.

They're sending UPS to pick up mine, and will ship the bonics upon receiving the returned items.

You could go with some bedliner material.

Yea, I'm gonna put plugs in the holes in the exhaust manifolds to bypass the useless thing. I didn't ask about the injector. The tech used the term "bad injector" so that could mean several things.

I agree. Definitelly check for pinched wires, both power and speaker wires.

BADs Crew wrote:...I just don't know how some one can do this to another person’s child.

I know what you mean. It's beyond me, especially since that guy had kids of his own....

Awesome Hobie! Congrats!

Just an update. I took the truck to the dealer, and a bad injector was found to be the culprit. Now the truck has noticeably more power through the RPM range, but the difference at low RPMs is only barely noticeable.

While I do love lifted trucks, I also like sport trucks. By sport trucks, I don't mean lowriders, I'm mean something similar to the Silverado SS. Stylish, lowered, fast, but functional as well.

The really sad thing is this: How did the kid gain access to that gun? In most cases, the gun belongs to a parent, and is not properly secured. This won't help if the kid gets the gun from a friend, or finds it. In those cases, it's still up to the parents to try to teach him/her to respect firearms...

A deer maybe?

I included both. The catalog/item number for the cloths is the same as the one online. Hopefully they'll do something about it.

Reed, I just got some lense cleaning cloths. I'm gonna email them now. Did you ever hear anything back?

SuperStrap.com . Nuff said IMO :) http://www.superstrap.com/mistore/ART/products/109357/smallstrapL.jpg http://www.superstrap.com/mistore/ART/products/109357/bigdaddyL.jpg They're pretty expensive, but worth it.

IMO, if you're going to run large Chrome wheels, I'd remove as many black accessories as possible. This will also give the trucka clean look. Safari Bar, Bed Rails, Roof Rack. Maybe paint or buy a body colored hood shield. Paint the flares yellow, and ditch the black door guards. Debadge the truck, ...

Very good analogy Brule. It's a trade off. I've used the yellow tops before, and installed many in customer's vehicles when I worked at Audio Central. I warned each customer, but most of them wanted it because it was the famed Yellow Top. I recently purchased a Red Top 34/75 (If that's not the model...

I don't frequent really bad roads everyday, so that may help me some. I just had the front driver's side bearings replaced several months ago, so those are out of the way.

This coming february will be a year since I put my aftermarket wheels on. They're similar to yours--8" wide with 4" of backspacing, wrapped in 31x10.5x15's. No balljoint problems yet, but only time will tell.

I doubt they'll make the same mistake twice tho.

GRRRRR

My dealer already had the stainless cables as of a few weeks ago, so others shouldn't be to far behind if they haven't received them.

My T-bars have been cranked to the max (was that way when I bought the truck) and I've had two CV boots come loose and sling grease. I have an arrangement with my dealer to have them replaced at no cost, but they're normally $100+. Stretching the front suspension will also accelerate wear and tear o...
