Looks cool... maybe you might wanna get the 2nd gen cowl hood from goodmark, lose the roof rack, safari bar, door guards, and bug deflector, and paint the bumper and valence yellow . I like the bed rails on there.

BobbleSmitty

There was no bleach, water or anything, that's straight up rubber on concrete. That video from streetfire was choppy and bad quality, I uploaded it to my photobucket... It's a little clearer here.

Thanks!

Hey guys, will Bubaloo's shackles work on a 1997 4 door 4x4 blazer??

BobbleSmitty

Turned out to be the power steering pump. They gave me a Silverado Z71 for the mean time to drive! He said that the new pump will be in tomorrow and it should be ready not too long after that.

The first view is from behind the front driverside tire looking forward. Looks like it is coming from above somewhere? The second pic is the puddle it left. Going in tomorrow to have it fixed, but any ideas on what it is? http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f111/BobbleSmitty/Leak3.jpg http://i46.photo...

BobbleSmitty

I heard my buddy's new JL sub and it sounded 100 times better than my Infinity. Turns out the mounting depth was an entire inch shorter so I made a new box and bought the JL sub! It sounds sweet! You can definately hear the bass thumpin' from outside of the truck!! http://www.s-10crewcab.com/copperm...

BobbleSmitty

I'm still running my Traxxas Nitro Rustler... Although, I can't right now b/c when you take it off 6 foot jumps at 40mph and you flip it over like 15 times, shock towers tend to break!! lol :lol: So, it's just been sitting in my basement for a few months. Haven't fixed it yet, but i'll definately up...

BobbleSmitty

I used to have a gurgling sound when at low RPMs. I had a leak in the coolant lines or something?? It was under warranty. But it was annoying. Came from the passenger side down by the feet there!

BobbleSmitty

Who cares that it's a Ford, that thing is SWEET!!!!

BobbleSmitty

We've got about 8 more tires stacked in the back to put on still! We just installed line locks tonight so we don't have to use a brick to keep it in place! As for them catching fire, I bet it wouldn't be much longer than what we did, the rubber on the ground was smoking for quite a while afterwards!

BobbleSmitty

How's this for a burnout!

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/0950 ... 77c9d4.htm

BobbleSmitty

& does anyone make a combo bedrail/roll bar/ light bar or am I going to have to break out the welder? I love this idea!! I was thinking about tieing in a light bar/roll bar thingy to the rails and putting some huge off road lights up above! I've searched for it but never came up with anything, I th...

BobbleSmitty

I see a different one every other week or so... I was hauling a load of mulch this past week and I looked over next to me and there was another ZR5, but it was a GMC. I look over at him and he gave me the thumbs up! I returned the favor! Seems most people driving the crew cabs know that they have so...

Welcome to the site! Where are you from??

Mine's a custom cat back dual exhuast with a V-Force muffler, 2.5" Stainless Steel pipes, and two 3" slash cut black chrome stainless steel exhaust tips.

BobbleSmitty

Yea!! I bet the neighbors heard me!! lol

BobbleSmitty

Here u go! Just took them... the swelling has gone down slightly b/c i iced it for quite some time, still hurts really bad tho!

BobbleSmitty

When tightening the mounting bolts for the bed under your truck don't let the ratchet slip off while you're tightening them and your hand is still holding it. I crushed my pinky finger really bad tonight! I'm not sure yet if it's broken but it hurts really bad!!!! Not to mention, it's twice the size...

BobbleSmitty

Here in OH, they're pretty lenient, that is, the closer you get into the inner city and down town! I live a good 35 to 40 minute drive from downtown in an eastern suburb and you can definately tell the difference on how the police operate. But we have been driving the '52 Ford F100 around for a whil...

BobbleSmitty

I use Verizon for my service and I have a Motorola E815... I got it a year ago. It has yet to fail me!!

BobbleSmitty

I'd check the Tractor Supply store, I've seen them there before!

BobbleSmitty

Thanks HJ... that top picture that is what i need but its just hard to see the bar on the hitch going across. Do you have any others that are closer or easier to see??? Thanks!

BobbleSmitty

Hey Ace, once you figure out how to do it and all, could you take a picture looking straight at it and maybe measure how low the hitch hangs down by the brackets below the bumper if at all. I'm thinking about getting one, but I have my dual exhaust coming out the back and I wanna know if it will fit...

BobbleSmitty

I think we've seen this pic on the forum before... In the article they mention that the hood is popped open.

BobbleSmitty

I'm not too much a fan of chrome! My old car had too much chrome on it and I got tired of all of it! My exhaust tips are enough chrome for me (and they're black chrome lol). I dunno about the wheels, but that may be a possibility. My cousin said he could get me some new 31s from Cooper for free so I...

He's definately very talented at what he does! He was a pitcher on Cleveland State's baseball team and he threw in the 90s... so he has a great arm. His career is being a magician, so he's always doing something with cards. He broke the world record for throwing the card the farthest back in 2002. H...

BobbleSmitty

Did anyone catch the TV show tonight on ABC called Master of Champions?? If you did, the Card Thrower, Rick Smith Jr., who won tonight, is my brother :) I meant to put a post up to tell you guys to watch, but I worked all day then had class tonight. Oh well, maybe someone saw it anyhow! Here's his w...

BobbleSmitty

From what I remember, I think it's a special kind of screw type bolt that when you turn it, it locks it closed. Maybe someone else can be of more help... but it's not threaded, that's for sure

BobbleSmitty

No, I didn't trade in my CC but a while back I think I may have posted some pics of the truck my cousin and I were going to build. Back in October, we picked up a 1952 Ford F100. Since then, on weekends or free nights, we devoted a few hours here and there to working on the truck. From the start we ...

