TB is cranked, not sure how much. Both boots are slinging grease. Backspacing on new wheels is 4.5"

kermit

So I went afterschool to get my 33x10.5s mounted on my new wheels yesterday.... and they rubbed the frame a little too much for my comfort. The guys at the local shop are really nice, one of them is a hunting buddy, so he brought me out and showed me exactly what was going on. He also showed me that...

While those are nice, they don't come close to having the presence of, let alone the name, HUMMER.

kermit

We all love our S10 crewcabs... they just lack ground clearance.
How about a Hummer H3 crewcab? That should solve the ground clearance problem!

kermit

speed kills... gas mileage, that is.
Anytime I tow, even if its just my 14' jon boat, I ride the throttle and let the truck pick up speed down hill and slow it down up hill -- which is just keeping the rpms below 2000 like previously stateed.

kermit

I thought those were two different trucks before I read the post. Nicely done.

kermit

the best thing to do is to snatch up a set of Skidz cut outs ... there wasn't as much work as I had expected for the install and it makes a HUGE difference as far as opening up the wheel well!

kermit

I Like It!

kermit

NICE!

I'm almost there! My body lift was finished a while back, and today my dad and I installed the flares. All I'm waiting on now are wheels to mount some tires on! ... looks kinda funny with the 30x9.5s on the N90s with no spacers... hopefully the wheels will arrive soon!

kermit

Kudos to everyone with their awesome trucks!

Can't say that i've ever seen a bad looking crewcab!

Look in the glovebox..

most later models have 3.42s, most earlier models have 3.73s ... I think?

kermit

F9K9, how long did it take after you ordered your caps for them to come in?

kermit

my CC was doing the same thing thrusday, I had a loose battery cable. Since I tightened it back up, I haven't had any problems

I hear ya! I don't know any recipes for antlers. I just had some fried cubed steak, rice, and gravy for dinner last night... and it sure was tasty!

kermit

I think I found the problem...

The ground cable to the battery was loose, possibly from the body lift... tightened it back down and so far, so good.

kermit

i don't think it had anything to do with the gas, i had 1/2 tank

it only shut off when i shifted out of park and into gear....

kermit

... so I was driving along to school this morning, obeying the speed limit and what not. I put my turn signal on to turn right just like I always do, applied the brakes, and just as I began turning the steering wheel, the engine shuts off and my steering locks up! :shock: I slammed on brakes stoppin...

DEER #3 !!!!!!!!

shot in full stride chasing a doe "baah, baah, baah" were his last words!

6pt 16" spread 150# rutted down

one shot. one kill. right behind the shoulder ... double lung shot; rolled him like a biscuit!

kermit

lift it and then put 17's on it!

nah.. I'd agree w/ HJ on this one. As much as I'd like to see another CC modded, the less you spend on it, the more you can trick out the Xtreme.

kermit

Thanks for the info! FYI ... the truck is dark green, and black is definitely the direction i was headed! What is your timeline on this Kermit? Am kinda looking forward to having a second CC on the 9.50s or 10.50s :wink: The CC is my DD... so its being worked on whenever time permits, given that at...

BODY LIFT COMPLETE! The flares are next on the to-do list, so I need to get the right wheel/backspacing configuration from y'all. Any suggestions on where to snag some wheels at a good price?

kermit

$1.97 for 87 octane yesterday!

kermit

Congratulations on a successful hunt! :D Did they help you dress the deer David? oh yes,,,they held the legs out of the way for me. :lol: i did most of the dressing,,,,the "smell" seemed to bother them the most. i was asked by both boys "how can you stand that??" i said i've done a few,, you just ge...

kermit

Im have a set of flares sitting in the shop, and the funds have been allocated for the lift... i just have to decide on the tire/wheel combo now

kermit

i hear ya. what about some 285/75/15 ... actual diameter 31.8? how bad do you're 33x10.5s rub?

kermit

My 30x9.5s are seriously balding, BL is on the way, i have flares, and was wanting to try 32x11.5s.... any suggestions on wheel/backspacing combinations?

kermit

saweeet!!!!!

just curious... how much do you have invested in that monster?

kermit

that's pretty BA, im not gonna lie

kermit

for how much? what's replacing it?

kermit

i could even personalize it if you sent me a pic of your truck off-road!

Think you could do a full truck sketch of a lifted Zr5 with mud dripping off it?

oh yeah!
maybe i should post it in the classifieds when i'm done

thank you. thank you.

