EDIT: I think that those will work perfectly. Anyone have a set you want to get rid of?

Ok, I'm not 100% sure that they're called flarettes. I'm refering the the part that attaches to the ends of the front bumper of a ZR2, that continues the flare onto the front bumper. http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10072/flarette.JPG Does anyone know if this would bolt/snap ont...

I have two custom brackets on the front that my tow hooks are mounted on. They turn the tow hooks 90 degrees so they're horizontal, and they stick out further (about 3 inches). They're very close to my pushbar, and this let's me use the tow hooks for jacking. If I place the jack under a tow hook, it...

Oh, forgot about getting my battery replaced too. Right after I got the CC.

The reason my fuel pump was replaced is because my warranty wouldn't cover just the level indicator, so one of the techs I know took care of it since the warranty would cover the entire pump assembly

I've always been partial to Fluke....I've got three, and one of them is eight years old and still kicking (after being run over once, and dropped 35 feet).

I've been fairly fortune, though my warranty has paid for itself.

1. Fuel pump
2. AC
3. Rear veshaft
4. Soon to be front bearings.

Have you tried turning up the volume and setting the fader to rear only and listening for any sound (static, music, popping, etc...)?

Sounds like the rear channels of the of radio's built0in amp may have gone bad. A perfect time to get an Alpine

Benny does have a point there....the height difference of a suspension lift can really help you out if you get into some deep stuff

Kermit No disrespect to Walt I am sure he is a very studious s10 CrewCab member but I think that you should take advice from members who actually have these different lifts. Kermit, contrary to the above statement, I do happen to have on of these lifts being discussed, which would be the "Marvelous...

The good thing about a projector is that they're portable, lightweight, etc... There's only one downside that I can think of.... most won't take to well your power going out while they're running. What I mean by this is that since the projector generates so much heat (the bulb), most that I've seen ...

Here's what I've learned about lifting your truck.... 1. crank torsion bars. (free, $50 for alignment) decide it's not enough. 2. do 2" body lift. ($200 +/-, plus labor) brings you happiness for a while. some will never go past this step. 3. save up and do 6" suspension lift. ($1500-1600, plus labor...

Something else to think about....If you're considering buying a large TV (50+ inches), why not a projector? THey're becoming increasingly popular, and some can be used with every light in the room on. Why settle for 50 inches when you can get 200?

Stay away from those!!!!! I had them on my CC for a few weeks. They'll make your rearend look off center.

Basically all it consists of are two metal plates. That's it. No center brace or anything.

It's been my experience that Sony is the king of TV's. I think you'll be satisfied with anything you choose from them. Panasonic's Tau line is also very nice.

Looks like it's time. I've got bearings going out in the front. I think it's on the drivers side. I will be taking it to the dealership tomorrow. In the last two weeks, I've noticed increased road noise, and a small bit of vibration, which has intensified in the last few days. I checked each tire la...

I watched a documentary on this not long ago, to bad I don't remember alot of it. I know that Willys-Overland designed/produced a version for military use. WO was owned by AM General.

The BL will atleast get your truck looking like a 4x4

As Steve said above, nothing really increases ground clearance except larger tires. Some suspension lifts can increase the angle of the front a-arms to provide added clearance up front, but nothing's gonna help the solid rear axle except tires. It all depends on how you want to fit larger tires, and...

Well....I was about to say that you need to just go with a regular one, or a body color one, but I know from owning an Indigo blue truck that it Chrome/SS loves it. It should look great!

I'm on dial up, so I don't know if any of the sources Brule linked to have this, but here is a safe, clean way to get power. Look for your fuse box under the hood. It'll be on the driver's side. Attached to the front of the fusebox, you'll notice a plastic cover that sticks out. Pull straight up on ...

Hey Paul, do you still have your MileMarker Winch mount/grille guard? If so, are you interested in getting rid of it?

Cool.....make sure you get a front quarter shot with your wheels cocked in the opposite direction....maybe with one wheel parked on the curb like KCustom's.

Barch, get me some beauty shots of your truck(clean). It looks good with the wheels you've got.

One bit of advice. Run power and ground under the hood. No need to get through the firewall with those. When you get ready to run the wire for the switch in the cab, run the ground instead of the hot wire. This will prevent any major problems if something were to nick that wire at the firewall. If y...

I know this doesn't really help your current situation much, but the best thing to do would be to get one of Justin's skidplates. THen you could cut it however you wanted it and still have strength

75% of the lift shops you call will tell you that fabtech has a 5" (I think) kit for 4x4 S-10's. They do not. Several of us here have researched it and they only make a lift kit for 2wd S-10's. A guy at Big10 tried to sell me a fabtech kit one time for my CC. We opened the box and you could tell it ...

Hey everyone. I'm working on a top secret project and have a request. I need some crewcab pics. I'd like some pics of trucks in action (cruising across a dry lake bed, or road, rock crawling, mud riding, trail climbing, etc...), and some still/beauty shots. I'd prefer pics of atleast 640x480. 800x60...

Justin, did you have a ball hitch in your receiver at the time? That could've easily punched through his grill and radiator.

I would get a second estimate to be safe tho.

I forgot about the Trim... Is anything similar to what you used at Autozone?

Just the cuts on the rear. I've already test fitted and stuff, but I'm going to wait until I get the cuts made in the front before I put any flares on. Did you have any problems? What about finding the urethane sealer? Any tips for those getting ready to undertake this task? I did use the sealer. N...

Howdy Neighbors

I've made progress. The rear fenders are DONE! Used a jigsaw with a few metal cutting blades. Worked very well. Everything has been sanded and is ready for application. The front, on the other hand, will have to wait until next week for my buddy to get his sawzal back.

