    Front wheels skipping in 4WD

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone would know why when I engage the 4WD system in both 4Lo and 4Hi the front wheels do not spin correctly. The front wheels lock up and leave skid marks on the road. It went from working fine to that. Do the electric 4WD systems still use vacuum and if so, could it...

    reviving old carpet

    I used orange blast and resolve mixed. Orange blast is a degreaser and my truck was a work truck and had grease in he carpet. Night and day and I left it in the truck. I agree that if you have the time to remove the carpet then do that. But what I did worked great without removing. Orange blast...

    Need Ideas to make my truck look better. Help?

    Nice work removing all that add on stuff. That visor over the windsheild although effictive I am sure, is horrible looking. The chrome gas cap was horrible too. Nice work. I would now remove the side molding and the chrome along the bottom. Every nice GMT400 you see that people compliment the...

    Help me identify this grille guard!

    I have a Go Rhino on mine that is similar but this one in your pic doesnt seem to be the bottom bar that the GO Rhino has so I think you can rule out that brand if you want the same exact one. If not, Go Rhino has a chrome one that is really similar. IFyou get it, IM me as their instructions...

    Help me pick which OEM rims to go with.

    I think option 1. I think the squared off design goes better with the body style of the OBS. I was hesitant about these GMC rims but I think they work well for the body style as well.

    anyone have a green ext. cab with a black bottom?

    Man, it is your truck so def do as you wish but I think you are making a huge mistake. I have the Medium Blue Green Metalic color as well and I think the black bottom is really dated as is the tan. It is a very early 90's look. The only trucks that look good with black bottoms is red 40's trucks.

    Any camo interiors here?

    Your dash where the a/c controls are, where did you get that please? Did it delete the factory C/D player or storage bin and relocate the climate controls without having to cut? Or did you have to do some cutting. Looks great man. Sorry to thread jack.

    I like the last one but with an orange line instead of green to separate the grey and black.

    New rims for Ariel

    Thanks Powar. They are only 20" rims but even those are not for everyone so I appreciate your compliment. I really didnt think I was going to like them as much as I do.

    New rims for Ariel

    Yes, it is the factory paint. The pic and lighting is doing it some justice though. It needs a repaint. The driver's side is more nicked up then the passenger side.

    New rims for Ariel

    I appreciate the feed back. I do want to level it. Just never done a crank before. I will hit youtube and see what I can find. I understand the idea, just havent actually done it. After these tires wear, I plan on some more aggressive A/T tires for it.

    New rims for Ariel

    I guess I am just not to familiar with them. I will have to google image the differences in appearance between the 2 and the 4" Two inches can make a big difference. Ask my wife, she can also back up my manliness...lol. But seriously, I have seen some cowl hoods that are just ugly because they...

    New rims for Ariel

    Thank you Old77! I wasnt sure that this style would look good on the OBS trucks but I was pleasantly surprised once I put them on. I kind of agree with you on the push bar and lights but I do use this truck for hunting so they actually serve a purpose. But, I still might take them off. Not sure yet.

    New rims for Ariel

    So I scored some FREE 20" GMC rims. I couldnt find another OBS with this specific style NNBS rim. I am really liking the way they look. So much so that I am ditching the lift idea and keeping it stock. Just going to get a 2" cowl hood, color match bumper and grill and a tailgate then repaint. I...

    Got some GMC 20" rims and put them on. I had not seen another OBS with this specific NNBS rim style. But I am really liking the way it looks. So much so that I am thinking of leaving it like this. No lift needed. Just needing a color match bumper and grill, 2" cowl hood and it needs a new...
