theres a white crew cab around me that either has 18's or 20's not sure what size. he's got at least a body lift and a cowl induction hood. not sure about anything else though.

bwenny247

very cool and innovative set-up

I'm can't wait to see when its all done with that V8 up front!

its been cold in northern michigan, but not much snow to speak of. january 12 was the last day that we were above freezing. yesterday we hit mid 20's and it felt GREAT! :lol: we even had a week straight below zero.....but not much snow. Mid michigan got a good blizzard and had 3 feet of snow dropped...

bwenny247

the trump card

no worries about crushing on that exhaust

bwenny247

jdeller, good to see you made it onto this site! Basically, if you want to know anything about these trucks...someone on here will help you out. i think a body lift, add-a-leafs or shackles, and a mild TB crank is just where the crewcabs need to be

look forward to seeing before and after shots!

when i had my 33X12.50's and 3.42 gears i would get around 15 MPG on the freeway (75 MPH) and 12-13 in town. re-gearing won't really help you out a whole lot, i think the biggest advantage to re-gearing would be to avoid downshifting while cruising, acceleration (which i didn't feel was too bad with...

bwenny247

well first of all welcome to the "crew" 8) don't know about the shock numbers but i sure would like to see some pics! and you're planting a 350 in your crew!?! that thing will run like a scalded cat!!! i'm sure someone on here will fill you in on the vitals. just wanted to say howdy and PLEASE post ...

bwenny247

IMHO the best thing to do for better millage is nothing. take all the money you would spend in add-ons and put it in your gas tank. let's do a little math you currently get 15 MPG in town and we'll say gas is $2.25 a gallon and you fill up once a week and a half with 16 gallons, you get 240 miles on...

bwenny247

most importantly i'm glad that you're (relatively) alright. secondly i'm glad that your family is alright. sorry to hear of the loss of your crew cab, but it looks like it bit the bullet for you. i felt the same way when i crashed my s-10 at 45 MPH. the truck took all the damage and saved my life. y...

bwenny247

geez looks like you me and HJ all were writing posts at the same time.....LOL, that's a good one.

bwenny247

F9 I'd be sad to see your truck go, just like i am anyones on here. but at least you're getting a wheeler and a daily driver out of it. i too think you should get more then $12,000 out of the crew. you've got a ton of mods and very little millage on that truck. i'd throw a price tag out there around...

bwenny247

i usually wear one of these solar powered ones like this
claims to never need a battery ever.
but it seems to be shotty in overcast conditions

bwenny247

we were supposed to get hit hard up here. it was a blizzard on Friday morning as i made my 45 mile commute to school. i was all over the road and didn't even realize it. no plows, i would run my tires over the rumble strips on the right side of the road, then 20 seconds later i'd be on the left side...

bwenny247

could have used that forcast about 2 weeks ago during deer season. we've had mid 50's and rain for the last 2 days and it's not supposed to get any better over the next 3-4.
stay safe on those icy roads....watch out for the other drivers

cheaper mods: i agree with the underdrive pulleys, the K&N FIPK is good if you run 3500 RPMS to redline, nice free flowing exhaust, smooth bore throttle body spacer, bigger throttle body, electric fans, MAF sensor (although i don't know about these) Little more expensive/intensive: cam, headers, hea...

Nicely done my friend 8) all i've seen is does and yearlings, no horns yet. my cousin got a spike, uncle passed on a 4 point, same cousin missed a 4 point with his handgun at 30 yards, different uncle missed a 6 point on the run with his handgun. buck count is way up according to the reports thus fa...

opening day is only 2 days away! i'm starting to toss and turn with sleepless nights and bucks running through my mind. i went out to re-bait my pile on Thursday, I found 2 fresh scrapes, droppings, worn down trails, and one pine tree that got tore up within the last 4 days :D now for the bad news.....

bwenny247

you can always try ABC warehouse (if they have them around you) you can really hassle those guys down on their prices because they're paid on commition. I got my Sony Cyber shot 7.2 Mexapixel with a 1GB memory card for $290 which was listed at $299 without a memory card to start.

Rumor had been going around that my truck was spotted on campus a couple times by various people earlier in the semester. today, the guy i sold it to called me out of the blue and asked what size belt i used when i did my underdrive pulleys. I'm gonna see if he can get me any updates on what he's do...

bwenny247

gairbear: what do you have done for lift? do your tires rub the frame at all? what's the backspacing on those rims? any spacers? i think i remember steve2003 saying that he rubbed 31X10.50's with the 6" SL and i believe jeggers had rubbing with 6" SL and 2" Body lift with his 32X11.50's and i obviou...

being in this 20 something crowd i can offer my views on this topic. this lazyness and lack of respect IS representative of todays typical youth. as i finish my last (5th) year of college it's ever apparent where society is going, and it is not good. the youth of today, the future of society, have a...

bwenny247

paid $2.02 for 89 octane mid-grade yesterday
today it went up to $2.21

kinda sucks because gas prices were part of the reason i sold my truck

I'm driving 300-350 miles a week and with the crews 15-16 MPG it wasn't looking good at $3.00+ a gallon

bwenny247

i opened my lower valence tow hook opening up with a utility knife and left the very bottom lip in place so they still mouned in the stock location

just another option

bwenny247

keep a close eye on the gas gauge, watch it do a trick when it gets around a 1/4 tank left. now you see it, POOF now you don't and you're on E!

I prefer to use a rifle (30.06) in most of my hunting as well, but do have a shotgun for use when a rifle isn't practical. Here are our tools of the trade top left to bottom right: 1.

nice follow up on getting a raw deal at the tire shop! I'll have to call BS on that rim to narrow for a 10.50 tire excuse. I ran 12.50's on an 8" rim....difference of 4.5"s you're running 10.50's on a 7" rim a difference of only 3.5"s and this guy off the BDS site is running 12.50's on what look lik...

For the first time BDS now has suggested retail prices for their lift kits posted online. they revamped their entire website to be user friendly in finding lift kits for vehicle, year, style specific trucks the crew-cab lift comes in at a suggested $2077.35 http://www.bds-suspension.com/php/ProductS...

bwenny247

i'll guess $1500

bwenny247

haha, back to the genius of the $20/20 minute exhaust idea. in 3 years you only have to invest another 20 bucks, plus you still retain the GM stainless pipes everywhere else.

bwenny247

i'll chip in my $20 (if that) exhaust idea again. just go to a muffler shop and have them cut out your muffler and put in a test pipe. 20 bucks and 20 minutes (if that). that'll free up your exhaust for cheap. you can add a nice tip for style if you'd like do the airbox mod and buy a K&N replacement...

woah steve, need to put on my shades

truck is blingy

looks good man, i like how you're doing stuff nobody else has

bwenny247

i always thought of the 4.3L as a "grunt" motor, good low end torque with lacking horsepower to match the torque numbers. i think the more emphasis on low end power yields the bad gas millage. :? if it was balanced more like 250 horse and 250 ft lbs of torque that still got 22-23 MPG then i could ju...

why aren't you going 32X11.50? i think that tire would look real nice on your setup. i think procomp makes a 31X12.50....how about that, that'll give you the wide stance you want? i think the 33X9.50 will look a little too pizza cutterish if you try to stick them way out, i do however like the look ...
