Pics?

_STUCKY

Started a new project. It's not quite done yet, but it's alot better than what was there. It was only me and my dad working on it. Wednesday: http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/_STUCKY/other%20stuff/C3EF8FC8-B0CA-4FB8-A54B-27F2122F288F.jpg Thursday: http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/_ST...

_STUCKY

Lockers are awesome

_STUCKY

Thanks. Looks good. I'm probably gonna have to lose the flairs.

_STUCKY

Attica bound! Come wheelin' with me!

_STUCKY

K5 tank is approximately 28-1/4 wide and 29-1/2 long. I wasn't able to measure height on the truck, measured someone else's truck, but can get a measurement if you think it'll fit. Haven't had a chance to measure my s10 yet.

_STUCKY

I'll try to remember to measure today, but I was eyeballing the k5 tank the other day. If it will fit where the stock spare is, it'd double the capacity. It's about a 30 gallon tank. Probably have to get creative with the filler though, and I've got no ideas on that as of yet. Where are you planning...

_STUCKY

Well, as far as functionality in regards to the axle swap, I'm calling it complete. As we all know, there's always a never ending cycle of messing with stuff. New shocks (5100 series Bilsteins) are the newest addition. Lighting up the night sky is next on the to do list. I also need to come up with ...

_STUCKY

I didn't take any pics of it, but I picked up a sig sauer mosquito in pink for the girlfriend. We put probably 60-80 rounds or so through it yesterday without any trouble at all. Made her read the manual, take it apart, clean it, and put it back together. She did great. It seems like a quality .22 s...

_STUCKY

building it would be half the fun. Very true! It's always, uh, "fun", fixing others mistakes. That's why I found a clean slate to start on for mine. For anyone interested in this truck, it does look like a great deal. Snatch it up before someone else does! :rock: Of course, it could be a can of wor...

_STUCKY

Ah hell.... It's even close enough to me. I don't know how much I've spend in my sfa swap so far but I'd guess I'm at at least 4k. That truck has what sounds like xj axles, and looks like might be ord kit.

Brule, you'd look great in that. I'll drive it to you if you buy it.

_STUCKY

Alight. Thanks. I'm debating on whether to go ahead and order one or wait for it to die.

_STUCKY

So I think my fuel pump is dying. When I go to start it, let's say I haven't been driving it, motor is cool, it will crank and crank, but not start. If I crank it for a few seconds, then stop, then immediately crank again, it will start just fine. If it has been sitting for just a little while, engi...

_STUCKY

They are 255/85/16. According to bfg, 33.3x10. Wal mart had the best price at 226 each.

_STUCKY

Thanks for getting the site back up! :rock: I encourage everyone that uses this site to post more. Questions, answers and pics. We need a lot more pics. Here's my contribution.... I'm making progress.... You can click the pics to see the full image. http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/_STUCKY/z...

_STUCKY

_STUCKY

How much for the 8.8 ring, pinion, carrier, and lockright?

_STUCKY

I'm in no hurry

I found a clip. I'll pm you my info, but I'd feel better either buying the panel or trading you something for it. Or at least paying for the shipping. Need anything ifs related for yours? I have a pallet full of parts lol.

_STUCKY

Well I'm fairly used to driving fullsize trucks, but not so much used to off-roading something this long. It will take some getting used to. There will be advantages and disadvantages.

_STUCKY

Things that need fixin' include but are not limited to: Needs longer pitman arm to turn full lock to lock. Shorter dragline may help too. Still needs front shocks/mounts addressed. Looks like one rear shock is already leaking (been in a box for 3 years, and aren't made any more) Grease the steering....

_STUCKY

Well... I drove it today.

_STUCKY

Well, things have slowed down. We started in the field a couple days ago. Truck isn't drivable yet, but very close. Exhuast is hooked back up, driveshafts are in, alignment is on Wednesday, I need to address shocks, and a few other minor things.

_STUCKY

As for the shocks, yea I'd agree shocks *could make a difference. Had a 94 jimmy that had the shakes at speed. Threw some cheapo napa blue shocks on and cured it. It probably had other issues too

_STUCKY

It looks great. The MML pics have inspired a lot of people.

_STUCKY

I'm planning to just paint it flat black. I used some degreaser that didn't turn out too well for the rustoleum paint I've been using. Everything go all tacky. And I've been painting everything with it.

_STUCKY

If you can't find it, the plug for the passenger side seat, in my truck at least, was taped to the floor under the carpet, just in front of the back seat on the passenger side.

