Lookin good!

Front Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPohZtD8zlA Rear Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRnGAiGuvK4 It's really simple. Sometimes the sockets are different than in the video. Also sometimes the caliper slide pins are a torx bit. other than that no special sauce needed

I am 99% sure A1 auto has a youtube video online to replace suburban brakes (also look up silverado ,becuase it's the same. It is SUPER easy. If you can do pads, you can do rotors. Doing the pads is the hard part (compressing the pistons etc.) Basically the only extra step is the two bolts...

Found the rear arms: Don't know if R&D time is worth it for your buddy, they seem to be rightly priced considering...

WOW, If he can make more of those trackbars, let me know, I would buy one tomorrow, as I have felt that about it as well. I believe a company makes tube style trailing arms, don't remember who they were, but they are around $250. I would also be interested if he fabs any. Also very interested...

I am running a 14bolt. You can find the coil sprung 6 lug 14 bolts that will bolt in place of the 10 bolt for between 800-1500 depending on your luck. I paid 1100 (seems there is a CA tax) for mine, and sold my 10 bolt for 200 bucks. Not bad and it has the G80 locker, which on the 14 bolt isn't...

Agreed^ Every time this has happened to me, on a racecar or truck (whether or not the disc was actually warped, or if there was uneven wear or deposits,) replacing the rotor has usually fixed it. Moreso, it's the cheapest and easiest first option, so i would go with that first. it's entirely...

Now I'm thinking of 35's as well too haha. Looks great! love that front bumper.

I've experimented with it disconnected, and honestly couldn't tell any difference on the road. Off road, there was MAYBE some more articulation? I reconnected it, simply because I was too scared to tow without it... Haven't touched it since.... Also if you haven't bought the diff cover I have...

Sorry, meant, IF there are any problems. Good to hear your experience (and hopefully Jelorians) will bring positive other benefits. I don't know "ram air" will make much of a difference in a snorkel for power or mpg (You have to be going at much higher speeds than these trucks are capable of...

Yep, been debating that, however with towing, don't really want to mess with that and effect the weight capacity of the tire.

Been waiting on you to post this for awhile:) Saved for my use next year. Hopefully we will have a writeup on the hopefully nonexistent performance differences! Great job!

I have the last wildpeaks on mine... I really, really like them, considering they were like 160 or something each, and then the 4th one was free. However, now that they have 20k miles on them, I just noticed that the tread blocks have different depths around the tire, and so when they wear, I...

You're right they do seem to be out of business. It's been a a few years. Shame, they do work! Hope something turns out!

Good looking truck! I really like that liner you put on the flooring, very sharp. Buddy has these guy's torsion re locators. I think they have free shipping on their ebay store and they're pretty cheap (<$100). http://realiftsusp.com/

Thanks Chilli! I was originally worried about it.. Actually I had a half an inch between the bumper and the hitch, but with the weight, it started to sag on the mounts, so i welded a piece of 4x6x1/2 bar to the bottom on the bumper, and that threads into the hitch so the weight also is...

Good looking bumper as well!:) I see you went all fancy with the corners. I ran out of time, maybe some day... Save a few pounds!

for $1200 you can get a bolt in 14bolt rear end for that!!! Don't spend that on a simple rebuild (That also sounds incredibly high! Should be 500-800 in my opinion, including parts. If you don't want to spend that much money, like other said rebuild it yourself! The rear ends are really easy...

In Northern California it's not so bad, until you try to sleep in the vehicle during the day:) I'm with you. Seems my new favorite vehicle colors are white. Shows a little dirt but less scratches and less heat. I just washed the truck, hit it with acetone, sanded, washed and then hit it with...

Thanks Bollrig! I am definitely happy with it. The temp difference is ridiculous. I haven't measured but I would guess it stays at least 15 degrees cooler in the truck in direct sunlight. I had some Velcro that I had been meaning to replace on the dash because the glue would let go in the heat...
