How to Remove Steering Knuckle
In the process of doing this now. It's not going well. (Not going anywhere!) Looks like I need a bigger hammer! Thanks for the post, it lets me know I'm on the right track at least.- shep151

8 lug center caps
I got my 4.10's in, and finished the air spring install this morning. Now to look at going to a worn set of white steel wheels, so i have a question: Are there any center caps that work for 4x4 8 lug steel wheels? I think hub caps would be too flashy for what i want, besides the fact that...- shep151

Regearing Advice... What do I need?
FYI: To minimize downtime and just get it DONE, I found a reputable shop and am paying to have it done. Can't wait to pull the boat back up to my favorite lake and see how she does. Considering that the drivetrain will be identical to the donor, my 2005 2500HD, and the K20 weighs almost a ton...- shep151

Regearing Advice... What do I need?
4L80E is already in, from my previous truck, a 2005 2500HD. No mods to the tunnel, it fit great.- shep151

If the shop says they're in good shape, do you want the 3.42 ring & pinion?- shep151

Regearing Advice... What do I need?
Tempting as that is, I'm not 100% confident in the rear axle overall. The PO had a tendency to haul HEAVY and I have a slight wheel vibration that I've isolated to the right rear, but can't see the cause. I've gone over all the usual suspects and am coming up blank. So I've decided to have a...- shep151

Regearing Advice... What do I need?
So... After pulling my 5000 lbs boat up to my favorite lake for the first time with Bubba, my newly LS swapped 1978 K20, I've decided those 3.42's have got to GO! Having no plans to lift the truck or go to anything more than *maybe* 33's (Currently 32's) I'm going to put 4.10's in it, like the...- shep151

4Runner buckets, center jump seat & arm rest
So I did a thing... Found a super cheap set of 4Runner seats (my personal favorite) and went to work. I built a platform to span the original bench seat brackets, cut the mounting brackets off the 4Runner sliders and mounted them up. For the center seat, I had most of a sheet of 3/4 furniture... -
Glove box lock
Get a lock pick set. I picked one up and with a little practice was able to open a locking gas cap for a project I was working on. It also came in handy when I threw out some "extra" keys that weren't as "extra" as I had thought. -

That's a Dakota Digital RTX instrument cluster. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Thanks! No, that's a temporary "4 Low" switch for use while I figure out how to put a contact switch on my cable shifter. -
What have you done to your square lately??
I have 500 miles on my swap, working the kinks out. Picked up a free canopy to refurbish, installed a few interior mods including the stereo, floor shifter, cupholders & ashtray switch panel. It's coming along nicely! -

Looks good! I'm looking into buckets. Was tossing around ideas of either Suburbans or early 90's 4-Runner.
