But its always fun talking crews and its making me want to mod my canyon now! Such a good infuence haha. Perhaps a lift is in...

bubaloo1983

Nice to hear from a bunch of you, I feel so special, lol Just kidding ;) Im waiting to hear back from the plastics company. Im hoping to god they just through them in storage or something. Those molds are crazy money and If I can get them to HenryJ, or better yet, get a few sets done up to help out ...

bubaloo1983

Awsome trip for sure! I will be around so for sure. My email is still badasscrewcab@hotmail.com or Justin@fab-all.com ( work ) Interesting. I will actually send and inquiry to the plastics supplier just to see what they say. Im wondering if it was a heat and timing process. Perhaps the first sets we...

bubaloo1983

Thats too bad its getting slower. But as long as there is a few its worth keeping up. I actually havent seen any crews around here lately in awhile. Its pretty wierd they are getting scarce :( The canyons, colorados are great trucks. and because its a chev, I still think its just the next gen s-10 ;...

bubaloo1983

Well hello s-10crewcab.net :) lonnnnnng time since i was on here. I was searching the dusty corners of the internet looking for some old pics of my crew and got a link here. and wow my user name still works and everything. holy crap. Hows everyone doing? HenryJ you still have that crew? If anyone st...

bubaloo1983

jeep front ends wont work very well unless you custom build around the axle. thats kinda what i tried at first and gave up and went leaves

bubaloo1983

aswell the pitman arm will help your steering overall. But looking at your set up it looked just like mine. add the pan hard and you will be fine

cheers

bubaloo1983

I think you may just have the same problem i did. My truck was to tall. When i first did my set up i went to get an alignment. They centered the steering and everything was good. But about 2 minutes down the road it as off again. It turns out my axle was moving side to side and screwing up the wheel...

bubaloo1983

what set up are you running? how tall is your truck>? do you have high steer? pan hard par? stock steering box?

let me know on those and i can help

bubaloo1983

a step by step list would be nice but requires alot of work from someone that has done one. I mean yah i could basically say type out the basics but there is so many things to consider and that you encounter along the way thats its hard to have it all on paper. alot is experimental. For instance whe...

bubaloo1983

you can have the skidz molds for 1500 bucks

no joke. all you need is to find a plastic shop and you can make the flares.

bubaloo1983

all the lights went out and didnt come back on for a bit untill we restarted. so i have found some info on this aswell just for the update. It seems that the ignition coil fails aswell as the ignition its self. over time your key gets stuck and everything. well this is crappy news for my cobalt but ...

bubaloo1983

i will check those brule thanks. yah i know fricking chevy! just sucks because you put your money into the american car and get screwed.

bubaloo1983

Hey guys I know this is our crew cab forum but i had a quik ? for you car gurus. My wife just bought a new cobalt in the summer and it only has 12000 kms on it. Anyway way the other day she was driving and when she accelerated it lost power turned off. the lights went off and every thing. when she t...

bubaloo1983

rear shackles are 2 inches of lift over stock shackle mounts are the same as stock. my front shackle mountes were made i think about 4 inches under the front bumber or so from what i can remember.

bubaloo1983

i had 3 inch blocks in the rear with 2 inch lift shackles plus 4 inch lift springs. aswell the spring mounts were custom made to provide a higher mounting point. so approx 16 inches of lift. I eventually added a track bar front and rear as my steering was all over the place . it helped center the ax...

bubaloo1983

laser progrmming and quality control, PLus the company i work for just moved to a huge building and the move was even more of a work load. we are really busy right now because we are behind so im working alot of 12 hour days, but its ok because I get time and a half so its worth it

bubaloo1983

pretty much yah. plus i didnt want to pay the fees any more. the company that was dealing with it were complete idiots, they kept sending me bills i had already paid ect. just bad customer service. that and the fact im not doing any of it right now as im working on my new job which has insane hours.

