We call them dirt bikes with headlights.

SomeCrew

I would only get that bike if I was going to be doing stunts. That is a stunt bike. They cover it up like that to keep the farings from getting scrathed up if they mess up.

SomeCrew

yea, but only another inch in ride height.

SomeCrew

This is my next vehicle purchase

SomeCrew

Yea, but that is not right, I am telling you guys when I called them thats not what they said... I am not even sure about that headlight and taillight height thing. All I know is when I called the DMV, they told me it was either 29 or 31" from the lowest point on your body... A buddy of mine called ...

SomeCrew

Jeff, call maryland MVA or state police dept. I am telling you they told me it was either 29" or 31" (I forgot which one) from the lowest point on your body...

SomeCrew

I will buy your bed rails

SomeCrew

Jeggers, I have a question... On your centerlink, are the 2 top mounts for the pitman and idler arms welded at the same angle?...because mine are not

SomeCrew

Superlift is whooping my butt.... Now I have a defective part. The centerlink is bad, the mount for the pitman arm was welded on wrong and is too twisted to fit the arm... I called Superlift, and they said they will have me the new part by Wednesday. So thats 2 days wasted. We would have had the fro...

SomeCrew

Stupid superlift

SomeCrew

Anyone who installed a superlift kit, I have a question needs answering about the front end. Did anyone have to do any extra cutting on the rear lower control arm mount to make that crossmember fit right? The cut I am talking about is so the top flange with the 2 bolt holes can sit up in the mount s...

SomeCrew

OK, well after day 1, here is how it went. Noone showed up except me and Ryan (4-wheel tech). We worked on it for about 6 hours or so. Got the whole front dissasembled. Marked the frame for cutting, and tomorrow ready to cut and finish the front end. Also order TB keys today because with that heavy ...

Is that it?

SomeCrew

Probably changing the subject here, I am assuming the t-bar keys are for lifting, and im also assuming its better than cranking the t-bars, so where can I find them to buy?

SomeCrew

Is our thread style 22MMx1.50?

SomeCrew

Thanks for the tip, any other tips you got that we can use?

SomeCrew

Old rock is OK sometimes, I like Guns N Roses, ACDC, Metallica, Alice N Chains, and so on and so forth...

SomeCrew

You gotta like Our Lady Peace, though... Bubaloo, I KNOW you gotta like some Our Lady Peace, since they are from Canada! Edit: here is pretty much all alternative/punk bands that I like..I may have missed one or two... OUR LADY PEACE! (the best), Trapt, Blink 182, Sum 41, Seether, Good Charlotte, Si...

SomeCrew

Well....I am helping (more like getting food and drink for anyone who needs it

)

A buddy of mine who does all off-road mechanical stuff... and a bunch of my friends who are mechanics for Fox Chevrolet are really going to do it.

I may video tape the install...

SomeCrew

Nice work man! Don't forget to post pictures!!!!

SomeCrew

Oh, then you got to get into the new alternative/punk bands like The Used and The Ataris, and The Killers, and Jimmy Eat World and stuff, really good songs.

SomeCrew

Mine just arrived today!!!

Plan on starting the install this weekend

SomeCrew

I figured I would start an off-the-wall topic just to get a taste of what kind of music everyone listens to. Me personally, I listen to a lot of alternative, punk rock, and country. You all probably dont know who Our Lady Peace is, but they are my favorite band. After that I like: Country: Kenny Che...

SomeCrew

Ok, I admit it, I made an overpirced purchase, can everyone forgive me?

SomeCrew

Hmm.... lets see here. Well I went to the dealership in search of a crew cab truck. Not knowing that they made the S-10 crew cab when I went (NOONE, and I mean NOONE around my way had one), I was looking for a full size. I didn't make the money that I make now, so a full-size was out of the question...

SomeCrew

D@mn skippige they are!

SomeCrew

Well I appreciate it, but I would rather have the warranty, makes me feel safe...for some reason. and the extra 70 bucks didnt matter, all being bought with tax money anywho...

SomeCrew

Yes, but these have lifetime warranties, and like Rusty said, and this guy said, WAY better quality then those japanese e-bay ones.

SomeCrew

You guys are seriously getting me interested in buying one of these...
I do a lot of camping in the summer, and I was going to buy the truck tent, but these look much much better!

SomeCrew

Yes, supercharger sounds like a superb idea!!!!

SomeCrew

Just thought you would want to know. I just ordered my wheels spacers out of some guy in California, 150$ shipped. There is no online ordering, you just submit your information and he calls you back with a quote. He called me back in 15 minutes and had them made and shipped out that same day. I was ...

SomeCrew

tax return money?

SomeCrew

Thanks for the info guys!

Its just something that interests me, maybe a project one day down the road when there is nothing else to do with my truck and I am feeling adventurous!

SomeCrew

Alright, well HJ will probably make a new thread out of this, but I will ask here anywho. What all is involved in a SAS swap? Like parts, work, etc...

SomeCrew

I really would not mine doing SAS as a project, but that sounds really expensive and time comsuming...

Split topic-HJ

SomeCrew

Thanks guys!

SomeCrew

How many cranks on the TB does it take to get to 2". Or does it stop at 2". Just some heads up info for me, thanks.

SomeCrew

Bubaloo is right. Me and Gocnrty installed one in 5 minutes, and it only consists of 6 bolts....

SomeCrew

I happen to like the tire coming out a little, not a foot though! Makes it look wider, and more masculine, but not a foot though!

