Strange. I've never seen or heard of the 4.3 being refered to as anything other an a 262. But just for laughs, if you take 350 and divide by 5.7, you get 61.40350877192982456140350877193. If you take that numbey and multiply it by 4.3, you get 264.0350877192982456140350877193. But, then again, if en...

I agree. Not to offend anyone here who might have one, but I personally think Avalanche's are ugly. It's really just the bed and the plastic panels that cover hald the body. But when Chevrolet started making them without all the plastic on the side, but with regular fender flares, I changed my mind ...

Yea, I did but the front fenders. They're 90% of the reason for doing this mod, so my 31's don't rub :) what size b/l do you have and what size spacers do you run in the front and back? Truck looks great by the way!!!!!!!! Are those flares the ones that listed in the mods page? No more questions I p...

I've hunted duck, deer, doves, and wild hogs

I've hunted turkey one time, without a gun. I ran over one on a fourwheeler

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I might check with DecalKing, they made my 4x4 decals. I think one that said: Highrider Crew would be kinda neat if it was in smaller letters. I did use a reciprocating saw. DO NOT attemp this mod with anything else!!! Please!!! Save yourself the trouble!!! :lol:

Yes, I plan on leaving them black. One day I'm going to get the lower part of the body painted with spray on bedliner material (black) to match.

And, yes those are 31x10.5x15's, which will (hopefully) be replaced by 32x11.5x15's one day

Alright, here be my next plan. I'm going with Cragar D-Window Series 342 wheels, 15x8, with 4 inches of backspacing. I will be removing the front and rear spacers, and putting the 2" spacers on the rear. So my front track will remain the same as it is now, but my rear track will gain another inch on...

You're right. And no one has heard from him since.

Ok, now for my thoughts on the flares and the install... Nothing was overly difficult, but I did run into a few things that made me want to curse GM. The flares needed some trimming, mostly on the back of each flare, but it wasn't bad. I used the old edge trim. Gonna see how that works out. If it me...

I know that running a 31x10.5x15 is ok a 7" wheel, but what about a 11.5" wide tire? I want to eventually go with a 32x11.5x15 tire. I'll probably get the rock crawler wheels fir...

Steve

Same here. Although I do like that shade of blue....just not on that truck

After giving it alot of thought, especially after having installed Justin's flares, I've decided to wait and go with black rock crawler wheels instead of the PA3's.

After comparing the two in Photoshop, I think you're right. Someone went through alot of trouble to isolate the body panels and then apply a color mask. But if you'll look carefuylly at the front windshield, you'll see the same thing through the glass :) Even the reflections on the wheels are the sa...

gocntry wrote:Last Estimate I Got Was 1200.00 To Go To 4.10's Front & Rear

That's what I was quoted as well. The hardest part, that makes it so expensive is that the front of the truck has to be disassembled to get to the front diff. No easy task. The rear is easy.

I think someone has posted about this before, but I'm not sure. While browsing an offroad magazine site that Steve recently linked to, I came across this article: http://offroadworld.tenmagazines.com/tenarticle.asp?aid=2181&sid=10 http://ten.ewzone.com/articleImages/8644.jpg Same wheels, flares, roo...

I do like the storage compartment under the bed, especially since the spare is there. I know it probably would be useless if larger tires were used, but that's a feature I've always wanted in our trucks.

You know, one thing the Honda has going for it is reliability. I don't know specifically about the Ridgeline--I like trucks, and it's most definitely not my idea of a truck. My CC has had several thousand dollars worth of work done to it since I've had it--granted it's all been covered by the warran...

Anyone know how difficult it is to replace the pads/shoes in the emergency brake? Mine doesn't work at all. It worked ok when I got the truck, especially to keep it from rolling forward, but has never worked well to keep it from rolling in reverse. And now it wont work at all.

My CC is starting to shake a little bit when I hit the brakes. It doesn't bother me, but I guess it's time to get them checked. I only have 52K miles on my truck.

i guess it's time for a bl then.. thanks for the help Excellent choice! You won't regret this as your first mod. I think it really changes the attitude of the truck. Oh yea, get some rear spacers too. You've probably noticed how you're front tires line up with the wheel well quite nicely, but your ...

