    Tire size kn a half ton

    I wouldn't run 35's with that gear, it'll run worse than a pig in heels. I run 35/12.5R20 on my 1/2 ton but I changed to 4.56 gears.

    Daily truck pics

    Hi Jack. It's the 4". I debated long and hard between the 2 & 4". I figured because the truck is lifted, big wheels etc the 4" would look better and it does. Didn't know there is a 6" option. I've had a black satin vinyl installed on the side of the scoop to give it that subtle break.

    96 Burb K1500 Under DownUnder

    Went land speed racing last weekend. Never done anything like that before, what a great weekend. Track days do not compare to this rush of speed. Truck was a pleasure to drive, certainly a head turner that's for sure. The corvette that was parked next to me sure is purrtee, and certainly...

    Who’s done snorkels?

    I've helped a couple mates fabricate them out of 4" PVC drain pipe - bit rangi but it works though. I prefer them made out 4" SS pipe - looks way betterer; could use exhaust pipe if that is all you have/can afford. Local engineer fabricates them like this:

    New tools!

    Hey fullas, any idea where I can buy these type g clamps in bulk? Here they want about $20 each :banghead:

    My Rear Disc swap from drums observations

    That is the difference between what we call "steerers and drivers". For those of us who have driven professionally, use the brakes to hold the vehicle not the gearbox no matter if it's 40T or 2T. Gearbox is not designed for the way you are using it - period. Just because you have been doing...

    96 Burb K1500 Under DownUnder

    The guards (fenders) were blended to match the new paint, flares were re-fixed, grille inserts painted black. Much betterer but still a work in progress switch installed for my rear mount winch

    Picked my truck up from the panel beaters yesterday. The guards (fenders) were blended to match the new paint, flares were re-fixed, grille inserts painted black. Much betterer but still a work in progress

    My Rear Disc swap from drums observations

    Interesting read on the technical stuff fullas. I do strongly agree on one thing . . . drums suck! :nutkick: I actually remembered to adjust them while I had my rear wheels off, now my parking brake holds more betterer but for how long, who knows. Shoes are new and the drums were re-faced...

    Lift knuckles

    I disagree, and I say, yes you can because I simply did just that what the OP is asking. I had a rancho 6" lift already on the truck when I bought it. Due to compliance laws here, I cannot use a modified steering link, so I removed it. I installed the later model 6" lifted BDS knuckles and...

    96 Burb K1500 Under DownUnder

    Replaced the spring packs over the weekend. Truck rides a little nicer and no more unladen swat issues. Also dropped the box off at my panelbeater's shop.

    I paid $179.97 to have parts shipped 9 miles... WTF?

    I know how you feel mate. I bought the 5+1 pack from SDTrucksprings.com and paid USD$150 for truck freight. When I placed the order I hadn't realised the shipping agent I was sending the items sent too, had moved a couple blocks. I didn't think it was going to be such a headache but the ****...

    96 Burb K1500 Under DownUnder

    Bit of an update - Tow mirrors on finally on. Seems the kids like the "monster truck" when out and about and the occasional senior citizen. Photo taken in July when out shopping. Couldn't help myself parking next to a stock height 'burb. Haven't seen the vehicle since. I have only seen one...

    New Dorman and Cardone master cylinders

    I bought the Dorman M630031 and it's been installed for about 18 months with no issues. It fixed the spongy brake pedal feel which my truck suffered from which is why I made the change.

    I'd be more worried about the missing bumper, looks a bit rude without it :Wedgie:
