How do I bypass the factory radio completely so I can just listen through Bluetooth?
I have a small Bluetooth reciever/amp I mounted under the seat an wired right to the speakers. It has am/fm and auxiliary hookup but I just use the Bluetooth. I got it off Amazon I think it is LP-269 or something like that. It was pretty cheap an sounds decent enough.- bluex

8 lug to 10 lug adapter or phantom 10 lug rims
If we could just get a low pro LT it would help alot. currently the best is XL in nitro or toyo an we only have these newer heavy suvs to thank for that. If your aren't lowering it you can get AT or MT style treads in 22/24 with better ratings because that's far more popular than the lowered...- bluex

The factory specs tires on it are rated at 2680/2470. So my rear axle has a rated tire capacity of 9880 lbs. Everyone likes to make a...- bluex

8 lug to 10 lug adapter or phantom 10 lug rims
There's alot of bad/misleading info in here... They don't take a 1/2" off the wheel, it's mainly an angle change at the bead seat so the regular 22" tire will fit. The direct bolt wheels are all blanks that start off in China or India. You won't see the 8 lug pattern after you put the caps...- bluex

Ambulance Vans!
I took me a while to figure out but on my charger one push of the traction control button was like that an just let you have a tiny bit of fun. If you held it down about 10 secs it would go to full off and the abs light came on too, I guess to let you know it was serious now. Idk if the newer...- bluex

caster mod in a CPP lower control arm
Some like to do this mod to reduce the overall shim stack by starting out with more caster than stock. I've never had it happen but have heard of people having issues with the shims popping out an this could help reduce the number needed overall an combat that issue.- bluex

What have you done to your square lately??
The "bucket" portion of it is a tight fit, all up into the sides of the stake pocket. There's really no adjustment an the outside holes on it pinch the old tail light flange between the bucket an the hinge. So if theres no adjustment in the hinge (which I didn't see besides the spring mounting... -

Thats what drove this, it also got a sniper2 so needed the efi tank an 60 psi. I talked him into this instead of keeping the dual tanks. Hopefully it works out lol. -

What have you done to your square lately??
It didn't go between but it mounts to where the rear part of the lense housing bolted to the truck. You just put the screws in the opposite direction -
What have you done to your square lately??
That's a good question, I don't think so but it's possible. It's difficult to see with the lense on, but you cant line it up without it :doh2: I was also out of time for the day an just wanted to see it on there. The cutting an fitting took longer than I thought it would -
What have you done to your square lately??
Put the LS Fab tail light fill kit on today. I'm not super happy with it an it won't "close" all the way. Gonna have to give them a call tomorrow. There are other spots to put the spring so I'm thinking i need to move it some. I can hold it an it stays where it should but as soon as you... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Well today was a big day I've been dreading/nervous about on this customer truck. I put the battery in it an one by one started adding fuses and checking circuits. Nothing caught on fire, only a few small issues that were quickly corrected an two that might need parts. Added fuel to it... -

Found a tilt steering column
The steering box end is the same so the c30 should work if you get it with the column. If not new replacements are available, a used jeep cherokee one will work or you can buy universal joints an the shaft an make your own.- bluex

Transmission lengths and transmission humps for 70s trucks + clutch cylinder discussion
I think the only auto trucks that got a high hump were 4x4s. I know mine doesn't have it, the 3500 is tight but it fit. See if you can find the bore an stroke of the stock master for that trans an get a wilwood that matches or is close. Using the z-bar pedals is pretty easy. I stressed about...- bluex

A 3" drop spring will still stay put barely but 4" fall out of the upper pocket anytime you raise the truck up. Its super annoying lol -

6/8 lowering kit
Djm only says the drop arms won't compromise the alignment, but nothing about what they've done or if there are improvements. There are no geometry changes in the drop spindles. I get that your looking at buying the 6/8 "kit" honestly all you need is the spindles an a flip kit. If you just...- bluex

6/8 lowering kit
The problem with combining the drop a-arm with a drop spindle is your scrub line. On 15 or 16" wheels/tires the "drop" portion of the a-arm will be on the ground if you have a flat/blow out. Personally, I'd go back to stock arm with your drop spindle an spring but depending on how you plan to...- bluex
