    Painting rally wheel rim

    I did mine in AMC electric blue metallic This is an old picture but it’s the only one I have of them in the sun. I did them this color when I first built the truck in 1997, so I did them the same this time. It really pops once the center caps and rings go on

    New guy from North California

    Welcome, from Northern California too… My preference for half ton short bed with 33’s is about 3” of lift. Here’s an old picture of mine with 3.5” re-arched springs in the front and 3” blocks in back. Sorry, no info on who makes the best riding springs.

    Packrat chewed wires--what was this?

    I believe the black plastic was just a factory crimp... BUT, the section of wire you replaced should probably be a fusible link not just standard automotive wire. The terminal on the firewall is connected to the battery through the starter and possibly the alternator and is otherwise unfused...

    Finding Serpentine Belt Lengths

    I went through about 6 before I figured out exactly what belt to get for mine and it’s all factory stuff. Good luck Sir.

    1984 K10 Steering Column question.

    Not sure if the difficult key removal is related to the wobbly column. These four torx headed bolts loosen up over time causing the column to wobble. It’s quit the job breaking the column down this far but, if you remove the wheel, lock plate, and turn signal switch you can get to two of them...

    Mandrel exhaust shop

    I bought a flow master builder kit when I started my project, really happy with it but it has gone up in price quite a bit since I bought it. It came with enough parts to choose several different tailpipe locations, would have fit many different wheel bases, and an H-pipe option. The only...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I’ve been tempted to build something like this for my blast cabinet. Without a vac line hooked it gets so dusty to see what you’re doing. With a vac hooked up it just about kills the vacuum because the filter gets plugged immediately.

    FRONT DIFF SWAP

    Keep JK, JL, and JT all have Dana 44 DS differentials (depending upon options) and a few different widths options. Not sure if the widths would work in a square. They are commonly swapped by the jeep guys for Dana 60’s and can be found on Craigslist nearly new for about 1000-1500 with the 4:10...

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Here’s a how it works to assist The inner part of your column which is moved by the shift lever has a square hole that moves a tab on the underside of the NSS Here’s the tab I was referring to, this is my old switch. Looks like the old switches have two screws in slotted holes behind it...

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Yup ^^^^ I’m not sure if they all adjust the same but the new one I put on my project can just be pushed left and right without tools. Some may have screws with slotted holes you would need to loosen up to adjust. Put the column in park -Disconnect the plug on NSS with purple/yellow wire...

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    IDK…. Since your key won’t come out is the column shifted into “Park”? If the column isn’t in park the neutral switch will prevent starting and the key cylinder will keep the key from being removed. Did you bump the neutral safety switch while working on the switch? The neutral switch I am...

    Trailer Wiring Adapter

    I thought so too…. I had no idea these even existed. I would have just cut into the factory wiring, but this is way better

    ‘87 V-10 with automatic, part number 21445 for carpet, but you are right ACC doesn’t offer headliner

    LMC carpet color for '87 standard cab

    Another vote for ACC, I’ve installed several over the years with nothing but positive reviews. Plus, they have several options and upgrades to choose from depending upon budget

    Door Seal to big

    ^^^ This I was going to suggest lubing the weatherstrip (especially at the hinge side) with something. I smeared a thin layer of Vaseline on the door where it makes contact with the seal to get my doors to shut at all.

    How can i separate my rotor from hub? Looks like its all one piece need help!

    The last few brake jobs I had done on late model stuff it seems like factory brakes last way longer than my older vehicles. Front brakes on my square used to last like 30K or so, my wife's 2017 suburban had 112K miles when I dd the brakes last month. The rotors were still flat and not warped...

    Stuck Hood

    When I started my restoration my hood hadn’t been opened since 2008. I was able to get it open a few inches and soaked the hinges in WD-40 and some ATF. After a few hours of gentle wiggling and a few more shots of oil it loosened up enough to start opening regularly.

    Fuel Pump Sending Unit Main Harness

    I’d gamble the Pink wire coming from the DS frame is the sending unit wire for the gas gauge, I believe it goes to the bulkhead

    Fuel Pump Sending Unit Main Harness

    Here’s a picture from when I took mine apart, I think it went over the PS frame and back through a grommet in the frame to the switch (not totally sure that was correct though)

    Fuel Pump Sending Unit Main Harness

    Pretty sure this is how mine was IIRC the grommet for that harness actually is a female-female 4 prong plug.
