Paradox Muffler
I spent $220 having a flowmaster fx put on my dually. It droned awful at 2000-2200. I had to spend another $180 to have it taken off an a quieter one put on. I liked the overall sound but couldn't handle the drone, especially when towing.- bluex

Tailight fuel fill
LS Fab DR side tail light fuel filler. NIB, I originally bought it for a customer project an had to switch to a pass side as that fit his trucks layout better. I was keeping it for my truck but my rear suspension won't let me run a tank behind the axle. Well one big enough to warrant swapping... -

NV3500 swap
A T56 never came in an S10, the T5 did though an yes I would agree that it or the 3500 is probably not up to the towing you are looking to put them through. Id go NV4500 or its new replacement the TR4050 if it was mine. You could still use my write up to follow for the clutch an hydraulics as...- bluex

Power Tour 2026
Do it! I had always wanted to an had a buddy that had done several. We did get to go on what turned out to be his last one. Some of my best memories are from that trip an it was the most fun automotive related trip I have ever had. The complainers are all your ever going to hear from because... -
Early squares. Wanna go h4? Toyota has a killer deal
I had to close out the cart an reload it. It was something with the site I think, once I did that it took my address an let me finish the order. That or there was something I put in wrong on the card info that it didn't like. Starting over fixed it regardless :shrug: Got mine today! -
Early squares. Wanna go h4? Toyota has a killer deal
I think my shipping was 21 or 22. For $42 you can barely buy a decent relay harness with quality relays an wire thats actually the size its supposed to be. The housings an bulbs were a bonus imo, an now I find out they are actually glass too! What are you guys complaining about here! -
Early squares. Wanna go h4? Toyota has a killer deal
Last time these were going viral this cheap I missed out. I have some amazon leds but this is supposedly a pretty high quality kit. Went ahead an grabbed one, thanks for the heads up! -

New daily driver
Still waiting on machine shop. Put some lowering parts on today. Gonna do the rear tomorrow. Engine being out is the opportune time to do upper arms in this chassis for sure. That spring compressor is so much nicer than the old hook style. Made easy work of it an it was like $34.- bluex

Is there a reliable source for dually fenders?
NO!!!!! THEY SUCK BALLS! A customer ordered a set 3" wider for semi wheels an they were horrible. The fit to the bedside was super poor. They were bowed in so much they were only 5/8" wider at the wheel lip. Never responded to questions or offered any help with the issue. It took me 2.5 weeks...- bluex

What did I do wrong? NV4500 Swap Issues
With a 97 trans an internal slave you need to use the 97 pressure plate too. Looks like you did so I've got to go with something being installed wrong as well. This is the same basic setup in my C10, just with a NV3500. Flywheel to match my engine, clutch disc back matches the trans. The parts...- bluex

What have you done to your square lately??
I got it from advance, it was in a car quest box best I remember. Who knows where/who actually made it. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Me either but I had to put a regulator on the 68 C10 I had after a new pump an carb rebuild an it was still shooting gas out the vent an causing it to leak. It was a monojet carb on a 250 but still... -
New daily driver
Nah just forged pistons, mds delete/cam, headers. I can't go to crazy because then it'll spit out the trans or tcase next or maybe a diff :doh2: Bought everything but the pistons today an dropped the main parts off at the machine shop. Now the waiting begins.- bluex

New daily driver
Well, the other day I bought lowering springs and adjustable front upper and rear billet aluminum control arms for this thing. That should help me in my goal of getting it back on the road right? :rofl: That was actually my next planned mod before I broke it, found it all on MP for a crazy...- bluex
