Thanks HJ

_STUCKY

looking great. makes me wish i had the knowledge, resources, and mechanical ability to do this. Thanks. I also wish I had the knowledge, resources, and mechanical ability to do this, haha. Probably better add time in there too if we are wishing for things. :lol: But it's not that bad really. Mostly...

_STUCKY

I haven't had much time to work on this. Monday I borrowed a power steering pump pulley removal tool. Tuesday I messed with putting on the new pump. Everything went ok until I was cleaning up and noticed a package of o rings in the box.... Whoopsy... I didn't get a chance to get back on it until yes...

_STUCKY

HJ, is that a 96ish land cruiser? Girlfriend wants an suv, but claims those are "too old". Silly woman. I'd have to agree with everything rabbit and HJ said. Only thing I'd add is don't cheap out on shocks, and maybe go for the Boise Springworks kit or make your own. In stock trim, an s10 would blow...

_STUCKY

Speedometers are overrated anyways, especially when in low.

Have any pics of your setup? After looking at mine the other day, it had me curious how you did your crossmember.

_STUCKY

Let's hear the details!

I know I asked on the other forum, but I don't think I brought the info here, but what'd you do for the vss?

I'm always looking for the second gen 231 setup. Seems rare here.

_STUCKY

I've had complications and delays.... But here's a fresh pic :D http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/_STUCKY/zr5/2428A367-B04C-4861-A4C6-A003BBCADB06.jpg Tire is 30 inches tall. Bottom of rocker panel is 22 inches. Looks like a 33 will fit pretty well without a body lift or more cutting. It's st...

_STUCKY

Not much to report today, progress was pretty slow. Flipped the springs around, which pushed the axle forward about an inch. Ruined the u bolts taking them off, so had my old man grab some while in town, should have them on tomorrow. My u bolt flip idea is going to have to wait until after I get it ...

_STUCKY

_STUCKY

I'd suggest ditching the cups they sit in and bolting them solid. I may reuse the bump stops, don't know yet. After I got home lastnight, I tried something I hadn't tried before. Took a needle, heated it up, and let it melt the top of my nail to relieve the pressure. Probably would have worked if I ...

_STUCKY

Haha, yea. Also have the bilsteins, poly sway bar bushings, control arms have poly bushings, skid plates, wheels, and probably some other things I'm forgetting.

_STUCKY

Truck is clean and ready. I welded the winch mount on earlier. Hoping to take the IFS apart tomorrow. Also, it is 16.5 inches from the ground to bottom of the rocker panel under the drivers door. Oh, and discovered I have a broken pinion bearing in the 14 bolt, so that should be fun.... http://i1067...

_STUCKY

Small update... Smoothed the bottom of the 14 bolt: http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/_STUCKY/zr5/183B18AB-B3DD-447A-9FF1-7FC9DEB799C7.jpg http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/_STUCKY/zr5/F499391D-1A3C-42C4-AE09-6E0C2B3279FA.jpg Had to do this to the pads, they didn't want to clear betwee...

_STUCKY

Finally! I have my front axle at home! So after a lot of delays, I now have a mostly complete dana 44 that is very close to being ready to swap in. However.... I don't have a good pic. I will try to get some tomorrow. I can say I have a pretty good understanding of setting up a ring and pinion now. ...

_STUCKY

Well, I was hoping to bring the axle home yesterday, didn't happen. I have high hopes that it will be in the bed of the truck today. I did get the rest if my driveshaft parts though, they are a perfect fit. If everything goes smooth.... I'll be taking out the ifs next week

_STUCKY

So when I pulled the one I have, I looked pretty hard at one off a 99 bravada. It was different than what I had so didn't take it. I assumed all 4 door second gens had the same one. However, I'm looking at an 02 4 door blazer and it is the same as my crew, just longer. So I'd think it would be safe ...

_STUCKY

I'm really hoping to have an update tomorrow. Progress has been slower than I had hoped, but it's coming together nicely. Surprisingly, very little grinding required to make the 8.9 inch ring gear fit where the 8.5 one was.

_STUCKY

The second gen 2 door rack is the one you want. I'll try to get pics tomorrow. I've been meaning to bring it home so I can mount it to the topper.

_STUCKY

The roof rack that went on the crews stock was, as far as I know, a cut down 2 door blazer roof rack. Maybe Brule will chime in on what he used. I think he has a thread somewhere around here on it. I don't really like the way the blue and pewter s10's did that, looks to me like a tree branch catcher...

