From here untill June of 07 all I changed was the tires... In March of 07 my G80 decided to explode and took the trans with it. I got a new GM reman and installed a detroit true trac and yukon gears.

Here is a pic of it from June of 07 with new rims and tires... 17x9 Moto Metal 955 and 32/11.50/17 SSR

I Finished college in December of 07 and from there mods have never stopped. In Febuary of 08 I installed a 6 inch superlift, 3 inch body 4.88 yukon gears front and rear and 15x10 m/t classic 2 rims wrapped in 38/15.50/15 TSL and the wheeling began. In April I blew the 10bolt again.

In April of 09 I blew the 10bolt again.... I have come to the conclusion that the axle housing is most likely bent... Carrier bearings dont last in it.
I decided it was time to step it up and went with a 14bolt full float with machined 6 lug hubs 4.88s and detroit locker

carrier bearings keep getting destroyed due to what we think is a bent housing... the true trac held together like a champ

Hey, thanks for coming over! Always loved that truck. You should also start a build thread in the offroad build section. Just copy all your tech posts there.
