Working on some little upgrades to the rear bumper. First, a quick look back to see what I'm dealing with. We did not cut the back of the frame rail shorter to tuck the bumper closer to the body. Without doing that the gap between the inside edge of the bumper and the rear of the body and...

Bwahaha. 10-4 so keep it on the down low. Mum's the word if she calls me. :cool:

So when is the order go in for the fresh equipment to go boom-boom with? I'm excited to help set it up. Should sound awesome in the cab.

I'm cautiously optimistic that I might eek out a little better fuel economy over the K10 since mine should be 1,500 pounds less than his and running 4.10's vs 4.56's. But then again I may be pissing in the wind over that thought. Going over a pass in a gear higher than 2nd like I do now...

Real simple. Get in, push the back side up, lock the panel in place. Move to the front and push up, lock in the front panel. Lowering requires a slight push up again to release the lift panel and then lower. It's a reason not to put a bunch of crap up there because you got to lift the...

He don't let any moss grow under his tires while on the highway. He sent me a pic from somewhere in Utah on last year's trip I missed of the speedometer pointing at 85mph. It's half the reason I'm putting an 8.1 in mine so I can keep up with him.

It's no small shelf. That's where I sleep! It's over 6' across and over 4' deep. I'm 6' tall and can't touch both sides at the same time laying down up there. Only downside is the roof don't lift up high enough to all me to sit upright. When I finally get around making a new side skirt I'll...

So far it did. Three desert trips under the belt of the new axle and no puking.

The pop-up is pretty simple. Basically there's a bi-fold panel on each end with 3 hinges. One hinge on the bottom, one on the top and one in the middle connecting the two panels together. Push the top up and the panels unfold flat and hold that each end up. FWC hasn't changed the design...

My home on wheels coming down a section of Flat Iron Mesa outside of Moab.

I appreciate the love for the K5. Next time you are headed this way let me know. If you need any info on where to go I can help.

Shoot you are right in my stomping grounds. Great pics.

Hey dude! It's been a while, glad to see the K5 made it through the job change and move. Been through that before and had to thin the heard because they would only pay to move so many. Keep at it on the refurbishing. It's worth it in the end that's for sure. It's always cool to see...

I'd get parts together and have them on hand before tackling an individual job. This way you can pull the part and get to work installing the new one. Doing it all the same day or weekend keeps the memory fresh on how stuff goes together too. Body panels are a little more complex but the...

I can't imagine what you've gone through. But I commend you for making the effort to carry on with the kids and get them out exploring. You got the right attitude for sure. Keep the truck as it looks very capable to get you and the kiddos out into the boonies. As far as the Blazer goes...

Thanks! I'm looking at this one: Anytone AT-778UV. I have not bought it yet so I wouldn't consider it a review.

I've picked up some parts for Nick up in Denver and talked to him a bit over the web. Cool dude. Let me know what you find out. ORD shows a small block version and a big block/LS/6.5diesel version. So if it was the ORD big block version it should work.

So looking at ORD's site I don't see the 67-72 crossmember as an option. They just list it for 73 and up trucks. Let me do some research and I'll get back with you.

Plans are now getting set for our annual desert trip in June. I was hoping to have an increase in displacement and conversion to manual trans but I'm still in the parts procurement phase and not ready to disable it prior to June. The swap will happen at Larry's Bigassgas Garage and the...

I think it was 04-06 they made the 1500 Avalanche available without cladding. They used a standard truck front clip and smooth doors/quarters. The 2500's never got that option though as they all had the cladding. Like the rest have said, because they are based on the Suburban they carry the...
