    Front differential vent hose

    You want it up high enough to not allow water to enter when you are doing deep puddle/river/pond crossings. Some relocate them even higher.

    Off-road bumper ??

    Well- I got my ORD bumper and now it doesn't bolt on. The bumper itself has 4 holes drilled into it per side: However the frame only has 3 holes. And out of all those holes in the frame and the bumper only ONE will line up. And that is the larger slotted hole in the frame for the tow hook...

    Long bed camper shell

    I had a topper just like that on my old truck 20 years ago.

    1977 K5 3000$ OBO!!

    For some reason those seemed to be popular once upon a time. My truck had one when I bought it. I got rid of it.

    How much whp am I gonna have in my lifted truck

    I'm not a fan of horsepower ratings on trucks or towing vehicles. Did he say how much torque? Any low end torque? Unless you are planning on running it at a higher RPM where all your horsepower is, who cares? I'm running 37s with 4.10s. The truck used to feel really quick with my 383 (444...

    Think I need new springs? shocks? ROUGH RIDE

    You should look into getting new bumpstops for the front suspension. That factory one isn't very flexible anymore. They make some nice squishy aftermarket ones to replace it. And if you put a lift on it you should extend the bump stop down a bit, or buy a longer bumpstop. Don't want your springs...

    Question, are all full size square body Blazers referred to as K5 ?

    It matched the dash- looked like this. (not my Jimmy)

    Question, are all full size square body Blazers referred to as K5 ?

    I had a 1986 GMC Jimmy. The only badging on the outside was GMC, Jimmy and then near the taillights it said Sierra Classic. The older ones just said GMC Jimmy also. No K emblem.

    Ultimate Adventure 2020

    I have been part of quite a few different automotive groups thru the years. I've always had some sort of square. 2 blazers, a K10 and a K20. Have always went off in search of trails to see what they can do. I bought a ZR2 in 2001 to replace my K10. Had some advantages, but just missed the old...

    wheelin' it

    In a nutshell someone explained to me once that a crossover steering bar is roughly 3 times longer than that short stock draglink for steering. The longer something is the less it will be affected by angles. And you will get some angles with ORD suspension that has up to 14" of travel. Maybe...

    wheelin' it

    From the steering box it "crosses over" to the passenger side to steer the truck. It allows the steering to still function when the front axle gets articulated. With the stock steering if your driver side tire gets stuffed (goes up) or droops in a hole (goes down) the short stock drag link...

    wheelin' it

    Non hydroboost. I do have a somewhat new stock power steering pump and a new 2wd steering box. Truck steers well unless I have a front tire wedged in the rocks. I will get a PSC power steering pump this summer (mainly to run a hydraulic winch). I'll probably go ram assist in a year or two, but...

    Snow wheeling. Now I want to re-configure...

    I had a few moments of panic going down that trail also. I did that section alone as the Jeep guys went down another narrow route that had non-stop "tank trap" type obstacles. The type that would make me probably get high centered repeatedly. Thought they would pop back out in a few hundred...

    wheelin' it

    Small steering wheel. If you are truly doing something where you need to get the front tires to turn you don't rely on arm strength to force the steering wheel around. You end up getting a higher volume/pressure PSC steering pump and/or get hydraulic ram assisted steering or go full hydraulic...

    Question, are all full size square body Blazers referred to as K5 ?

    Huh. Good question. I think they still have the K5 emblem on them. Don't think they followed the truck "rules". Never heard of a C5 Blazer... Then again never had a reason to buy or really follow 2wd stuff because of where I live. If the front end has been completely stripped of suspension...

    Question, are all full size square body Blazers referred to as K5 ?

    Yes, full size can be called a K5. There was also the small version, the S-10. Then there is a GMT400 full size Blazer that I think was discontinued in 1994. Then of course there is the all brand new abomination to the Blazer name... :( There was also the GMC Jimmy which could be a full size...

    Bed liner on cab floorboard?

    I guess people just throw down bedliner and then leave it as it? I figured people (like what I did) was put a few coats down on the floor then cover it with at least some heat shield/insulation on the transmission hump at least then put in some vinyl flooring. That way your floor is better...

    1976 K20 NP203 HELP! So confused!

    Glad it is fixed- My first vehicle was a '78 K5 Blazer that made that same grinding noise when it was in gear on the test drive. The lady selling it freaked out as it was her ex-husbands rig and she got it in the divorce. While she went to call him my dad figured it out but didn't say...

    It’s official, I’m a nerd

    So did you have to install some home charger unit in your garage? If so what was the cost on that?
