    ford ranger supercab question

    Depends on your use. If you never have the doors you probably won't be bothered by it. Once you have them you'll realize how helpful they are haha. Having owned extended cab trucks with and without rear doors, I'll never own another one without them. Leaning over the center console or...

    Dodge 1500 crew cab rear seat space/comfort?

    Haven't ridden in a Dodge, but I'm 6'4" and took a 4 hour road trip in the back of a buddy's 2014 F-150. I was perfectly comfortable back there and I believe the new ones have even more space. Honestly it was more comfortable than riding shotgun in a midsize vehicle. Sent from my Pixel using...

    2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Build Thread

    Sweet WJ! Those Rubicon wheels look really nice on there. I tried to get my wife to put a set of those on her WK2 and she shot me down because they were "boyish" haha. Have you tried that spare in the stock location? I was able to run a 265/70/16 spare in the stock location and the lid almost...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    It's frustrating to see all these image hosting problems. Years ago when I had my first Tacoma, I was a CustomTacos member. I remember one of the moderators spending a lot of time grabbing people's Photobucket images and re-attaching them to the post through the forum for archiving purposes...

    Test fit the canoe for the first time. I could definitely use a better roof rack! Also need to add some tie downs between the hood and fender so I can use those instead of the bumper D-rings. Disclaimer: I wasn't finished with the straps or final positioning. I would never leave slack hanging...

    Advice on what truck to purchase? Crew cab vs suburban for family of 4+dog adventures

    Suburbans are actually shorter than crew cab pickups even though they don't look it because the wheelbase is so long. If you're looking to get lots of "stuff" down a road of any kind, it's hard to beat the cargo capacity of a Suburban. If you squeeze 2 kids + a dog in a crew cab you're...

    Keep the Xterra or get a capped longbed pickup?

    I take it this is not your daily driver? Adjusting from an SUV to a regular cab would be a tough transition for people that haul kids, clients, or other seatbelt needy occupants... Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    I doubt door panels, and their pockets, are designed by engineers at all. Besides, I can't think of any vehicle that has a lid over the door pocket to keep rain out. Seems like it would be incredibly inconvenient to use while sitting in the vehicle.

    GMC rear seat question

    The GMT900 extended cab benches are a 60/40 split. You could grab just one side of it and it would be sized most appropriately for your truck. You'd probably have to fab some brackets.

    2006 Mazda B2300 Build Thread

    I feel like 1/2 of the bed space in a small truck like yours would be uncomfortably close sleeping quarters. You may want to test drive that theory prior to buying materials.

    2014 Silverado

    Yessir - for $1800 you could get a really nice set of sliders fabricates and still have gas money left over

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Speaking of parts, I have a set of AC Delco knock sensors & wire harnesses as well as a Federal Mogul intake manifold gasket set that I purchased from GM Parts Direct & Rock Auto about a year ago. I opened the boxes to check the order but they are otherwise unused. Since I no longer need them...

    2014 Silverado

    Nice truck! If you are wanting to change the steps out I would consider getting some that offer a little rocker protection since these trucks have a fairly long wheelbase. They make steps that fold down when the door is opened, but I prefer simpler solutions personally.

    Yukon 4wd question?

    I didn't catch this the first time I read through, but StabiliTrak on the GMT900 platform is the traction & stability control aid. It is totally separate from the 4x4 system and simply activates braking to limit wheel spin. It is very common on LT/LTZ trim Silverado/Sierras. Interesting that GM...

    Yukon 4wd question?

    Interesting...I've never stumbled across a Stabilitrak equipped rig that I recall. Sounds like it shares the same level of success as Quadra-steer, haha

    Running a Stock Rig ???

    You can get plenty of places with a 4wd half ton, especially with a properly utilized G80 in the rear (that's the factory locker in the rear of your truck - I'm assuming you have it since you have a Z71 trim). It gets a bad rap on the interwebz, but I've not yet destroyed one since I realize...

    Suburban tire dilemma...

    I cleared 285/75/16s on my 03 Silverado without maxing out the stock torsion keys. I left ~3/4" of rake in the stance so it wouldn't sit nose-high with a trailer hooked up. Not to complicate your dilemma, but I know the 05-07 Silverado got larger front brake rotors and calipers that could be...

    Good transmission shop in Denver area?

    Blowing up a factory 4L60E is a blessing and a curse. Obviously it's pricey, but with a few upgraded parts they can really be reliable.

    2004 Chevy Tahoe Z71 Front/Rear Bumper option

    Agreed...but that doesn't change the fact that the selection sucks :)
