Finally did my heater core and evaporater yesterday. That have only needed it for over a year... Not as bad a job as I thought it wild be. Started around 9 and was done by 5. We took our time and that included a trip for freon and another for lunch.
It's nice to not smell antifreeze all the time now

 

I need to do this also, but I am thinking about just bypassing the heater core because I am too lazy to pull the dash out.
I also need to install my Stealth Cover, and TS trans controller.

Then new tires, alignment and all my Recon lighting and it will be drivable again.

I know, I have let her go.. She looks sad..

 

If you need a hand let me know. It really was not that bad!

 

A "lil"something I'm doing. More pics to come. HEHE.

I've always wanted a plywood back in my truck, you can screw anything you need to it, like a shelf for 6 of your closest friends, your shotgun.....

Try this again... (post did not make it for whatever reason yesterday)

I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!!

I have a leveling kit installed and found out that the 35s do not fit with a leveling kit. I have Nitto Trail Grapplers 35x12.5 installed with major rub issue outside edge of tire to the fender near the doors. Short of cutting the fender out ( LOL ) is there any tricks that I may have missed to get this clearance.

Guy at work said crank the bars up, but correct me if I am wrong, this does not apply to straight axle truck.

I am thinking 4-5 inch lift will resolve this issue. I am not to sure on which one to go with so any recommendations would be helpful.

Enjoy the rest of the holidays!! I am... Old Veteran spending time with current soldier and family (my son and his family up for a visit).

Peace!!

 

2 or 3" leveling kit? What wheels are you running? and no, no torsion bars for us with big boy trucks...

2" leveling kit

Product Name: Moto Metal 957
Size: 17x9
Bolt Pattern: 8/6.5
Backspace: 4.5”
Offset: -12m
Product ID: MO95779080712
Finish: Black Painted Wheels

I really thought this would work.

 

Those numbers seem fine to me! Without lengthing the control arms you will run into more rub. Take a pic of how close it is. I can turn on onto a guy who can build you a set of custom arms.

Shiney....Not my taste, but looks like you did a fine job!

boots: nice work.

I will post a picture of the wheel rub later this morning. I tried get one on my phone, but it didn't show up to well.

peace!!