_STUCKY

Well, I get to re-rethink my driveshafts. Took the u joints out of the driveshafts I have, and they ended up being different on each end. I planned to just move the flange to the other end and have the 1350 yoke put on the end the flange was on. So I googled a little bit and found a slip shaft with ...

_STUCKY

If my math is correct.... With the wheels I have, Chevy hd pyo's, with a 315/75/16 toyo mt, using specs from desertrat, I'm going to wind up at 72.9 inches, which sounds ridiculously narrow to me. I'm very anxious to go set a tape measure infront of the truck.

_STUCKY

Not much to report. Progress was/is slower than hoped. My mechanic was trying to get caught up on other people's vehicles, which is fine, I had plenty to do. I got the axle down to nothing but the housing, springs, and the differential. I recleaned all the spindles, hubs, brake brackets, rotors, knu...

_STUCKY

This is a fastenal part number. There very possibly could be a better nutsert. These should work with the stock bolts in the blazer roof racks.

_STUCKY

Got the axle moved to my guy's shop. I attacked it solo for about an hour and got it down to the spindles before he was ready to leave for the day. I need to acquire a large stepped drill bit to make room in the carrier for the ring gear bolts. I hope tomorrow goes smooth.

_STUCKY

I was thinking if I get some, try to put one in between the roof rack rails, try to keep it tucked below the top of the rail. I have a topper, and I pulled a rack off a 2 door blazer to put on the topper. I just picked up some nutserts to use with the stock bolts, I'll grab a pic and the part number...

_STUCKY

Well, I tried to take a break from thinking about this project yesterday. The result of that is that I found the planetary gear I need. Texted the guy from craigslist and he says he has a 97 np243c already pulled, but still bolted to trans, for $60. Sounds perfect, I'm going to get it Sunday. I'm ho...

_STUCKY

So the planetary gears I have, not the right ones. Today was partially spent dissecting an np231d and some experimenting.... I also had an ifs 241c already dissected, what my planetary came out of. I think if a guy was inclined enough and had the right tools to do it, you could make what I have work...

_STUCKY

I don't know where I can find the numbers to figure out what master cylinder would work best. I'm leaning toward just going with the original plan and go from there, trans am master cylinder and adjustable prop valve. I'm deleting the abs, so sounds like I'll need the adjustable prop valve for sure....

_STUCKY

So are you thinking I should just skip the k5 master cylinder and go with the trans am one? The trans am one is originally for a disk/disk setup. I honestly don't know how the k5 master works for people, my brakes went from bad to worse with just the disk swap, but the master and prop valve seemed t...

_STUCKY

I have made myself 3 lists for the axle swap, "things I need, things I might need, things I want". My needs list is getting small and some of them I can't get yet, like shocks. Most things on that list are readily available in town, like bolts and brake line fittings. My might need list is what has ...

_STUCKY

I'm interested in the shackle bushings.

_STUCKY

Yea 135$ for a driveshaft I'm going to cut up is ridiculous. That lady probably buys whole trucks for 135$. What sucks is I've gone in there several times and gotten some great deals. I pillaged that bravada for the seats, homelink, door panels, and God knows what all else, but I left there only spe...

_STUCKY

Well I went to a junkyard an hour away looking for the driveshaft I want. Last time I was there they had a ranger bed full of driveshafts, so I had high hopes. They had one laying on the floor of the garage, it was exactly what I'm after, absolutely perfect in everyway.... But the lady that runs the...

_STUCKY

I had to rethink my driveshafts. The shaft I had, that I thought was an explorer front, turned out to be an 88-94 or so k1500 front. Which is fine, except I ordered the wrong front yoke.... So anywho, got ahold of the guy, he hadn't shipped it yet so I had him upgrade the yoke to a 1350 series, so t...

_STUCKY

I just put in some orders for parts. Ruffstuff diff covers for both axles, reamer tool for my tierods and draglink, sua perches for the 14 bolt, Jantz engineering k4 kit to put jk 8.9 inch ring gear in the front 44, and complete offroad for a spartan locker for the 44. I have a guy on s10forum that ...

Had to trim a few things on my knuckle setup, but I dropped this stuff (minus the hubs and rotors) off to get the pass side flat top milled drilled and tapped and ...

_STUCKY

Will just any momentary switch work? If so, just google momentary switch. I found some from 12voltguy.com with a pigtail for like 6$ or I think the same button without a pig tail for I think 1$ form partsexpress.com

_STUCKY

Does the rear door in question function? I'd suggest that if it does to not just scrap it or throw it away. Rear crew cab doors are far and few between, it may be a better door for someone.