bubaloo1983

poor dear.....you eat them right? i dunno i have never really been around hunting lol

bubaloo1983

not knocking your interest at all. im like you as the customer i want them now well they are still good to me. Im just knocking other opinions that seem to wear themselves out after awhile. anyway your set up sounds good. just do lots of planning trim them fenders and take your time. AND make sure t...

bubaloo1983

i did not loose interest.... i lost money. the main reason i see mike giving up rather quikly aswell, if he ever finsihes the flares. can anyone figure out why it takes him so long to get them done? because the molds alone are 5000$ and thats just for wood. to fiber glass them up is another 4 grand....

bubaloo1983

yah without a production stye quantity the cost goes up

bubaloo1983

i have taken some time away to focus on work. but i can still make them but not for 65 bucks as of right now. i will get back into some metal work next year sometime

bubaloo1983

bubaloo1983

it was ball joints ect that went bad after the cranks. and i actually didnt over do it either. maybe 1 inch of lift on all of them. I just am not a supporter of the t bar crank any more. aswell once the warrnty runs out on my zr2 i will probably just put a 2 inch bpdy lift in it and run 32s and that...

bubaloo1983

torsion bars are fine uncranked but cranked in my last 3 trucks have been nothing but trouble. im leaving mine alone this time and i must say the ride is really nice, i guess i cuoldnt remember with the last trucks being cranked.

bubaloo1983

the stock mounts are going to hold the truck up? i wouldnt think so you may have to prove me wrong on this.

if anyone is up for the challenge let me know haha

bubaloo1983

yah these suck the gas thats for sure! if you can keep it i would but if the $ is to much theres not mch you can do but sell

bubaloo1983

the stock shock points i wouldnt think could hold a coil over.

bubaloo1983

my crew had only 55 kms on it though and was an 03. how much does your blazer have? i got my jimmy at a kia dealer, they had just got it in on a trade for a fricking rio. odds are you wont get that kinda money for your truck, mine was one of a kind and it LOOKED expensive.

bubaloo1983

I got 21 grand for my truck and only owed 16 they sold it already for 27000! plus they replaced the rear end. god only knows what else is wrong with it but i didnt tell them that!! alot of sqeaks and leaks thats for sure. :S The zedr2 meet was in alberta out side calgary. we had like 6 zr2s there an...

bubaloo1983

Yah i love these trucks. they are perfect size for me and i have had 4 of them now. a 1992 jimmy. my sonoma aswell as a 94 jimmy and now this zr2. The sonoma was just a beast it was more of a see what i could do then daily driver. the sfa was great and all but like i said other stuff was busted and ...

bubaloo1983

well the crew cab is gone. just to many problems with the big lit and tires. it needed a new rear end now just like the front awhile back. I have learned something with these trucks you just cant mod the heck out of them. couple of mods for some hieght and your set but 35s and lots of lift break stu...

bubaloo1983

my material supplier is kinda being a "bad word". They are not taking my claim for the material being bad. its really annoying im still fighting with them.

bubaloo1983

i sent him replacements that i had made for him and its pretty much been determined that his set were faultly parts bad forming and are one of a kind.

bubaloo1983

yah when i was ifs that was the best mod i did for my lift.

bubaloo1983

those hanging t bars will kill ya

bubaloo1983

so im hoping that the first set was bad and the rest are fine

anyway...

bubaloo1983

although this could be a bad batch as henrys are original non production parts i recomend less screws. henryJ may disagree with me on this but my flares only have 5 screws on the fronts and 6 on the backs. HJ has double that. although this does not justify anything that has gone wrong with his set i...

bubaloo1983

i know im sorry man

businss has been slow lately. its wierd how the states and canada have wierd laws from each other. my tires ( before the flares) stuck out like 8 inches ( fronts not rears) out the fenders and i never had trouble where as you guys in some states do. kinda wierd.

bubaloo1983

once i have the last 2 sets sold im thinking of keeping a set for spares so you can have that one

the guy on ebay who bought a set never paid so im back to 3 sets left.

bubaloo1983

wierd,

i havent seen it, i smack my flare sall the time when im wheeling and havent cracked it. interesting. yah i can drop you a flare in a bit.

