    8 lug center caps

    I got my 4.10's in, and finished the air spring install this morning. Now to look at going to a worn set of white steel wheels, so i have a question: Are there any center caps that work for 4x4 8 lug steel wheels? I think hub caps would be too flashy for what i want, besides the fact that...

    Regearing Advice... What do I need?

    FYI: To minimize downtime and just get it DONE, I found a reputable shop and am paying to have it done. Can't wait to pull the boat back up to my favorite lake and see how she does. Considering that the drivetrain will be identical to the donor, my 2005 2500HD, and the K20 weighs almost a ton...

    Regearing Advice... What do I need?

    4L80E is already in, from my previous truck, a 2005 2500HD. No mods to the tunnel, it fit great.

    Regearing Advice... What do I need?

    I'm not sure of the year of either axle. Rear is 14FF, front is corporate 10.

    Regearing Advice... What do I need?

    If the shop says they're in good shape, do you want the 3.42 ring & pinion?

    Regearing Advice... What do I need?

    Tempting as that is, I'm not 100% confident in the rear axle overall. The PO had a tendency to haul HEAVY and I have a slight wheel vibration that I've isolated to the right rear, but can't see the cause. I've gone over all the usual suspects and am coming up blank. So I've decided to have a...

    Regearing Advice... What do I need?

    So... After pulling my 5000 lbs boat up to my favorite lake for the first time with Bubba, my newly LS swapped 1978 K20, I've decided those 3.42's have got to GO! Having no plans to lift the truck or go to anything more than *maybe* 33's (Currently 32's) I'm going to put 4.10's in it, like the...

    4Runner buckets, center jump seat & arm rest

    So I did a thing... Found a super cheap set of 4Runner seats (my personal favorite) and went to work. I built a platform to span the original bench seat brackets, cut the mounting brackets off the 4Runner sliders and mounted them up. For the center seat, I had most of a sheet of 3/4 furniture...

    Glove box lock

    Get a lock pick set. I picked one up and with a little practice was able to open a locking gas cap for a project I was working on. It also came in handy when I threw out some "extra" keys that weren't as "extra" as I had thought.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    That's a Dakota Digital RTX instrument cluster.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thanks! No, that's a temporary "4 Low" switch for use while I figure out how to put a contact switch on my cable shifter.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I have 500 miles on my swap, working the kinks out. Picked up a free canopy to refurbish, installed a few interior mods including the stereo, floor shifter, cupholders & ashtray switch panel. It's coming along nicely!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Looks good! I'm looking into buckets. Was tossing around ideas of either Suburbans or early 90's 4-Runner.

    Canopy

    Picked up this canopy for free this past weekend. Looks like I have paint & window seals in my future! It's a Guidon Hombre. I can't find any info on it online, so I guess it wasn't very popular?

    Wiring Harness Replacement and LQ4/4L80E/NP241C Swap Integration

    The truck is finally in service! Still working some kinks out. Today I finished the install of the Winters Sidewinder. It looks great next to the JB Fab cable transfer case shifter. It'll all look much better when I get to revamping the interior!

    LQ4 Swap, starter wire routing question

    This is exactly what I needed, thank you! Now I hope the harness has enough length to go that way, it looks a wee bit short....

    Wiring Harness Replacement and LQ4/4L80E/NP241C Swap Integration

    Update: Yeah, I'm not good at posting updates. Plan changes: Using the donor's power distribution center proved itself totally not worth the trouble, so that was abandoned. I did install a 6 relay/10 fuse distribution block on the driver's side wheel well. The donor's wiring was pretty crispy...

    LQ4 Swap, starter wire routing question

    Not sure whether this belongs here or in the "electrical" section... I'm finalizing the wire harness installation on the LQ4/4L80E swap into my 78 K10. Unfortunately, I don't recall how the keyed starter wire and crank position sensor wire are routed. They originate from the throttle body...

    AC temp control wire

    I have my control panel out for cleaning/repair and discovered this wire is broken off on mine. Looking at the factory wiring drawings, I can't find it anywhere. The cigarette lighter appears to be its own wire, straight from the fuse block, and should be orange and black, not orange. The AC is...

    Wiring Harness Replacement and LQ4/4L80E/NP241C Swap Integration

    I'm in the late stages of planning and beginning the electrical modifications for my swap. During its previous life, the wiring harness in my 1978 K10 was modified and cobbled together in such a manner it's pretty much unrecognizable in many places, so I'm replacing it with a Painless harness. I...