_STUCKY

I've had a little bit of time to mess around in the shed and it now looks like this: http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/_STUCKY/other%20stuff/D5D3FF97-8738-4F6C-ACAB-BCB2A63A19D4.jpg Also picked up these to try: http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/_STUCKY/other%20stuff/1D63CAE4-E892-43AC-...

_STUCKY

I was more interested in the little jack stands than the jack. It was cheap. I used it to change the oil and fuel filters on my girlfriends car. It leaves a lot to be desired. Had a buddy that wanted one of the motors in one of my parts trucks. So today we pulled it up to the shed, go it running, pu...

_STUCKY

So I wanted to get an air nailer. Got to looking around online and found a bostitch compressor, air nailer, brad nailer, and staple gun for $200. It showed up last night. Also, I got some jackstands at o'rielly's yesterday so I could change oil in my girlfriend's car at home. Got (2) 4000 pound and ...

_STUCKY

Pulled a wire harness and sent it out to a member today. There is one more in the local junkyard if anyone is interested.

_STUCKY

I forgot to mention that I set the girlfriend's grandpa up with some parts. I gave him the stock door panels and seats from my truck, the bravada switch panels for the doors, and found him a bed topper on craigslist. His drivers door panel and seat were busted up. If I don't end up using them with t...

It's an H&R Premier 22 rim fire. 7 shot. I mainly bought it to shoot the shot shells. Everyone tells me that they will mess up the rifling in the barrel, so I wanted a junk gun to shoot them. It's extremely tiny. It looks almost like a toy. When you open it, there's an ejector doodad that doesn't wo...

_STUCKY

Not nearly as exciting as that^, but I've been using this little guy to kill mice. Been using cci shot shells for the ones inside the shed, cci shorts for the ones I can manage to get outside. I've "used" this more than any of my other guns this year. The girlfriend picked up the toy gun holster at ...

So Saturday, the alternator in the k5 died. It wasn't too heart breaking since I'm pretty sure I've never replaced it the whole time I've owned the truck. I was in a bit of a hurry so I just grabbed a stock replacement from napa. #213-4534F On Sunday, my dad got back from a 2 week trip. Before he le...

_STUCKY

They aren't too bad. I'd suggest 1 and see if you like them. I started with 2. I saw they have an 11 and 14 inch version too, but I don't know if they screw in like these or if they need hard wired to a box.

_STUCKY

Well, I got some time to work on the bench. This is where it currently is: http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/u422/_STUCKY/other%20stuff/35565B51-5104-42B2-948C-104FD01D7BB3.jpg Here is the lights I picked up at Home Depot. A little pricey at $20 a piece, but if they last as long as the box claims ...

_STUCKY

Well I need motivation. Let's see some teaser pics

_STUCKY

Thanks. Bad thing is every where I look there's stuff to fix. On the shed, it's not big enough to do a whole lot, but I should be able to fit the s10 after the axle swap, as long as it's not any taller than the k5. The k5 just barely fits height and width wise. The s10 just barely fits length wise. ...

_STUCKY

It looks perfect.

_STUCKY

Thanks, I appreciate it. The girlfriend is the only one who has seen it. Let's just says she is less motivated about it than I am. I won't have much time to mess with it until probably Sunday. I had to clean up my mess last night when I got home so I could park the blazer in there because it was goi...

_STUCKY

Well it's, I think, an old hog shed. Last person who lived here had it sorta set up for a horse. I, however, have been squeezing my blazer in it. :wink: So it was full of junk I wanted gone. Old appliances, junk wood, junk cabinets, ect ect. You know, junk. I basically scrapped some, burned some, ke...

_STUCKY

Sorry, I missed that post ^. I haven't had time to get back in there, but when I do, I'll see what I come up with. Don't remember the years specifically, but the 95-97 jimmy I got the door panels out of did have homelink. So the other day, the girlfriends gpa calls me wanting a front skid plate for ...

_STUCKY

Brule sold that truck a few years ago. When I see pewter crews, I wonder "could that be it?" Lol

I intend to someday buy a bunch of those.

_STUCKY

That looks good. I like the reverse lights. I've noticed lately I can't see squat out the back of the s10 at night in reverse in the rain with the topper on it.

_STUCKY

I'm pretty sure I spotted a homelink console that was intact, if anyone is interested. It was in the jimmy I got the rear door panels out of. There was another but it was trashed. Harness might still be good though.

_STUCKY

Well this place isn't an auto salvage yard. It's a recycler type place. You know, take your cans and junk to him. He just lines vehicles up around the fence until they get in the way. It is now my new favorite parts place haha.
