Yeah.... I have some pics I'll throw up here in a bit, its messy!

Welp, I got roped into helping a friend go through and fix some things on his GMT800 Yukon that gets used as a chase/support truck for large gravel cycling events. The truck ends up hauling a bunch of gear and people for these evens as well as getting driven really hard offroad (Read, crazydre...

I'm going to give the rotopax rollbar mount/thing a go here in a bit. it looks like a good solution and it'll keep it out of the way enough.

Hey Y'all, I'm about at my wits end with water storage in my jeep. I've just been doing plastic gallon bottles lately as I've had a few different large water containers break or otherwise fail on me on trips... So I was wondering what some other ideas or solutions might be for some of that...

I'm still chasing a sound like that in our truck... I'm going to start looking real close at the motor/trans mounts, some of the control arm frame supports and stuff like that.

I just finished with my partners truck... new stock-ish LCA's with ball joints, new upper ball joints, new coil springs, shocks, isolators, 2" lift spacers, sway bar links, tie rod ends. Our pickup has the rack and pinion steering so we had a little less steering stuff to do, but not much. We...

Out in the Mojave at Aiken mine a couple weeks ago.

Right on, that is some stuff I'll keep in mind... Sounds like I need to make a pick n pull trip sometime to see if I can scare up a torsion bar mount crossmember and a couple torsion bars and maybe see what other differences there are besides the obvious ones like LCAs, shocks, etc. So far this...

So, this is the partners truck we're working with. We just got done going through the cooling system (rad, WP, hoses, etc...), Shocks, some suspension bits and other small odds and ends on a 16yr old truck. Both sides of the truck are pretty dinged up from wear and use and school parking lot but...

I'm starting to lean towards coilovers/UCA's with spherical/uniball/whatevertheyare joints to allow more travel. After just doing the springs in our truck the limited range of motion of the UCA ball joints is apparent and is very much a limit to usable travel. I did some digging and it looks...

Yep! It is indeed a pic of a full lift kit install but the old torsion bar mount and all those bits are visible, and it serves as a good visual reference. I don't think i was as clear as i could have been with sone of my goals with this, I'm looking at what the feasibility of moving from 2wd...

I think in this case the frames are different. All of the 4x4 examples i've been finding have had [ shaped frame rails and our truck has those as well. I cropped this from some other site that was doing an install, but this is a nice clear photo... the areas in red are what look like the...

Ah, ok. I'll figure out how to deal with em when we tear into it this weekend. I ended up gettting the bigger radiator with both the trans and engine oil coolers (34" vs 28") by mistake but it looks like all the proper mounting holes/brackets are there in the frame for it, so we're going to...

Huh, maybe not then.... It did look an awful lot like yours... Although I suppose it could have been someone else with similar ideas about it. I wish I could have snagged a pic of it, oh well!

AHH, I saw the C OOLBUS in san jose today, awesome!

I have truetrack in my JKU and its fantastic. I've thought about one for the truck, it might be feasible to swap the thing when it comes time but its a bit of a challenge as I don't have a ton of space to do internal gear work. On the other hand, setting the backlash on something like that isn't...

Right on, sounds good. We have all of the service records for this thing so I'm gonna go dig through it to see if it was ever replaced, but I kind of doubt it. I'll add those to the list too. I'll see how the heater hose connectors look, the truck is overall in good shape under the hood and the...

The lift definitely affected driveshaft wear for the front shaft. I noted the play in the repezza joint when I was tearing stuff apart to replace the transmission as well as the boot being torn. At the time I did the lift, I added exhaust spacers to move the crossover back a couple inches to...

Hey, everyone! I'm sort of taking over a lot of maintenance and mod work for my partners '03 GMC Sierra 1500, 2WD (5.3, towing pkg, G80, all the fun stuff) as she's the opposite of mechanically inclined and tends to kill car/trucks. Sooo I've started just doing stuff to it these days. Her...

Getting ready to do some more stuff to the partners truck... I'm opting to swap out the other LCA and while I have that apart also replace the spindles with some RC or CSA lift spindles to bump the front up a little bit more. I'm still not sure what to do with the rear, but I'm thinking about...
