    Hold back the tears...it's gonna make you cry.

    The "missing" ubolt is what I look for. That way I can see what axle they have from 20' away in front of the rig.

    Just a little tip for you

    I was taught something very similar by my instructor. He was ex-military also. I've been able to remember them since 1996: Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly Get Some Now These last ones are for the resistor tolerance. (Gold/Silver/None)

    Warn hydraulic winch?

    This was from 7 months ago. Oops. Everything was fine until I had to turn around. The one part of this long bed truck I hate is turning around if there isn't a big enough area. I just like to be prepared. My fuel injection is also very sensitive to voltage. Just hooking up my air compressor to...

    Beadlock and tires and back spacing.. oh my.

    Thanks for the info. The wheel owner manual said something about if using threaded valve stems use sealant. What threaded valve stems? Are all metal ones threaded? Or is that just for TPMS sensors?

    Limited slip in the front?

    That was why I only said 45-55. All the rest of the idiots are still doing 70. :D Any slower and I'd get run over. Driven for over 30 years in the snow. The only slide off I had was my first winter. No damage, but by dad's blazer was stuck bad. :rolleyes:

    Extended Brake lines

    Some people zip tie them back or use a spring to hold them back if they are in danger of rubbing anything. But sure- go for it.

    Limited slip in the front?

    I have the Eaton truetrac in the front and a detroit locker in the rear. When in 4wd it is awesome in the snow. I can still turn sharp without the front end pushing like if it was fully locked. When the highway is fully snow covered I've driven in 4wd at 45-55 mph for 2 hours or so. Everything...

    Beadlock and tires and back spacing.. oh my.

    So I'm finally home after spending months working out of state. And many boxes of goodies were waiting for me in the garage. All the parts to finish crossover steering, some off road lights, new rear disc brake rotors, longer wheel studs for the new beadlock wheels, airsoft BBs to use for...

    Warn hydraulic winch?

    I've been out wheeling for almost 30 years and have only needed a winch twice (really really stuck those times). That being said I keep modifying the truck to be better. This means I'll possibly get stuck in worse more remote areas. I'd also want to run synthetic rope and I keep seeing how heat...

    Warn hydraulic winch?

    First of all- I gotta say I've never owned a winch of any kind. However in the off road club the other members almost all have winches. But all are the electric kind. And I've seen a lot of problems with them. Overheating, melting, whatnot. I am thinking about buying ORDs front bumper. It has...

    UPDATE: Airsoft bb's as balance beads

    Following- I bought Airsoft BBs based on a recommendation from Colonel Mustard. I just have them sitting in the garage. Haven't bought tires yet for my new beadlocks.

    How Fast Can A Squarebody Go?

    I had doubts on the accuracy of my speedometer but when I passed the wife in her Passat. She backed off at 100. I kept going. (backstory- quite often I would meet her for dinner in town and instead of driving home nicely following each other she takes off like a bat outta hell. Didn't feel like...

    Depends on what you hit. Could be a sweet jump!

    How Fast Can A Squarebody Go?

    It was a B5 S4. My boss's boss had a 1993 S4 before I got mine. The company gave it to him to entice him into working there. About 5 years later I had a 1993 90CSQ sport. I liked my 90 but it wasn't fast. The electric locker was neat for winter time living on a ski resort. The urS4 had a lot of...

    How Fast Can A Squarebody Go?

    I've seen how fast all my vehicles can go- except for my Audi S4. It was a stage 2 with a 6 speed manual. I once got it up to 140 at night on the interstate in Montana. The concrete sections they pour are NOT smooth at that speed. Then I saw a brief flash on eyes on the side of the road. Slowed...

    How Fast Can A Squarebody Go?

    In high school I got my '78 K5 and even my current '77 over 100 (around 110 for both). The K5 was stock with a 400. By current truck has 35" tires and a 383. One of the more interesting things I noticed was both of the hoods have kinks in them from the hood being bent a bit. There is a low...

    383 Stroker or 6.0 LS??

    I don't have much info on a "real" 383. I've had three 400s though (same crank as a 383) and my dad had a 400. Most mileage of any of those was 140,000. It smoked and leaked pretty good at that point. All of these had the older stock small block heads. At around 120,000 miles I got a set of...

    383 Stroker or 6.0 LS??

    Typically the 383 will produce a lot more low end torque than the 6.0 and low end torque is great for towing. Guys at work that have the 6.0 in their Silverados say when they are towing they have to stuff their foot into it and get the revs way up. But as far as long term reliability- I've...

    Beadlock and tires and back spacing.. oh my.

    So a small update- but I feel like a kid before Christmas and wanted to share. I've been working out of state and finally decided to start ordering stuff for when I get home. I bought the KMC Grenade Crawl wheels (shown 2 posts up). There were cheaper than the Machete Crawl wheels. They are...

    Bench Seat Covers

    I got my Coverking seat cover from Costco- it was on a good sale. Looks like the regular price is $264 I got the neopreme ones. From their website: "These covers are extremely water resistant and very durable. Each cover also has a soft and cushioned feel while displaying a sporty design...

    Front Shackle hanger bolt

    I had always heard that even K10s and K20s got the longer length shackles from the factory in 1987.

    Advice on Muffler Replacement

    I ran those on my 400. Sounded awesome. They are kinda a flowmaster copy- but a lot cheaper in cost. However when I swapped out the 400 to the 383 they had such an annoying drone/resonance around 2,300 RPM that I got rid of them. Swapped to a Magnaflow muffler. They are more quiet than I thought...

    Brake lights out

    Do you have a trailer plug on your truck? Depending on how that was hacked/spliced in could be an issue too.
