    LMC Factory Tach

    So that gauge wont work with my cluster?? Is it due to fitment?...because, as I understand it, all it needs is to hook up to the distributor, right (and the existing fuel gauge wiring)?

    LMC Factory Tach

    Little bit of a thread resurrection here...Daveo, did you ever try to install this guage in your burb? I have a 90 burb and am thinking about doing the same thing. Was wondering if you did it, and if you had any problems with it.

    Exterior Lighting Upgrades - Looking for Input

    I started shopping around for truck lights after digging through all the information you guys have posted. I put together a shopping cart at LMCTruck.com, and by the time I was done picking out parts, I was up to $700 before taxes and shipping. I was ready to pull the trigger, but I had to...

    Exterior Lighting Upgrades - Looking for Input

    I rewired the trailer this weekend because it was in desperate need of a good wiring job. Only one of the brake lights was working, and nothing else. Turns out the wires in the plug connector were shot. So I ran all new wiring (including a new plug connector) from the plug connector to the...

    Exterior Lighting Upgrades - Looking for Input

    Thanks for the photos 77K20. Those hellas look pretty bright. And thanks for the info on the LED tail lights. That is something I will have to consider. This is kind of a side note, but may end up being relevant later down the road. I am going to be rewiring my trailer as well, and I...

    Exterior Lighting Upgrades - Looking for Input

    Thanks for the links. I have never heard it called that before. I already have new and upgraded battery cables and ground straps installed on the truck. I did this when I rebuilt the top end. I'm running a dual battery set-up and upgraded alternator. I have a Warn 9.5ti and a York on-board...

    Exterior Lighting Upgrades - Looking for Input

    I have not heard of the BIG 3 or 4 upgrade. I am fairly uneducated on the body and electrical components of this truck. Short of rebuilding the top end of the motor when I bought it, I haven't spent much time tinkering with it. I only use it to pull my toyota to and from the trails. That...

    Exterior Lighting Upgrades - Looking for Input

    Is this the upgraded headlight wiring harness you all are talking about when you say "upgrade your wiring"? http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/csb/full.aspx?Page=79

    Exterior Lighting Upgrades - Looking for Input

    This looks like some really good information here! This is why I like this forum...ask a reasonable question, and somebody is willing to point you in the right direction. Thanks for the help guys! I appreciate all commentary (including differing points of view). I will dig through this stuff...

    Exterior Lighting Upgrades - Looking for Input

    Can you give me some more detail on the headlight relay mod? Part number for relay? Where it goes? Etc. Also, is there an upgraded headlight wiring harness kit out there, or is it a matter of buying heavier gauge wire and re-wiring it? For your LED upgrades, did you have to install any...

    Exterior Lighting Upgrades - Looking for Input

    1st of all, Im not trying to be an ass. I am looking for something that is going to provide me with the best visibility in good or bad driving conditions. I know HIDs are bright, which is kind of the point. I don't drive this truck everyday, so when I get in it and go, it needs to do what I...

    Exterior Lighting Upgrades - Looking for Input

    I am starting to put some thought into upgrading the exterior lights on my burb, now that it seems to be mechanically sound and running well (for the time being). The old, fatigued, and faded lenses just aren't cutting the cake anymore. I am considering going with a set of HIDs for the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I'm not much for taking photos, and this is not really a great pic, but here is one of the toyota on "Poser Rock" as it is affectionately called by the locals. Just figured I'd share for all you off-road folks out there...Enjoy.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Haven't done anything "to" the Burb recently, but I did use it last weekend to tow the Toyota to the mountains to do some rock crawling, some camping, and some serious hanging out. This was the first time I have towed with the Burb, and it pulled like a dream.

    Need speedo help after trans swap

    The kit I pasted the link to uses the tail housing, reluctor ring, and VSS from a NP241.

    Need speedo help after trans swap

    Thanks for the reply. You are right, I probably don't NEED a 205, but when it comes to towing 10k+ lbs, having that piece of mind and reliability goes a long way. To me, buying a new (or junkyard) tcase just to hook up a speed sensor doesn't seem like a cost effective route. Especially if...

    Need speedo help after trans swap

    Correct, truck has an electronic speedo and original transmission had an electronic VSS. The swapped in NP205 has a gear driven speedo cable. I have heard (could be complete BS) that the computer uses readings from the VSS to adjust fuel and air mixtures, and that these trucks run more...

    Low Down Grunt

    I was kinda joking with you. I am definitely not in the "know" on this small tire offroading. I would love to be enlightened though. There is a distinct advantage to having large tires where I wheel my trucks. Ground clearance below the axles is paramount when it comes to rock crawling and...

    What kind of offroading are you doing on 16" tires?:hmm:

    Bucket Seat Swap

    Yeah, I hear ya on the center console. I will likely have to mod a console anyway to fit lengthwise because it will probably be in the way of the t-case shifter. As far as the flimsyness of the seats goes, I don't know that I really have another option without spending a boatload of money on...

    Bucket Seat Swap

    That's cool. No worries...I figured they were either sitting in the garage for when you get tired of the bench seat, or they were already spoken for. I actually like my bench seat, but I am going to be installing a Ranger overdrive gear box in front of my SM465 and the shifter for my NP205 is...

    Bucket Seat Swap

    That doesn't sound too bad. Still have those buckets, and feel like parting with them?! :)

    Bucket Seat Swap

    I have a bench seat in my 1990 Suburban and I am wanting to swap it out for some buckets. Does anyone know if the bucket seats that came in some of the square body burbs will bolt right up in mine?

    Need speedo help after trans swap

    This forum has been very helpful to me so far. I am hoping you guys can point me in the right direction again. 1990 R2500 Suburban with 454 tbi. The previous owner swapped in a SM465 in place of the original automatic transmission. Not sure what the original was, maybe a 700R4? He also...

    454 TBI - A couple questions

    Thanks! It is a pretty cool truck. I bought it from a fellow offroad enthusiast to be a dedicated tow rig, but now that I've got it running again, I have been driving it all over town. Here's a picture from the night I bought it and drove it home. Since posting the previous message, I...
