That what I thought you meant, but wasn't sure if it was you or the phone talking,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Sorry for all Sean.

He has a plan for us all, regardless of how it comes about.

How do you go threw airbags like that, is something rubbing?

Never an issue with my 06, but haven't pushed the limits with it either. The Ruenel bumper should address any issues.

That sticker may be on there for some time before discovered,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Driving the truck would call for video!

Well Sean, I can't say it rides bad, but think it could be much better. As for shock seals, why would a coilover seal be worse or better than a regular shock? I run bilstien 5100 now which work well.

Now I attribute much of that to having the TB turned up with little down travel. The Cognito UCA help there, but I am using up spindles and upper ball joints. Been through some tie rod ends too. Now much of that will be fixed with the cognito lift I have, bringing things back into alignment. Perhaps with that and new shocks a better ride will occur. Either way I have to get new shocks with the lift and I got the NTBD lift to keep a cleaner look.

Thanks for the input, not sure yet.

He mentioned they need maintenance, just wondering what?

So lets say I do this. There is what, King, Fox, QA1, Bilstien and probably a few more you guys know of.

I already have Cognito UCA, so what is the maint issue on CO vs keeping em clean?

Can't believe it has been almost a year on this. Guess an update is in order.

Shuffled things around and this along with a LS engine swap will get done before the Spartan conversion. Spartan has not changed, been getting parts for it. But I need the room and fewer projects before I tackle that engine swap. I even find myself looking on CL for diesel subs, and have found a few but price, location and funds don't meet.

So as I flip the 1500 sub, I will do the lift on this. First here will be the gear swap on the front housing. I am also seriously thinking of going to coilovers on the front (with the IFS) even though I have the no TBD lift. I am now sitting on 130k and it still runs sweet but the ride could be better.

Maybe Ken or Sean can give some input on the CO's? Looks to be almost a bolt in, but I may mode the upper mount and do a brace over the engine. Any thoughts on this guys?

This SUV did what I wanted and was sold. I lost a little, but the buyer was happy and I got my asking price.

I am redoing my builds so I have the time and the ROOM to work on this right. So the plan goes like this;

Getting Spartan running again (new dist and TBI) going on. Add axles and such as times allows to make room for things.

Finish the 1500 off and get it sold. Sorta need Spartan for this as the wiring is the same and that is the issue the 1500.

During this I will put the bumpers and the lift I have on the Dmax (including gears and looking like coilovers in the front). Just to much clutter around to work on things.

Selling the Sami at the same time for the room and $$ flow. I have a few K in into this with many spare parts, should sell good here.

Then the El Camino will get the 5.3 swap along with the 4 wheel disc and front end rebuild. I have everything for this on the engine stand I need for the cummins, (plus a few more boxes) so it makes sense.

Then all I will have is the cummins to swap into a solid truck with room to work. Right now I can see less than 1/2 of the garage floor and I just cleaned! I also need to get the compressor outside (thats the 5.3 on the engine stand)

Oh, and during this I am building a room upstairs. Then the kitchen and all new floors. Basically I do dad things and the house during the day, auto at night.

I have also promised the boys a treehouse. So yesterday I cut the frame out for the floor and bought 3/4x12 lags today to bolt it up. Now I have to make brackets for the lags. Goes here in the front yard, but the tree has grown out more now.

You know, I had more time and $$$ when I worked,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

My garage needs a good cleaning and I even have some coating someplace!

Pictures, nice. Now get it dirty!!!!

Is it a 3 car with a drive through?

Nice you are keeping busy. Good luck and prayers on the FIL.

My boys love shooting clays with anything! Next in line are shaving cream cans.

Like the vacuum and light setup. I have the 12v whatever with a bag on the exhaust. I have a spare little vac that would work nice!

I second that. His rep with the allisons is second to none.

That is sure a nice looking place. Must be a pleasure even to work there, much less it is yours!

That wood looks good. At least the little stuff will burn good.

I want to see what you get for chief. You need a good pond not a watering hole.

How come no insulation behind the board? I like the use of 14g romex, but see you snuck some 14 in there.

^^^^I won't say it. Nope....just won't do it...

Are we all thinking the same thing????????????

Unless your wife farts and drinks more beer than you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Nuff said

Just needs a drive through! With all that, why back in?

Thats why we did prop 13 here in cali. Can only go up 1.5% a year unless sold or you add on, then just the add one is added on.

Craigslist or estate sale? Use searchtempest to search all the sites.

Im good, wifey is iffy.

THX to all!!