There was about an inch left. It was kinda on a hill. I had to back my trailer down a hill to unload a weight machine in our gym, and the hill was too steep to back straight down, so I had to go sideways, and turn sharp at the bottom. The side that was compressed was the downhill side

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Oh yea, Brule, at full flex, my rear tires just tuck inside the fenders with the 3" spacers on :) I got a chance to try it a few weeks ago, and forgot to tell you. The 3" spacers really make a difference in the look. The tires are a bit more inline with the flares on the rear...

I don't know this for sure, but somewhere, there has to be a constant wire/switch (maybe coming from the blinker switch), to then activate a flashing relay of some sort. Atleast I'm hoping that's the way it works. If not, I could always use some capacitors. Good idea on the LED bulbs! If I can find ...

Hey everyone. I've blown the bulbs in both of my top corner turn signals (the really small ones next to the headlights, not below). Soooo, I'm thinking about replacing the regular flashing light with a bright white one that will come on continuously when I turn my blinker on. Here is what I'm wantin...

Like Mark said, you can't go up much stock. Best bet is to install a body lift. that'll get your truck looking like a 4x4

I'm a 10 percenter

My truck came with the body lift pre-installed

http://www.waag.com/closeouts/ Go there. Look under "Sportster", and find this part number: 17783 It's for a trailblazer, but it might work. Mine was originally for an Envoy, but fits perfectly. Try calling WAAG and see if they can tell you if it will fit another vehicle. Unless they've changed some...

I think Walt did something like this - Raised Westin step bars I reinforced the rear mount by tieing it to the front spring hanger bolt. That's it. Except on the rear mount, instead of cutting it off, I left the spring hanger bolt bracket bolted to the bottom hole. Then I just drilled a new hole fo...

If you can turn a wrench, use a tape measure, drive to an alignment shop, and pay the $55-60, you can do the TB crank. It should'nt take more than 10-15 minutes. I'll let someone else posta pic to show you where the bolt you need to turn is. You just jack the front end up, give the bolt a few turns,...

For what it's worth, here's my take on ground clearance. First off, a body lift alone will do nothing to increase ground clearance, except increase your approach and departure angles. If you want to get ground clearance as cheaply as possible, check out some of HenryJ's posts in the Tires/Lifts/Susp...

I doubt you'll find the Sportster anymore. Conman originally posted a link to it at latruck.com in the classifieds forum a while back. I checked it out and went through hoops to get it. Well, mostly just a long wait. After talking with Irma at WAAG one last time I learned that WAAG had discontinued ...

Keep the hole saws cool when drilling metal or thick plastics. I squirt bottle with water helps, but requires three hands. For metal you can wet a paper towel and stuff it inside the hole saw. Your saws will last longer :mg: Good advice. You can also turn the hole saw in reverse (actually put the d...

Yea...I can also vouch for their mud performance. Not the best in the world. Weekend before last I helped a friend move 3 hours north of my in the MS delta. They call the mud there Gumbo. Kind of a stupid name, but it's appropriate. It's really sticky. My buddy's mobile home is on an acre of land th...

"Hey man! Listen to this baby on takeoff!"

*engine revving*

pow! clank clank clank....

*truck coasting*

"awe man! I broke another diff!"

You could also snap cvs and axles at will

Not to mention tires. Keeping tires on a CC with that engine would be a problem.

Yea....Misipi has a new law concerning the inspection stickers. "We wont write you a ticket for window tint, you just can't get another inspection sticker until it's off

"

im thinking about putting 20% tint on my front two windows... do you think it would be better to put it on my self or have a professional due it for about $75. Depends on how confident you are. Tinting windows can be an extremely frustrating job to some, while others know most of the tricks and tec...

Is there another place that is selling these that i can use paypal at or something so that i can get these. Justin (Bubaloo1983) is the guy that makes them and the only person/business that sells them. He might be able to arrange for payment by check or money order. He's very easy to work with :D O...

My Eaton and I get along just fine. It can be a bit unnerving when you feel and hear it kick in if one tire is spinning.... It definitely helps traction in both 2wd and 4wd. My only real complaint (since I can live with the thump and clunk), is that if I make a sharp turn from a dead stop, the locke...

