Thanks. That's awesome. I looked and looked for a newer efi k5 but never could find one when I was trying to trade my blazer, camaro, z71 lol. I tried trading them all for a newer k5.

Drove her to work Wednesday. Did pretty well going between 60 and 80 on the interstate. A little sketchy when hitting the brakes though because of the suspension being a little "loose" I guess you could say, lots of swaying when braking and changing lanes. But over all great. I really enjoyed it.
Trying to get a lift fir Christmas from my parents.

Small update. Started removing the carpet and such in the carpet area. Didn't look half bad under there. A few surface rust areas but nothing seriors by no means. Decided that the flat 31/10.5/15 wouldn't really so me any good if I were to have a flat so I took one of the 32/11.50s I had in the shop that come off of it, and put it in the back for a spare. Fills the space out much better since I have nothing in there at the moment.

Still no lift yet hopeing for it sometime after the first of the year. Looking at a few other things as well.

Replaced the broke headlight adjuster tonight. Can't wait to drive her and see how well I can see with it not facing the ground now lol.

So much more visibility when driving now. I'm really glad that I replaced the adjuster

Be very careful with those, the ones I got were just chrome ones that were sprayed black. Used a 4 way lug wrench at first, half the paint started to coming off of them. Used an impact the other day to take the old 15's off and it finished eating them up.
