    Wagon wheels? Can’t decide.

    I used to have a set of rally’s, ended up selling them to my cousin. Just didn’t quite work with my zero option truck lol.

    Wagon wheels? Can’t decide.

    I picked up a set of wagon wheels yesterday for $40. I can’t decide if I like them though. What say y’all? My other setup is the factory wheels with hubcaps.

    I was thinking $5 each plus shipping. Since the tape players are iffy.

    2 post radio

    I’ve got two that I know the radio part works on. The tape player part is questionable. May just need to be cleaned, may be something mechanical. The audio vox is aftermarket, and the clarion is a stock radio from an 84 GMC.

    Tow Hooks/Jack Point

    Correct, 81 and up used a different style. On a side note, any self respecting 4x4 should have tow hooks.

    Warn hydraulic winch?

    Majority of winches sold are electric, and have been for ~60 years at least. For most folks an electric winch and one good battery/alternator are all they will ever need. I also agree with stepping back and really evaluating what your needs are. I have a winch, but it’s no longer in the truck...

    Headache rack ideas

    I like those, except for one detail. And this is probably me being way too picky, but I don’t like the little towers that stick up over the cab. I know they’re there to keep ladders or pipe from sliding off the side, but I won’t be hauling anything like that so I’d prefer it to be flush with the...

    Curt Trailer Wiring Harness

    I’d be interested, going to have to check and see what kind of connection mine has though.

    Headache rack ideas

    So, I’m thinking about buying or building a headache rack for my truck. I’ve looked at the back rack brand and I like them, but I want to see some others as well. So if you have one, homemade or store bought, let me see them. I’ll probably use it to mount some lights and maybe a cb antenna as well.

    Factory radio refurbisher

    Pretty sure it’s an Audiovox, I’ll have to get it out and double check.

    Tie Rod End Size

    Not doubting you at all, but my 1/2 ton had the 1” setup from the factory.

    Tie Rod End Size

    They are not interchangeable. I needed 1”x18, and I ordered from rock auto. You need to check yours beforehand to verify what you need. Otherwise you do like I did the first time and get the wrong size. Mine was for a 1/2 ton 4x4, 2wd may be different. Rock auto lists the thread size, just be...

    Low hanging fruit to improve performance - request for input

    There are, or were, local car shows every first and third Saturday of the month during the spring/summer. Of course COVID has killed it this year. But check in Valdese and Hildebran areas.

    What’s my winch really worth?

    Just trying to put some numbers together. I’m really wanting an AR, so I’m wondering how much I can get out of my winch. Warn model 8274-50. Comes with everything pictured and has always been covered. Let me know what you think it’s worth.

    Best all terrain tire for your square

    I’ve used kumho, general, BFG, mastercraft, and Firestone. The kumho and general at tires only gave me about 30k miles. The mastercraft tires were the at2, which gave me about 50k. The BFG gave me between 65-70k miles. That’s not a typo. Nearly 70k miles on my 2006 z71. They had about 5k left on...

    3 alternators in less than 6 months

    Yes, replaced my four year old unit on a Wednesday. Drove to my parents house that Friday, it started over charging. Took it back, got another one, had them test it, another one over charging. Left advance, went to oreilly, turned the new over charging one in and got another one, had it tested...

    Selling a work truck, van, 2 motorcycles.

    Just out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in the bed off of this thing? Looks like it’s 4 bolts and the rear bumper frame is welded to the truck. Just need some way to lift this thing.

    Selling a work truck, van, 2 motorcycles.

    Just an update, the van and Honda motorcycle are sold. The work truck is now at my house, cleaned up. Going to try to either talk my father in law into selling just the bed and making it a regular pickup, OR, pull the rear axle and TBI setup for my K10. I got curious and, lo and behold, it has...

    How hot should my front hubs get

    I should note that I can jack each side up, spin the wheel, and the only drag seems to come from the brakes. With the caliper removed, the wheels spin pretty freely

    How hot should my front hubs get

    So after doing ball joints and tie rod ends, and putting everything back together, I quickly found out that the front spindle nuts were too tight after a short drive. The front hubs were too hot to touch. Like, so hot you wouldn’t be able to put your hand on the hub to engage 4x4. I took them...
