Will this lift fit my k5/jimmy?
build your dream and who cares if you only street drive it. just look at slammed trucks that can't make it over a speedbump without re-arranging their sheet metal. i wouldn't exactly call that practical either. hate it when people say don't build this or build that, number 1, it's not their dime...- Rumbledawg

costs me around $900-$1300 per yr per vehicle depending on what coverage we buy. on my trucks i usually run basic and fire/theft and vandalism. getting caught with no insurance is like a $600 fine and your truck gets a free ride on the back of a wrecker...and if you happen to get in a MVA, no...- Rumbledawg

i don't mind them. i prefer the older trucks, '60- '85 but for a daily their great. like ya say, reliable and simple, decent fuel mileage and still fairly cheap for parts.- Rumbledawg

CUCV Brush Guard dimensions does anyone know them including the thickness of material?
they are very sturdy at a 1/4". start using 1/2" and your guard can end up weighing a couple hundred lbs. one issue with the stock cucv guards is along the front between the main uprights (first, second and third pic). they quite often bend there cause of the design. i needed room to put my 9"...- Rumbledawg

Tubular on the c1oh
tires are unsprung weight. even when i run my 42" swamps i never get that tippy feeling. even with bad springs a sway will help. i was actually a little leery taking off my swaybar, cause it saved my a$$ a few months earlier. i broke the front drivers leaf spring rear bolt out in the bush. the...- Rumbledawg

Tubular on the c1oh
swaybars will help with body roll more than coil-overs. and there cheap. you will most likely haft to make drop brackets for the swaybar so it will reach your a-arms. i used a piece of 3" square tubing to lower my bar on my 8" lifted crewcab. weird your getting such massive amounts of roll. i...- Rumbledawg