SomeCrew

Someone has that new oil, i forgot who, they say it lasts for like 50,000 miles....

Only thing I can't make any sense out of is even though your oil lasts that long, your oil filter will not, so either way, after 3,000 you need to change the oil....

SomeCrew

Just cut a square whole in the skid play and put a door there, so you dont have to take the skid plate off every time...

SomeCrew

Bubaloo, you should have a PM, I think my internet is acting up, so just lemme know if you didnt get the PM with my address.

SomeCrew

Just signed up for all of them, thanks HJ!

SomeCrew

Goooooood question. I can understand the rubbing issused when turning the wheel, but what is up with the wheel bearing issues?

SomeCrew

HAHAHA, GREAT! I just got rims with 3.25" backspacing! I feel all comfortable now!

SomeCrew

You know I am buying some....soon as I come accross 75 bucks (my nextel bill was way too much this month), I shall send you money.

SomeCrew

Eh, I'm going for it, learn the problems as they arise and get them fixed, I will pay the price to play

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions/comments/concerns/preparations. Knew I could count on y'all.

SomeCrew

Yea, but Bubaloo, you do some serious off-roading, could explain the quicker wear on your parts, am I correct in this assumption?

SomeCrew

Well...I could always just keep my 30" tires are roll around on them and use the 35"s for show purposes...

SomeCrew

Good point. Why doesn't someone just make a nice factory lifted truck and put it in production?

SomeCrew

If your low on blinker fluid, you might want to also check the muffler bearings...

SomeCrew

Made lots of sense, thanks. It is going to be my daily driver, but It will only be driven about 10-15 miles per day on average, most of the time less than that. Like I said, wouldn't be any fun if there was no risk involved and parts didn't break, "price you pay to play the game." So I am ready for ...

SomeCrew

Warrenty just ended on my truck, except for the ECU, I believe they are under wannenty until 80,000 miles. Yes I am ready for the feul increase, I make enough $$. Yes I am ready to replace ball joints, tie rod ends, and wheel bearings. I make enough $$ plus I had some of my buddies stockpile a few n...

SomeCrew

Oh oh oh the greatest thing just happened. One ofmy buddies pulled up and gave me 4 free 35x12.5 tires!

SomeCrew

Are you sure Jeff024? I called the State Police and that is what they told me, 31" from the lowest point on your body.

SomeCrew

OK holy cow, im confused now... I thought that with backspacing, the more you have, the closer the wheel will be to the frame, and the less you have the farther from the frame u will be. For example a rim with 3" backspacing will stick out more than a rim with 5" backspacing. I am reading a few othe...

SomeCrew

That sucks man, what state do you live in?

SomeCrew

OK so what parts should I make sure are there. Just a heads up so I don't have to go through every part. Lemme know that parts that they messed up the most so I can narrow it down...

SomeCrew

My lift is supposed to be getting mailed out straight from Superlift, so hopefully they dont miss anything or mess any sizes up!

SomeCrew

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

I am having my buddies at Fox Chevy stockpile me CV Boots and ball joints and stuff, so I am OK there.

As with the lift law, Maryland says you can have a max of 31" from the lowest part of your body. I think I will be fine in that department.

SomeCrew

Bottom line is, after seeing KCustom's truck on 35"s, I am determined to do the same!

SomeCrew

Well I wouldn't have posted if I didn't want your opinion HJ, so thanks. I know superlift recomends 33" tires, but I will be adding 4" of extra lift with the BL and shackles. I will not be taking this truck offroading anymore, due to the fact that I want to show it. Yes it is my daily driver, howeve...

SomeCrew

Well what do you think about it all if the fenders are cut? Think that will work? Or still with the ball-joint and wheel-bearing issues.

SomeCrew

OK, for me to better understand exactly what your talking about, I needt o knoe what IFS and SFA means.

SomeCrew

As long as it rubs the frame, and not the fender, I will not care all that much.
If I were to bring it out more with like 3 inches of backspacing or so, I run the risk of rubbing the fenders, that can cause bad things for the tires/the truck. At least this is what my buddy Ryan "Mr. Chevy" says.

SomeCrew

OK, just talked to who we like to call "Mr. Chevy." He informed me that I will not need cutting on my fenders if the following is done: -2" BL -6" SL - Shackles from Bubaloo - TB crank He said as long as I have all that, I will be just fine with 35"s with rims that have 5" backspacing, with no fende...

SomeCrew

I personally like these, but they don't have the proper back-spacing I am looking for...

SomeCrew

They look like Ford wheels!

SomeCrew

OK, speaking of rims, does anyone know of a good rim to buy for cheap and where?

I am looking for a 15x10 rim with 5" of backspacing.

Any suggestions?

SomeCrew

Alright, well I will try without cutting first because I am gonna be using 5" backspacing.

I can always cut later if there is a problem.

SomeCrew

Can you get the wires mixed up? I never checked the wiring harness on an s-10, but if you can, did you check that? Also, I noticed on the trail ride that your passenger side light and brake light were dimmer than the drivers side.

SomeCrew

Are you using any kind of spacers on the wheels?

If I trim my front fenders, will I have to trim the front and the back of them? or just the back of them?

Pretty decent price on them shackles. I will let you know in a PM some time this week or next week when I order them...

SomeCrew

You can get some goldfish

SomeCrew

Think a 1.5 inch shackle in the rear will do it?

If so, how much will you charge for them?