My folks usually get 26.4 on a good day.

Man....I sure wish my truck sat that high with just a 2" BL

Height and width both are factors. Sometimes you can reduce one, and increase the other, which I hope to do. I don't mind a little rub....as long as it's the frame

maybe i should find a way to make this cheaper huh? :D The price I was previously quoted when the GM shield package was still in stock was $163 for all 3 shields which included all the brackets and hard ware. This seemed very reasonable. I will also try the nation wide search through my dealer. If ...

I've seen that plastic strip on the front bumper on Ebay several times. You might want to try there.

What type of remote start are you installing? Is it a replacement keyless entry/alarm system, or will it be controlled by the factory remote?

*hint* *hint*

Hmmm....ok, I may just go with 32x11.5x15's then....that should be close but comfortable

I just checked, and it appears that BFG does make 33x10.5x15's.

Hmmm...no 2" spacers in the front anymore....oh well..

Brule, just by eyeballing, do you think the standard 33" size BGF's would fit? And, what about 32's with 4"BS wheels and no spacers?

That's supposed to be CrewCab instead of 83 Ford

Ok, get a 2" body lift, 2" rear spacers, do a mild torsion bar crank, some shackles for the leafs in the rear, and put some 30's or 31's on. You'll begin to see the truck in a whole new light :) 30's won't put quite as much strain on your driveline components. The stock 235/75/15's are around 29", s...

Yea...my truck is the easiest vehicle to keep clean I've ever had. My 99 Ranger was black...and my 00 Sonoma was dark metallic blue....nuff said.

Yea...those mirrors go for around $15 on Ebay....although I'd opt for the more expensive version to be safe

After doing some research...I think an axle from a 2K and up Zr2 should have rear discs that will require no modifications as far as hooking them up. I'm pretty sure that's correct, but as always, I've been known to be wrong...

Blaze One, just cut your fenders out per Brule's templates, and then add spray on bed-liner to your rocker panels and lower fenders. This way you can go ahead and get the space you need in the feners, and then just add the flares if/when Justin makes them.

Got bored so I thought I'd update the pic a bit....

I know this is an old thread, but since I've owned land terrains on a previous vehicle, and now own AT/KO's, I thought I'd post for anyone still interested (plus I want to get to the red promotion :lol: ) The land terrains are decent tires. A very slight hum on the road, but barely noticeable with t...

Thank you

After have driven the stock Goodyear Wrangler RT/S tires for 20-30K miles, and then switching the BFGoodrich AT/KO's, I feel that I am adequatly qualified to submit my expert tire comparison. When thinking of ways to compare the tires, I could not find the words....mere words cannot describe the mes...

I'm not sure as I don't have one, but whenever the bug bites me to get more skid plates I'll be able to tell ya :D Check into the PA body lift. It'll be the best $200 you've ever spent. Makes a HUGE difference in the look and attitude of our trucks. You can also crank your torsion bars to get 1-2" i...

I have some bed caps I haven't put on yet that are made for the CC. I'll look at the invoice tomorrow and post the name of the site I got them from. They've been sitting in my shop for several months....just haven't gotten around to taking my toolbox off to put them on.....

So I take it your front diff is not locked?

OK...maybe that was worded wrong. Have the rear on jack stands, block the front wheels, then look around the rear.

You could get a tool chest and some black bedrails, but you'll have a hard time putting a toolbox on the bed and finding some short 2' long bedrails

I do enjoy the small hum they produce. It's not very noticable until I start stopping.

Plus I'll bet those insurance claims started piling up from all the Metro's and Kia's you unknowingly ran over.

You should reconsider spacers....many of us have been running them with no adverse effects. I've had mine on since I first bought the CC with no problems. You'll love the difference in the look they'll make.

ok will do.

My stock belt just broke. Luckilly I just drove up to work. Since I have it and what's needed, I'm gonna go ahead and install the March Pulleys and belt. My only problem is this: getting to the alternator pulley with an impact wrench. Any suggestions?

Yea, it is sad. Like I said, I've heard that the best thing to do is just head in yourself and you'll find things to do. That's what we were told the other day.

Does anyone have any pics of what a roof rack from a 2001 Blazer would look like on a crew? I picked on up from a friend for nothing, and am in the process of priming to spray it gloss black.

I once posted about this same issue. I think it's just one of those things that comes with the truck :? with 2" spacers on the back, my wheels line up almost evenly with the top of the stock fender opening, which I like. But sometimes I notice one side being just a little bit further out than the ot...

I want my wheels to line up with the flares as much as possible, and maybe even extend out a bit. I should be getting my 3" spacers soon and I'll post pics.

Eventually, when I see how the spacers fit with the flares and all, if I have room I might go with 32's...hopefully.

Cool. If you need a place to stay, let me know. We're probably 120-140 miles from Gulfport.

...it looks like you need some spacers in the rear I don't think there is going to be a "fix" for that. The rear flares need to be close to the same width as the front flares to retain some continuity and look somewhat correct. However the rear fenders on the "Isuzu" bed flare out as we well know. ...

Reed, to be honest with ya, I think the best way is to just come in and start working, but I think I know of someone I can contact. I'll check and get back to ya.

It really gives you a new perspective seeing things firsthand.... One of our guys that I know on another crew collapsed while we were down there and had to be taken to a hospital. He's ok, but they never would tell anyone what happened. I found out a few minutes ago that he stumbled over a little ch...

Hmmm....I have, or will have all the components.....anyone want to buy a set of AT KO 31x10.5x15's with only a few K miles on them? J/K, I need all the money I can get for the forseeable future.