Check it out! ZR5 slingin a little mud

telephone pole looks like a giant cb antenna coming from the toolbox

Awesome pics! 8) But I have to say, kermit is bone stock except for a tb crank and 30x9.5 BFGs and none of that terrain looks unconquerable; granted, nothing looks the same in person. You'll never know until you try, or as we like to say down here, "Hol' my beer and watch'iss sh*t!" :shock: (EDIT: K...

okay... so its been a while since I posted about this... but I've just been knocking the pin back in place and adding a little grease... Today I finally went by Advanced Auto Parts after work and asked about the door spring tool and they had no idea what i was talking about. Is it not that common or...

i second that!

kermit

did you measure them top to bottome or right to left? the weight of the truck could have the top to bottom measurement compressed if the air pressure is low. i could be completely wrong though...

kermit

some superlift options from 4wheelonline
the third one includes multiple shock mounts with 6 bilstiens

EDIT: the featured picture looks like a photoshopped version of KCustom's truck

kermit

Its close to $2,000 without tires. That price is exactly why I have opted to go with the body lift, skidz cut-outs, and rear springs... its almost half the total of the SL. AND... you can run almost the same size tires!

kermit

looks good border man! how big are your tires?

kermit

skidz flares, bigger tires? maybe a bug deflector? ... i agree, your truck looks sick, but it's missing some spice somewhere...

kermit

30x9.5 is do-able without a lift kit. i just cranked the torsion bar and have had few problems with rubbing.

kermit

one things for sure, that hemi's got a lot more power than our vortec! congrats on the new ride. Is it too early to call dibs on parts? haha, only kidding.

kermit

Thanks for the help; now to find a buddy to hold the door!

kermit

would that apply to the leather seat rubbing against the consol too?

kermit

Lately my door has been making a creaking noise everytime I open it. I figured something just needed some lube, but after furthe inspection the bushing is gone one the upper hinge pin. Does anyone know how hard it might be to replace one, or will I have to take it to the dealer?

Thanks

kermit

do you not like your thornbirds?

kermit

I've got 30x9.5 BFG ATs with just a tbar crank. Rubbing was insignificant and they diefinately fill out the wheel well to give it a beefier look.

kermit

and 3 people who go off topic in the middle of a post to be funny

seriously, though... i'll have to remember the dark suckers. that is a novel concept indeed!

kermit

wow, nice ride and WELCOME

kermit

i remember seeing a rack and lights on warnoffroad's truck imagestation gallery

kermit

yup, that's the one

kermit

seems like i remember seeing an orange/blue SEMA crew cab? i'll see if i can find that one

kermit

hmm.... it doesn't look like that much of a difference from the photos

kermit

doesn't that have larger bed than our CC's? it says 6.5 in the KBB article; i didn't think ours was that long?

i like the muddy look better than the clean one

and i'd have to say that the mud is more fun than climbing hills.... but put them together - now that's some fun!

kermit

any guesses on the tire size?

kermit

sweet ride, love the big tires

kermit

That is definately a badass ride. I like the revised front fascia, but the lights would look better without the bar in the middle.

I wouldn't know what to do with that much power in an off-road vehicle.... but I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to get into trouble, and even easier to pull out of it.

kermit

i think any of these would be an excellent choice

BFGoodrich Family SUV Tires

kermit

nice ride, i like the yellow lights. way to stand out from the crowd

kermit

what kills the mileage is acceleration (which is terrible) when the truck goes 'gear hunting'

kermit

i think the mud complements the sweet new look very well!

personally, i prefer to drive a muddy truck over a shiny one... lets everyone where your priorities are!

kermit

we've had 60-70 degree weather all week down in central SC, no snow but lots of rain makes for lots of mud

with all of the advantages, i guess 1.5" isn't that big of a difference...

kermit

my tbars are already cranked (to the max, i believe, not positive though) and the truck is about level, i was wondering if the leafs would make that much of a difference?

just curious if it is worth the money

kermit

HJ, is your truck level, front to rear? Or is the rear a little higher because of the extra leaf springs? I'd like to keep my truck as level as possible when everything is said and done, and still fit the larger tires under it. If your rear end is much higher, are the extra leafs necessary for tire ...

kermit

I've actually seen that done with a Ford minivan, early 90s model, i think -- the ones that look like dustbusters. It still had the sliding rear doors and bed rails.

kermit

yes, the ground is fine....

of couse, i wasn't thinking when i checked the fuses and turns out i looked at the wrong one....

fuse was bad. just replaced it. all is good again.

thanks