_STUCKY

Did you get a Tom woods driveshaft? I'm thinking about ordering one instead of going to the local fab shop. I don't think they are going to like the length and they don't have a way to balance them. I'm not sure where the other thread was, but on the exhaust, did the shop take out both the resonator...

_STUCKY

What is the d44 out of? What bolt pattern are you going?

We need more pics on here

_STUCKY

I wish I didnt look at mine today. I am about to push it off a cliff. Did you get it fixed? So I really didn't like how the ord shock hoops were fitting: http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/_STUCKY/zr5/74D146DB-157C-49A6-AC47-C4772DD21356.jpg So this happened: http://i1067.photobucket.com/albu...

_STUCKY

If you don't already have it, bravada's have the homelink console and a lot of other goodies.

_STUCKY

I didn't do anything to the truck today, didn't even look at it. Bought some engine degreaser though. I'm waiting on another tcase yoke and the pitman arm to get reamed out. I'm really pleased with the stance the truck has in that last pic.

_STUCKY

I'd just put remaned calipers with new pads and either resurface your rotors or new ones. I wouldn't mess with rebuilding calipers, seems like an unnecessary hassle. As for the rotors, last time I was going to get some resurfaced, it was just a few bucks more for new ones.

_STUCKY

Yea, I'll part with it. Let me make sure it's double din. I'll measure and grab a pic tomorrow.

_STUCKY

Awesome, so one could just have a tablet for the truck. This sounds wonderful. What other apps are available that will run with this stuff? I'd like to see pics or video of this stuff in action.

_STUCKY

http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/_STUCKY/zr5/E8CEE984-C364-49E3-99E5-A5B65E8F418E.jpg It's not a real good pic, but I've spent probably 8-10 hours with a pair of grinders, some cutoff wheels, some flap wheels, and of course a sawzall taking out the crossmember and other brackets. If I can g...

_STUCKY

Does the device (I'm assuming you could do this with a tablet) have to be connected to Internet?

I was thinking a cheap tablet to keep with the truck. Maybe that isn't the way to do it lol

_STUCKY

I haven't personally done this swap, but as far as I know it should be a straight swap. May need a conversion u joint, may need to swap your brakes onto the new axle, but as long as you have a 3.73 geared truck, you are good to go. The zr2 axle has a bigger ring and pinion, I believe bigger axle sha...

_STUCKY

If you can't find one, I believe I have a charcoal one. What does a double din opening measure?

_STUCKY

I didn't get a whole lot done today. What did happen though was I found a clip for my battery tray and put that all back together.... But somehow I screwed up the neg side post on my new battery, so gonna have to stop by tomorrow and see if I can get another. I put the grill and bumper back on. I'll...

_STUCKY

Pics! This forum always needs more pics!

_STUCKY

Brakes are all plumbed. Steering is next. I'm running out of time before we will be getting in the fields. Not too far from being mobile.

_STUCKY

Pics please. I'm liking the sounds of this and the one from the other thread.

_STUCKY

Yea, I was out there early today. Almost done now. But then again, I thought I was almost done yesterday.

_STUCKY

I must do my best thinking in my sleep. I woke up about 3 last night with an epiphany on how to do the brake lines. Just need to figure out how to make what's in my head happen.

_STUCKY

Well, I got the front brakes plumbed. Need to do some thinking on the rear lines. I'm hoping to finish the rear this weekend. Messed around with the shock mounts from the ord kit, I'm not sure if I'll use them. High angle driveline on pirate said they can do the yoke, but it's forged instead of cast...

_STUCKY

Well, I'm getting frustrated with jbconversions. They have now sent me the wrong yoke for the tcase for the 3rd time. The guy I talked to the first time informed me that I did indeed order the correct yoke. They keep sending the wrong part number. Messaged high angle driveline on pirate to see if th...

_STUCKY

Pulled the 2 short leaves out of the Boise kit. This should be ride height, plus about 1.5 when I get tires. The rear is 1.25 inches higher than the front.

_STUCKY

Well, I got the axle swapped in. It may be hard to tell from the pic (floor slopes down toward the back of the truck) but it seems to sit about 2 inches high out back. Progress is progress.

_STUCKY

So I figure I could explain that last pic. I was crushing the crush sleeve. It's a bit of a bear to hold, so what I ended up with was the pinion retainer in the vice with 2 pieces of wood, a pipe wrench on the yoke, and the torque wrench. I had to go a little further with it today, went to 450 ft lb...