bubaloo1983

well thanks for your thoughts guys. i did the report and it said i have to wait untill the 28th which would be one week. so i guess three days isnt that bad...yet

bubaloo1983

dang thats a brutal scam.
people these days

bubaloo1983

auction ended by buy it now 3 days ago. in the description it says paypal only at auction end. I have tried 3 messages plus the invoice from ebay.

other bad thing is the buyer has no feed back at all so it could just be a screw over.

bubaloo1983

i like that idea

bubaloo1983

hey guys just wondering what you thoughts would be in dealing with a ebay buyer that hasnt paid after a few days and wont respond to messages.

someone bought some flares on ebay from me but hasnt said anyting or paid. any thoughts on what to do?

bubaloo1983

i do make the skidz for these trucks but everything is on order now as its becoming a rare truck. its just not worth holding the stock any more

i hate to see the s-series dying!

bubaloo1983

yah i sent you alot just in case you ever needed more walt

bubaloo1983

i do have lots if you need it though

bubaloo1983

yah it does look mad buffed

bubaloo1983

this is the only one i have as i dont have a camera to take some right now, but this pic is with the touch up paint so unless your really really close you dont notice. the light area around the flare isnt the touched up area either thats just the trim with a reflection. so you should try it works we...

bubaloo1983

well good luck on the install anyway. You should think about buying the gm match paint and do a small touch up. I will try and get an upclose pic of my truck and you can see what it looks like

bubaloo1983

I hate that damage caused by the rear stockers. It sucks! i wish i could change it but i cant :( however i just bought gm matching paint and ran a line of it down the side of the fender. then installed the flares you cant notice at all because the flares almost cover it and then the new color masks ...

bubaloo1983

Umm i noticed your paint circle after the rear flare removal. that would mean the zr5 flares for the s-10 are larger then the regular ones that are crew comes with the cover up the izuzu lines. That licks. sorry about that as mine covered my lines after the install

bubaloo1983

dang thats a nice looking rig

bubaloo1983

yah i would go with the superlift one personally just for simplicity

bubaloo1983

yah it wont work for the superlift your right i didnt notice that. The plates are beaded 10 ga steel. .136 thick. There pretty tough with the beading. they are from along time ago and i just found them the other day. in a corner of the garage lol. They are second gen only. Rusty i never made a set f...

bubaloo1983

i have old steel ones you can have for 40 bucks shipped if you would like

it has an oil door aswell

bubaloo1983

he has flares so hes set for them 31s

bubaloo1983

dang thats a sweet truck man!

bubaloo1983

Yah if it does wam i will send you some new stuff

bubaloo1983

Kinda wierd i just used the stock one. I didnt even change anything. I just had to get the high steer and it was bang on

I guess it depends on your set up

bubaloo1983

wait thoughts? lol

bubaloo1983

Nice! Looks frickin sweet

maybe i will just make some pocket styles....

lol

bubaloo1983

i wonder how many votes you would actually need to get something from a large company into production?

bubaloo1983

If there is problems with it as a warranty concern i will replace it for those that are having trouble. But for the most part the old trim should be ok. I think it depends how hot the place is you live lol.

bubaloo1983

as i said in the other thread thats the stuff lol

I will point out it was brule that found it so i give him the credit

bubaloo1983

It is the same trim as henry had

just for the record lol

bubaloo1983

This may be true as my friend bought a car from overseas a little while ago off ebay. Said the shipper did all the work and he just went and picked it up. I forget what kinda car it is, but i thought it was pretty ugly lol

bubaloo1983

I would start with the mystery lift and if its not enough later go with the sl

bubaloo1983

I second the pics of flare sfor sure, to be honest i have a whole bunch saved from most of the guys lol i like seeing the sweet done out crew

bubaloo1983

Yah time frames are tough, But with my truck off the road im saving alot on gas and insurance. Although i have to pay my insurance company almost three grand, i have a year to pay it so i thought iw ould take this oppurtunity to get these done finally. Its tough to do when tooling is quite high to m...