I'm with HJ on this one! Cut the air box open and get an exhaust! I spent 200 on my custom cat back system

Took off all 3 S-10 badges and the "CHEVROLET" badge on the tail gate. It looks sweet! You could never tell they were on there :) I ju...

BobbleSmitty

Looks pretty sweet! I think it's great that you get the exact same camera angles each time!!

BobbleSmitty

Jack up the frame a little more or have a friend pull down on the leaf spring to get the other one on there.

BobbleSmitty

I thought about it! But I didn't like the big height difference from the back to the front! But once I took those things off, I couldn't believe how much better it handled! lol I'll probably keep them in my garage for the time being... Who knows what I'll do??

BobbleSmitty

I actually just changed back to stock shackles two days ago... I didn't like the sway on the freeway when changing lanes quickly. I does help to have two people to do the job, but it is possible to be done by yourself.

BobbleSmitty

I have a 10" infinity sub behind my back seat right now... I made my own box, but will be making a new one soon when i get some time. I will remove the jack and extend the box from wall to wall most likely.

BobbleSmitty

Yea, Jim dropped his a little bit. Looks good for a lowered 4x4

BobbleSmitty

I love it!! I wish they could ship some of those North

BobbleSmitty

Gotta go with the white letters!!

BobbleSmitty

Looks sweet! Did you crank the TBs too?? Now you have to raise the step bars

BobbleSmitty

Yep, it's a single inlet, single outlet going to a Y pipe. I would just like to keep the sound coming out the pipes in the back! Maybe this'll be my next mod!

BobbleSmitty

Is that 17.9 your quarter mile run??

BobbleSmitty

Does anyone think that this would be possible?? http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10088/normal_Exhaust_Cutout.JPG What I would like to do is put an electric exhaust cutout between the cat and the muffler for an even louder sound on demand. Would I be able to route it like that to...

BobbleSmitty

Why did I think it was our super flashy S10s that were gettin' stolen!! Yea right!! lol

BobbleSmitty

Heres how those bumper bracket things work

BobbleSmitty

Get a good set of air tools! Also, have both metric and standard sockets. I believe it was a 17mm (or was it a 19mm??) that will be needed alot! Just take your time and follow the directions. Good Luck!

BobbleSmitty

Rock was running 31x10.5x15's without a body lift a while back... He had a problem with the tire hitting the top of the fender opening when going over big bumps, railroad tracks, etc... May be something to consider. http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10102/Sonoma%20With%20BFG%20M...

BobbleSmitty

I did the body lift to clear the tires. I'm not sure how 30s would have fit with out the BL. They fit just fine with the BL with no rubbing. I added the shackles just to raise it some more, but they aren't needed. Killian96ss (steve) has 31s on his, but some talk about minor rubbing which requires s...

BobbleSmitty

I was definately thinking about blacking out the bowtie and de-badging it! I would keep the Zr5 logo tho :) But I love my white letters on the tires! lol Next set of tires, I will go with 31s for sure, but I don't think I would start cutting or add new flares. I had mentioned before about the idea o...

BobbleSmitty

Thanks!

What else should I do to it??? As for the nerf bars and the safari bar, I've already raised them up! There's pictures in my album of all of that.

BobbleSmitty

Washed the CC inside and out yesterday!!

BobbleSmitty

So ya know, the 5.3L isn't a 350. The 5.7L that used to go in the corvette C5 and the silverado/tahoe/suburban before '98 was the 350. But I would have to say, my buddy just got an Avalanche and he gets just about the same gas mileage as I do in my Crewcab in the city and just a little less on the h...

BobbleSmitty

Haha! No, I put those lights and the bar on there! I wanted a yellow Zr-5 but when I bought mine in late July of 2004, all the yellow ones were gone anywhere near here! So I just took what they had! And Steve, your truck makes me wish I had gone with the 31s instead of the 30s!!

Hulking H1 to end life as symbol of status By David Runk DETROIT - The 2006 model year will be the last for the Hummer H1, the hulking, gas-guzzling status symbol that has attracted celebrities and off-road enthusiasts but has drawn the ire of environmentalists.

All of your trucks are lookin' pretty sweet!! Also, I love the SS!! This is mine about 2 weeks ago...

BobbleSmitty

Well if your good with welding and what not, that'd be ur best bet for making them stick out more. Otherwise you'd only be getting like a half inch.

BobbleSmitty

I've moved them up after the body lift. But it wouldn't be very difficult to move them down. You'd just have to drill out new holes on the brackets and lower them. As for moving them out, just place some washers inbetween the brackets and the frame then tighten them down. The bolts are welded into t...

BobbleSmitty

For the Body Lift, try ebay. It's part number is PA 192. If you're unsuccessful there, try SummitRacing.com or Stylinconepts.com... they should have it around 200. The Spacers, check ebay for those too. A guy on ebay (Completevalue) makes them and they're good quality. Most people suggest Hubcentric...

BobbleSmitty

Ace, in my album I have a picture of each of the brackets and you can see what needs to be done. Basically, you need to drill holes two inches below the highest holes on the brackets. The bolts are welded onto the frame, so if you want to remove the lower ones that wont be used anymore, you can grin...

BobbleSmitty

What you're going to want to do is search the lift section on this site. But what I would suggest for a lift like that, is the Performance Accessories 2" Body lift ($200 or so), then get some lift shackles ($50 or so), then turn the torsion bars to get another 1" in the front (but you must then get ...

Raised Step Bars and Raised Safari Bar Pictures

BobbleSmitty

If your truck does have them, there is a switch underneath the headlight switch. I am pretty sure that the harness is back there, you just need to get the panel with the switch. I've seen those on ebay quite alot.
