    Custom bumper in progress

    That van is a BEAST. I know it's a customer's but aside from that it's just huge. Towers over most stuff there.

    Custom bumper in progress

    I have a custom rear too but I'm kicking the idea of having a new one made or modifying the existing one to have a hidden winch put in. I thought hard about putting the hitch mounted winch in but looks for the bumper played into it. Leaning towards a new one because I also need a place to put a...

    Custom bumper in progress

    I was waiting to post this until it was fully finished but here is my custom bumper being built at Wits End Fabrication. It's got a little work left to go. I pretty much gave him artistic license to build it. More to come.

    I gave up on mpg about the time the 37s went on and the 4:88 gears got installed.

    In the market for a new engine

    So I'm in the market for a new engine. Was looking at some crate TBIs, kinda want to avoid the GENIII swap but it is not totally out of the picture. So on ebay I saw this. What are your thoughts on this. Summit and Jegs sell an engine without all the extras for about $1600...

    Reminds me of when I started on my $500 1990. I had lots of rust, a problem that I am still fighting. Good luck and happy building.

    4.88s or 5.13s, what would you run?

    I knew I saw that graph somewhere. Lost it in the mix though. Thanks for digging that up.

    4.88s or 5.13s, what would you run?

    I just got my lift finished up. Running a 6" RCX and a 3" BL on 37" tires. Going to regear next month. I do mostly highway driving 70%, 25% city and maybe get off road once in a great while. I'd also like to have a decent tow capability if the need came up. Truck is a 1990 RCSB K1500...

    Ebay Header fit problem

    So after sitting in my garage for the better part of a year I put my eBay shorty headers on. Bolted up to the engine great however they are about 2 inches narrow of fitting to the y-pipe. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a different set for a 4x4? Right now I'm down to 2 options, cut...

    The Stupid Engine Questions Thread

    When I bought my 91 w/350 the prvious owner said it needed the heads rebuilt / replaced. I ran seafoam through it, Lots of smoke, but the part that bothered me was the black goo that spewed from where the manifolds connect to the y pipe. Anyone think I should be looking into a replacement engine...

    Turn signal, all lights in general problem

    After being under it I found the problem. It looks like a little further up the harness toward the cab the cables got nicked by the grinder while I or the welder was cleaning it up. Causing it to ground out on the frame. Fixed and the lights work now.
