Since we dont have sunday hunting here i feel you, its the same way here in PA. But luckly my one buddy's uncle married Judy Faulkner, an is now a owner of the Faulkner Chevy dealers around here (haha thats how i got hooked up with my CC). anyways he owns 500 acres in the mountains and lets me hunt...

paintballrocker

well different agencies probably use different cal. depending on the types of crime. i could be wrong, but thatswhat i think. i could ask my cusin this weekend and see

paintballrocker

my cusin is a cop near in the city by me, everyone there uses a glock 17 in 9mm. i think thats is what most agencies use. my brother has one and i like his, we put 500 shots through it one day and didnt clean it for 3 years, and when we took it back out it shot fine ahah

paintballrocker

thought id update, since i got 2 new toys :mrgreen: heres my new GSG-5 in 22lr, im waiting on getting an eotech sight hopefully, if not maybe just a regular red dot http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o387/paintballrocker92/1019092120.jpg and heres the AR that i built with my uncle http://i341.photob...

update:

my truck will be fixed by wedensday

costing my insurance company $2900

paintballrocker

well i cleaned the rotor surface before i installed them, but i didnt take them off since

paintballrocker

yeah i learned my lesson, when i checked the lug nuts after 150 miles they were still tight. they obviously came loose tho

paintballrocker

its cool, no hard feelings. and yeah if i known it was posted i wouldnt of gone.

paintballrocker

http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o387 ... wheel2.jpg
these are the scrapes the broken studs put on the spacer

http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o387 ... /wheel.jpg

its hard to see but this the hole with the threads inprinted in them

paintballrocker

1 hole on the spacer had a sallow thread inprint, maybe they were overtighened AND when the one nut came loose they broke?

paintballrocker

well the shop is going to do that when they fix it, if they do fix it

paintballrocker

yeah the 3 that broke off were broken flush agiasnt the rotor. the other 2 r bent bad.

paintballrocker

http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o387/paintballrocker92/0914090719.jpg well here it is im too lazy to resize so ill link it later if i have too. the damamge doesnt look bad but the rotor is all bend to hell, but im worried incase the axle or frame is bent :? in the pic you can see that 3 of the 2 ...

paintballrocker

i installed them correctly, i followed the instruction sheet and even added loctite, and checked them after 150 miles. so i dont think i installed them wrong. yeah i am glad it happened when it did, it woulda sucked at highway speeds. well the insurance company called to have us get a quote from the...

paintballrocker

i can try to get one off of my phone, thats what i took it with, but the last time i checked the spacers they were tight.

do you think my insuarnce will cover it or deem it totaled?

paintballrocker

im not sure how they broke, the last time i messed wth the tires was when the shop put on my MT's, they used an airgun so maybe they were overtightend?

paintballrocker

as most of you kno i did the t-bar tweak w/ 30;s, and 1.25" spacers. yesterday morning driving to school my rear drivers side wheel fell off as i was doing 15mph :shock: :cry:. the way it happened the lug studs on the rotor broke and my truck was blocking a lane of a major road. 4 of the 5 lugs brok...

paintballrocker

like HJ says, i only did a t-bar tweak with stock rims i could fit the 30" hankook mt's with OUT any rubbing

paintballrocker

thanks Fallvitals, my fine is NOT for tresspasing, its for operating a vechile when i was a passnger.

And even if i do lose i will be paying the fine myself

paintballrocker

i have the 3.73's, before the 30'si was getting around 15-16.
i didnt have it recalibrated yet, and all my locas gas stations use 10% E.

paintballrocker

i just calculated my MPG's yesterday after getting the 30' tires put on, i found i only get 12.5 mpg

.

just wondering how high or low MPG's your getting

paintballrocker

smarting off to the officer and really pissed him off.

no sir, lol if anything the cop was a dick to us, he kept cutting off us off when we were explaining why we didnt kno we werent allowed back there.

but ill keep y'all posted

paintballrocker

Sounds like hearsay. The officer can not act upon that, unless your friend is the one pressing charges and wishes to testify directly. yeah thats what i thot, because even if my friend said that the cop has no proof of the claim being ture. Blaz, we didnt see the sign otherwise we wouldnt of gone, ...

paintballrocker

i plan on using that but when my dad called to ask about it the officer said i got a fine because my friend said i was there the day before, which i dont remember if he said it or not.

im just trying to prepare for the worst becasue i really dont wanto pay the fine for something i didnt do

paintballrocker

well i got my court date for sept 28. Heres a basic run down im going to use for my defense: well first of the sign doesnt say no tresspasing, just 'closed to motor vehicles". The no dumping sign is bigger than the no vehicle sign. http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o387/paintballrocker92/PICT0290.j...