Excellent advice :D I recently phoned Dell's customer support looking for some replacement parts for my wife's laptop. Finally I was transfered to the repair/parts department, and it took me an hour to explain to the nice girl that I needed the circuit board that the power/volume buttons are on, whi...

I second that motion! Check the gallery for pics of HenryJ, Steve2003, and Bubaloo1983's pics crewcabs with the flares on. My pics will be up too.....soon....I hope

I would recommend getting a Hypertech Power Programmer 3 over the Superlift device. It allows for so much more customization, especially if you want to change shift points or go with 93 octane fuel. Also firms up shifts a bit too.

Welcome

Would be nice... I'm at a bit of a crossroads right now.... Winch and mount....or.....32x12.5x15's

Well, had me a bit of an interesting evening. We were coming home from my cousin's wedding in the MS delta (a 3 hour drive), and I saw two spotlights pointed almost vertical a ways down the road. When I got to the spot, it turned out to be a Jeep Cherokee 4x4 stuck in the median :lol: But I have to ...

Welcome! Soon you'll be certifiable like the rest of us! .....wait....that didn't sound right...

hmmm....Reed is that an invitation?

And remember concerning the gears, if you want to change the gear ratio in the rear end, you'll need to do the same in the front, which is a bit more of a headache

My father-in-law has about 300 acres of infested heavily with dear, so if anyone's ever down this way and wants to hunt, just holla at me

hmmm....me too. Excellent work Border Man

I use it too much, so my trailer ball is a very convenient place without having to reach under the truck (it really doesn't bother me). The protection/strengthening I'm refering too is to to strengthen the actual plug since it's used alot. But I may check into the box....but the last time I had one ...

A friend of mine just got a craftsman. It's an upright (vertical standing tank w/ motor on top). He paid around $300 for his. It's fairly large. I'll ask him what the model tonight.

Well...this thread has me going over new ideas to help my trailer wiring harness....

Does anyone know if they make a 4 wire flat connector that's alot tougher than the standard ones you can get at wallyworld or autozone?

wow.....

mmm.....that would be nice....a diesel engine....great gas mileage and low end power in stock form....just don't pull out in front of a bigrig

Did you take it to a dealership? If so, get your money back and go elsewhere.

Some alignment shops will do the TB crank for ya....just a thought.

I'm running 31x10.5x15 BFG All Terrain KO's on stock wheels. Never had a flat :) I have about 4K miles on them. Asphalt - 9 Snow (unpacked) - N/A Snow (packed) - N/A Rocks - 90 Mud - 8 Rain - 9 Ice - N/A Noise - 6 There is an explanation to the noise rating... When I first got the tires, they were p...

Truck is in for bearing replacement. I dropped it off last night. They said it would be ready tomorrow afternoon. They're replacing bearings on both sides in the front, replacing a CV boot, and replacing the pads/shoes on the emergency brake(and something else on it, but I can't remember what it is)...

Hmmm....I haven't every really done anything to mine aside from using the little black rubber cap that goes on the plug. And I normally just wrap the wire around my hitch ball. Never had any issues withit rusting or shorting out. I did, however, wrap the wires from the taillight harness to the plug ...

ouch

I do happen to have on of these lifts being discussed, which would be the "Marvelous Mystery Lift". Wamason, my bad, I didn't know you had the complete marvelous mystery lift. So far I have only seen pictures of HJ's truck that has the complete "Marvelous mystery lift" Could you post some pictures?...

I can have them shipped for around $50 from MA. THe only thing is that guy is fairly new to Zr2.com. I'd prefer to deal with someone who's a bit more established....

I'd settle for just the free gas

I absolutely love the look of the PA3's, and would probably jump on them providing I find a set rediculously cheap somewhere. What about these ? $50 plus shipping is pretty cheap for 5 wheels. Hmmm.....seems my Zr2.com account is gone. Brule, do you happen to know his zipcode and the weight of the ...

I absolutely love the look of the PA3's, and would probably jump on them providing I find a set rediculously cheap somewhere. Otherwise, my next set will be black rock crawlers
