    HOW CAN I MAKE IT GO FASTER?

    Should be able to do 65 easily right now. What RPM at you turning at when you are "topped out" at 58 mph? You sure your engine is running right? (proper tune up, good compression, cam lobes not wiped out)?

    Opinions on cutting out catalytic converters.

    They are good for starting brush fires. And since the whole world is in a drought and on fire there is that to consider. That being said I had a shop replace them with a straight pipe. Had to pay cash. Don't think they will do that anymore. There are aftermarket ones that flow well- and it...

    Off-road bumper ??

    They still sell it as far as I know. Once you are on the bumper page (they show the full coverage bumper) but once you start to fill out bumper options below: 73-87(91) years then there is the option for full coverage or the low profile bumper. Low profile is $100 less.

    Silly question about my leaf springs on my 73k20

    GM put the leaf springs on top of the axles.... unlike some Jeeps where they are mounted below the axles.

    8inches 38s

    There are some on here. I'm trying to keep my center of gravity lower, so have a 5" lift and 37s with crossover steering. Quite a bit of fender trimming. Since fenders were rusted it wasn't bad to do.

    Transfer case support bracket

    I was always warned not to use those. It was a poor band-aid type fix. Will just put stress elsewhere and I think I remember it will then break the bellhousing/transmission or could crack the transfer case.

    Steering Stabilizer - K20

    ORD sells a Bilstein. Now I don't know if it was *actually* made for a GM vehicle, or ORD found a Ford/Dodge/International Harvester one that had the right specs... But it is expensive. https://www.offroaddesign.com/bilstein-steering-stabilizer.html

    Good resource for 9+1 Rear Leaf Springs?

    If you want new packs look at Rockauto. And we get a forum discount there. They offer several different brands. When I bought rear springs I chose Dayton- been around a long time.

    Winch Bumper wanted!!

    I have an ORD front bumper. Didn't want to add too much weight- makes a big difference in trying to float over deep snow. Guess I can't add pictures anymore. :( Wait- guess I figured it out.

    LED vs halogen.

    Last year I did some electronic tech work for one of my brother in laws friends. I refused any sort of payment because we started talking about trucks and offroading. When he heard I didn't have off road lights he ran to a back room and dug some Rigid cube lights out (D series PRO) that were on...

    14 bolt ff disc brake swap

    Yes, any 14ff you strip down (by unbolting) to this: And then your caliper bracket will bolt onto the housing. Then it will look like this: However with the first brackets I had they were not quite made right. The caliper wasn't centered over the rotor quite right. I had to shim it out (or...

    What tha... rear end is this,

    Huh- been around horses some but didn't know the name of those. Had seen a few and didn't give them much thought. I learned something random today! :D Figured they were called a merry-go-round but with live horses.

    Tow a 5th wheel camper trailer with bed mount hitch ?

    When my dad bought his 5th wheel in 1989 they just used a 5th wheel hitch that only bolted to his bed. Not the frame. His 5th wheel rails run front to back in the bed and his hitch slides into it. My 5th wheel hitch if frame mounted and the rails run side to side. Anyway- the RV place said that...

    Tailgate trim

    My truck didn't have a tailgate when I bought it. I went to a local junkyard and bought a random GMC one. It had 5 holes drilled thru it. These were supposed to be for the trim that was missing. Only picture I have of it... it was 20 years ago. Can see two of the holes. The 3rd hole over was...

    Can you convert 4wd to 2wd... without changing front suspension?

    Don't 2wd long bed trucks use a carrier bearing/two piece rear driveshaft since the driveshaft is too long without a transfer case?

    Anyone install truetrak limited slip?

    I've had the eaton truetrac in the front of my truck since at least January of 2014. Might have had it longer- can't find my notes on when it was put in. Never had any issues with it. Ran 285s at first, then 315s and now for the last year 37s on it. Have used it in mud, sand, snow, ice, dirt...