paintballrocker

relocate the vent hose on your rear diff

anyone have a thread link or tips on how to relocate the vent hoses/

also how many "vent hoses" do our trucks have, just the rear diff/ or maybe the front diff too? im just worried about damaging my truck cuz i drive thro water and mud alot

paintballrocker

yeah thats pretty much how it was lol

paintballrocker

well i just spent 2.5 hours replacing my ujoint, spent im geussing an hour and a half just heating the thing up! :twisted: so anyways after i got it al assembled back together i drove it around the block, still making the noise :?: :cry: so after my bro had a cold one and we ate it turns out some mu...

paintballrocker

its cool, id just thot we had something i missed when i searched

paintballrocker

are there any threads or write ups on how to replace the ujoint, my brother is gona help me but i want o kno if there is anything special about S10 ujoints

paintballrocker

well i am aware of it now. thanks tho becuase i did not know that before.

paintballrocker

i bought mine with 130,00 miles for $4500 froma dealership.

only 2 little dents

paintballrocker

well ive found out what the nosie was. turns out it was a bad u joint on my rear driveshaft. i bought a new one 2day from autozone along with some new rear diff fluid, incase any water seeped in when i got stuck last time

paintballrocker

only 2 companies make a 2' BL lift, PA, and BDS. Everyone on here i think is runnign the PA lift

but if you search on s10forum, you can buy a first gen 3" lift and make it work on a 2nd gen truck

paintballrocker

f9k9, why didnt your 30's fit with ur tb crank and shackles? m 30" MT's fit fine and have plenty of room

paintballrocker

summit racing or ebay is the cheapest ive ever seen

paintballrocker

well i dont have a court date yet, but im sending in the paer saying i plead not guilty. the fine wasnt for tresspasing, it was for operating a vechile in an area that is posted no vechiles. but i was a passenger. \

can i be guilty by association???

paintballrocker

paintballrocker

well as the title says, im wondering if its worth it to fight my fine. A month ago i was with my buddy in his blazer wheeling on this one trail. as it turns out when we go to leave theres a cop sitting at the trail head wating for us. He took all of our info down and sent us on our way. Well to day ...

paintballrocker

thanks for the quick relpies guys!

hopefully 2moro me and my bro are gona look at the rear, i was thinking the same things as you guys either brakes or u joints.

what causes the brakes to lock up like your talking about?

thanks

paintballrocker

thanks for the compliments guys!

it isnt much but the CC looks alot better, even tho its stoll pretty low to the ground, oh well geuss ill learn to live with it. Maybe when i need new tires ill do a BL and 31's

paintballrocker

as the title says my CC is making a sqeaking noise from the rear. I already ruled out the mew tires becuase it did this with the old tires. It makies the noise with every rotation of the tire, meaning the fast i go the louder/faster the sound is made, i dont think its anything to worry about because...

paintballrocker

well i finally got around to taking some pics, let me know what you think :D this is stock: http://s341.photobucket.com/albums/o387/paintballrocker92/?action=view¤t=PICT0273.jpg this it now with a tbar crank, 1.25" rear spacers, and 30x9.5 Hankook MT's http://s341.photobucket.com/albums/o387/p...

paintballrocker

its been awhile since ive been on this site, work has been eeping me busy. anyways i wasnt able to do the MML like i wanted, and the crazy idea about SAS is long gone :lol: . well i ended up ordering some 1.25" wheels spacers from ebay for the rear. as soon as i got them on i leved out my truck with...

paintballrocker

My local 4x4 shop where i plan on buying my tires, said they ha...

paintballrocker

well i know everyone here likes the blisteen's but i remeber fallvitals saying in his lift journal that when he installed them he didnt experience a "night and day' difference.

thats why i was considering the rancho or pro comp shocks instead of the blisteens, as a way to save a little $$.

paintballrocker

i think itd be sweet. you should check this out then.......

hey im ordering my parts for the mystery lift soon, and would appreciate your opions. Here's the list of what im thinking of ordering from summitracing: 1. PA-192 body lift, $217 2. PA gap guards, set of 4, $75 3. Rancho long style add a leafs, $80, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RAN-RS50212/ 4. ...

paintballrocker

thanks for the pb blaaster tip.

yeah il prob wait now till i get he AAL on, becuase id like to have my truck sit level.

paintballrocker

well next week im going to order my body lift, shocks, and adda leaf.

im wondering how much to turn my torsion bars, right now the angel is almost parrele to the ground. So should i do about 6-8 full turn? does that sound about right?

paintballrocker

you should get one that is rated to 3times your vehicles weight, thats what my bro told me. luckly since hes a crane operator i got a rigging strap from his crane thats rate to 50,000lbs for free

paintballrocker

oh, i gotcha now

paintballrocker

i thought when it said 1.5" lift shackels it means it lifts the rear 1.5"?

paintballrocker

go with Daystart shackles, thats what alot of guys here and on S10forum are running. There 1.5" so it doesnt create as much rake as the 2" model.

paintballrocker

no problem dude

paintballrocker

heres a link to Synergy Offroad, on this page theres 2" ($65), and 1.5" ($50) shackles as well as Add a leaf's
