Great build, i was following it for awhile then i got involved in my own build lol, then i come back to see your sas swap! I was thinking of doing the 80 swap in my H3t but was getting concerned about the abs tone ring. How are you going to tackle that?
Oh Am4x4 is a good friend of mine ( was my bestman) and and i have the prototype steering clamp for my hummer. Thanks for hooking up the 355 nation with him!

Thanks , right now I'm not going to do anything with the abs but when I find more time and can talk more with a tuner about getting the programming to match up so the Toyota sensors work with the chevy computer but if I can't I'm just going to remove the fuses for abs and open up the cluster and remove the LEDs for the dummy lights . I'm not a big fan of abs anyway and my trucks not a daily driver anymore
Cool , I take it your the one who tested it in Moab ? He seams like a great guy and I was happy to help get a good product to the Colorado guys sense there is not much aftermarket support for them

Nope i was the other one lol. I dont have a rancho lift had to make sure it would work with the diff in the way. The hummers go crazy with traction and abs disabled. I think the abs 80's have like a 47 tooth ring versus our 55 tooth. Truck looks great!

Oh ok yeah I remember him saying it went on a stock front end also . Haha that sucks the colorados just get lights on the ads but it does not cause any issues with the truck , I guess it's because you guys have a full time t-case and ours is not . Thanks for the info on the tone rings I have not pulled the axle apart yet to count mine
You got a build thread on your T ? Sweet trailer also , good work ! I need to get working on my trailer soon

Been working on the wheels a bit
Air soft beads to balance the tires starting with 7oz
Wheel and tire just rolled up agents the truck , the front truck tire is in a low spot and the 37 is on a sigh spot so it looks like a tight fit but really the truck will be about 3" or 4" higher on the tire
Ill be mounting the rest of the tires tomorrow

Those airsoft beads might be cheap but you should look into a set of these: http://centramatic.com/Home.aspx They won't polish the insides of your wheels.
