    Centre of Gravity / Mass

    Thank you guys for your replies... I should probably add more context to this. The vehicle is stock currently, if we do a lift above 2" or any body lift we must get a certification for it to be road legal and to get insurance (insurance is optional here). To be within the certification...

    Gas Pedal Locking up?

    Thanks guys, I will check this next time I work on it. If I give it gas using the throttle on carby there is no binding, just smooth and normal. Pedal is free and lubed up. Might just order a 2 x new cables just in case anyway.

    Gas Pedal Locking up?

    Hi All, hoping someone can shed some light on this... basically when I go to take off the gas pedal is super stiff like it is locked up, takes a decent amount of force to get moving and when it does it's like i'm trying to drive like a jackass. Same thing when you are driving along and take...

    6-7" Lift & 37s - Show me your pics!

    Thanks, I did get the complete kit from Skyjacker, which comes with the steering arm. Didn't know if I would need a driveshaft spacer or not as it probably won't do all that much offroad. Nice rig!

    6-7" Lift & 37s - Show me your pics!

    I know... I know... there is a sticky thread, but doesn't seem to be many of what I want to see. I would love to see pics of your rigs with 6-7" lift, 37" Tires. We won't see our truck for about a month so wanting to see pics to keep excited, managed to score a 6" Skyjacker lift kit, 1" ORD...

    Front end swap - 81 GMC

    Cool, thanks for confirming. I may have stuffed up as I ordered a "Dress up kit" for the 81 but later realized that it may not work if I swap the front but at least I can sell it... have never seen an 81-82 here except for my last GMC. I don't mind spending the money in the long run, to be...

    Front end swap - 81 GMC

    So my first dumb question... I am not a fan of the 81-82 front end, we bought it because it was super clean and I know you can swap the front end. To swap to the dual headlight, is it as simple as just swapping the radiator support panel out? To swap to the 73-79, you need the entire front...

    Do you let Kiwi's in?

    All our offroad content doesn't have anything to do with square bodies though, we more film the hardcore wheeling stuff. Thanks, I am hoping it is as good as my buddy says it is... guess we will find out in 4 weeks when it arrives. I'll try to keep active but we don't get a whole lot of...

    We have LPG down here, pretty similar really. Not very popular anymore, haven't seen it around in a while. Wish it was cos our gas price is over $6/ Gal

    Do you let Kiwi's in?

    Thanks, yeah my buddy went to look at it for me and says it's mint. Desert truck it's whole life. Took me 3 weeks solid to find it, as we have stupid rules down here. The GVWR must be under 7700lbs to keep it left hand drive, most I found came out at 7800lb or 8600lbs so that ruled them out (I...

    Do you let Kiwi's in?

    Hey Everyone, New here, just got ourselves another GMC to build up (still in the US, starting the journey down next week). We were looking for a 73-79 but just couldn't find the right one, ended up with a rust free 81 GMC K2500. Looking forward to learning all the little tips and tricks on...