_STUCKY

Took 425 ft lbs to get the crush sleeve to spec. I'm hoping I can get the rear ring and pinion set early next week. Needless to say, there have been delays.

_STUCKY

I'm not much help on the noise, but our trucks get signal from the vehicle speed sensor (vss) in the tail cone of the transfer case.

_STUCKY

I just thought of something else I could use, if you are going back soon. My buddy that was helping me dropped one of the clips for the battery tray into the core support, it's gone, my truck ate it. I'm not by my truck to look, but I'm pretty sure they are the same as the clips that hold the fan sh...

_STUCKY

I haven't figured out a way to make the pics not do that. These new fangled phones and their high quality pics...

You have paypal or you want to do this the old fashioned way? Pm me if you want

_STUCKY

I'm not sure I understand the question. Can you give more details? What sye did you do to the tcase? What rear axle? What yokes/flanges do you have? What yokes/flanges are you wanting to run? You can make anything you want, just need to find the right combo for what you are doing. For me, I did the ...

_STUCKY

So what are you doing? Sfa? Inquiring minds... Let's hear the details

_STUCKY

Yea if you can get it cheap

_STUCKY

5.3 or 5.7? My understanding is Vortec 5.7 is fairly easy, but a 5.3 will get a bit trickier. I know nothing about either swap.

Post up what you do.

_STUCKY

I am planning for a 1 piece shaft. I went with a jbconversions super short sye. I'm really hoping to not need to change the plan again.

What are you doing?

_STUCKY

I was thinking it was about $100 from il to nj. I have since found out you can ship through fastenal. No idea the rates.

_STUCKY

Yep. That's the one.

_STUCKY

I'd take the blank panel to the left of the radio if it's still there and not broke. Should be able to pop it out with a tiny screwdriver.

_STUCKY

There's some good ones on s10forum. Do a google search for s10 winch bumper and go to images. Not really the same but there's 2 winch mounts available. 4wdfactory has a weld in, I don't think the stock bumper will work with it. Synergy offroad has a bolt in one that you can make the stock bumper fit...

_STUCKY

Is this stock? I'm assuming it's corn grease

The yoke for the front of the tcase was at the house when I got home.

_STUCKY

It's like Christmas on a Thursday! Finally got my box from ruffstuff. It was stuck in St. Louis... I'm about to dig into the 14b's ring and pinion. That link I posted ^ up there has a pdf file from the military service manual so I should be good to go.

_STUCKY

Made a little bit of progress today. Got the tcase put back in, got the ord tcase crossmember put in, pulled the y pipe, reroute some wires, pulled the vacuum hoses from the tcase switch, and a couple other piddly things. I should have gotten a box today, got an email that said it was delivered, but...

_STUCKY

Just the drivers side brake. Since I had been planning to swap in the 14b, I was ignoring the stuck caliper. Now it would need, at a minimum, a caliper, rotor and a set of pads. Other than that, it is fine. I probably let it go for too long, but I was planning to swap it out anywho. I bought the tru...

_STUCKY

I still need to pull mine, but I'd sell it. Need brakes. 99,000 miles on it

_STUCKY

I've now got a yoke for then back of the tcase and a crush sleeve for the 14 bolt coming. Been thinking about exhuast today. I've already got the flowmaster and 3 inch pipe from the cat back. I have a 2wd y pipe waiting to go on. The precat has been cut out to get the spring mount onto the frame. So...

_STUCKY

The parts are the same

_STUCKY

Ordered a 1350 ubolt style yoke for the front output of the tcase from these guys (part# 90-3544): http://www.coastdriveline.com/DrivelineParts.htm Jbconversions is closed on Fridays, so gonna have to call Monday for a rear yoke. Now all driveshaft ujoints will be 1350 and all yokes will be ubolt st...

_STUCKY

You bet! ... :) You will no longer have a need for that function. :rock: http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/_STUCKY/zr5/28F6ACE6-1F50-4682-879A-4038E4ED2F59.jpg By noon today I was driving to get a 94 233c for 90$. Got back to my buddy's shop about 2 and was buttoning it up about 4:45. Yet, t...

_STUCKY

I was actually thinking exactly that after I last posted. HJ, any reason I can't just plug it? On a slightly related note... I need to aquire yet another transfer case. Some of the Dakota parts won't work for me. I don't know exact names of parts in the cases, so let's just say some doodads are diff...
