Problem is, that transmission is going to expect somewhere between 3.23 - 3.4 running on 35’s to match what it was engineered for, correct? Least that is what Mitch was showing in his vid and it makes sense. Stock specs of a ZR2 Silverado Bison...

Curious, what are you planning to run for gears? Watched a SwapTime YT vid yesterday that has me a bit concerned about the gear ratios and the 10/8 speeds. I know my 4.88’s will need to go and I don’t want to run larger than 35’s for a daily...

No, but I did get an Aisin from Rockauto that seems to be working just fine...

My dude, I don't own your truck, I have never been under your truck, I have never seen your truck. If parts need to be replaced, then replace them. If they don't then don't.

Craft Customs did my LX450 wheel about 9 years ago. Had them add the faux wood sections to match the rest of the interior. Looked great for about 6-7 years, and then the leather started to peel the outer died layer off, so it is black now at the...

Congrats on the startup! So you mentioned DeatschWerks for the fuel pump early on, what is it that you used? Seemed to imply it was an in tank pump… Brief search of their site didn’t seem to indicate so.

Did you talk to Torfab about the fitment issue, or you’re just on to headers as the fix? Headers will increase under hood temps too won’t they?

^ This. Confused… it was a big draw for me to the kit.

He will NEVER get that time and money back building on this bucket of an 80. He’s not into off-roading. He doesn’t wrench. He’s in $10k and already sweating bullets. Owning a quarter century old vintage truck isn’t his jam. Dump it and get a...

It could be about that simple looking if you have a separate 12V power distribution block for all of the additional accessories. Something like this: Blue Sea Systems 7748 Safety Hub 150 Fuse Block -...

Both model LC are great. The 100 is for sure more refine and more comfortable than the 80 especially for overlanding travel. Both models will require quiet a bit of love at this age and will cost quite a bit if you were to bring it back to its...

I recently put these on my 450, I’ll have to look at the rears, but in that pic of the front resi, did you modify the bracket per the instructions and reposition the mounting hole? I’m pretty sure they are supposed to go on the top of the coil...

How hot does it get in your part of Texas? I’m on the fence yet on any LS/LT swap here in AZ as I know others have struggled with keeping engine temps in check here. The DI aspect of an LT concerns me some too, but the Torfab solution is very...

Are you going to use the factory radiator?
