I would be happy with a shelf (I have), a hole would collect it and warm it up. Mount a stick on up high, maybe neck level with a straw.

Ordered new front hangers, new rear frame hangers and some J shackles since the axle is moving forward. So much for saving on the shackles, but puts me where I need to be later too.

I would buy it just to have it, never know where it may lead. Sure the brakes can be addressed.

Funny how simple things like fluid changes and leaf spring swaps get outa hand.

Shackles are fine on this setup, need the height.
Kurt, is that DIY4x ?
Yes they are supposed to be an upgrade from the stock cast piece and they have the front hangers too.

What's wrong with it Jr? Can't tell in the pic... did it wear through the tube?
The bushings are worn clean through and the sleeve was riding a good 1/16 into the mount. Not surprized, it is 34 years old,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Well, popped that out as I had new bushings in hand, then the 2 steps back hit again  The frame mount is shot. Not really that unexpected, but that put me on hold again. Now who's to get? LMC truck has the stocks for $50 each, DiYx4 has a pair for $114 with new bushings. Thinking I may just slide the axle up an inch now too. That was the plan with the H1 tires.

And that is all I plan for the rear on top of the receiver. Will be a nice air tank too being 4x6.
But I need to cut off some of the parasitic stuff here;

Well, 2 steps forward and 1 back. Got all new hardware for the springs, then found the rear leaf spring bushing is shot and need to order.
Then new springs with military wrap will rub on the frame, so I need to make new shackles. We have a cool metal shop here in town. Cost $6 for 4 pieces of 2x1/4x61/2 bar. Just need to round the corners and drill holes.

I don't understand working on stuff like this without shoes of some type. I was moving the H1 tires today and one layed over on my foot, thought it was broke at first. Pulled what feels like my hamstring, sucks getting old.

Just take lots of pics, then edit and write with the work done.
No square body stuff if I recall? My sub needs help.

Tasty looking, I want some! That's the chili, not the mud.

Those caliper plates are a pain, Never broke a socket on one or bent a breaker bar but sure I was close.
Looks good though. You know shafts are east to find. 50 less # to carry around.

They do fall apart, good thing you are going there. Not sure on our Dmaxs Dave, but you know GM.

I also pulled the front springs off for the new springs as this thing has about a 4in rake right now. New springs are a 6in lift with and added military wrap and I removed the short spring on the bottom since I don't have a 1k engine in there now.
Naturally the mount had to be drilled out to 9/16. Throwing in the greaseable bolts after cutting the stocks out. A 8lb sledge would budge them, rears were fine.
Ordered new engine mount poly inserts as the current seemed to be crushed. After these go in I need to address the shift linkage as it has a rake to it (probably 4l80 swap).
Spooged up the steering damper jacking it up, so a replacement is on my summit order with new bump stops for the lift. Nice thing is the shocks seem plenty long.

Even though the 6BT is planned for this, I decided to get the stock setup working as best I could for now. To much on the plate for full swap right now.
With that in mind, I ordered a banks exhaust manifold for the turbo. It will allow the turbo to be turned and moved forward. This will allow better flow and let me put the AC back in working order.

Thought mama was going to park in the little garage?
My oldest takes her driving test in the AM.
If she gets it (some reservations) she was supposed to help getting the others to school. Now she says she wants to go so early to park, the others can't be driven by her. Will be addressed as if I am paying for insurance and reg, she will help.
Took the boys up to the snow today. They closed 80 when we were between ramps (CA drivers) so we sat there for an hour. Finally turned around and found a couple spots near Alta. Had a little dinner at Carls JR and went to Bass Pro for an hour or so.

You know I can't tell you guys how many torsion bars I have done without a tool. Just jack up the truck, relieving tension and they adjust easy.
I just got one though as they are just $20 now.

What, no bigger TB with the cam, headers and tuning

I would put it on and plug the hose. Smog police look for the obvious, remember the ECM will need programming for that.

Guess the camera is playing around, looks like it about a foot wide. Not a bad thing for a big bumper.

Well, you come this way be sure to give me a heads up. It is a beautiful place. Just be sure to get your "poop" app for a SF visit.
I need to call him too now that I have the weight of the Dmax and figure spring length.

So about a year ago I transferred my mothers camry over to me for insurance as she could no longer drive.
When I transferred it, they gave me new Ca plates, which I don't understand and I turned in the old plates.
Over the last year I have gotten several letter to pay the old registration from DMV. Now I get a demand letter from DMV to pay, who has turned it over the tax board for collection with threats of wage garnishment, revoking state license's, property and bank liens.
All this over a car registration that was transferred? This state is getting so bad I may just buy a peice of dirt to get out of here.
Rant over for now, but possibly to be cont,,,,,,,,,,
