I bought his quick disconnect links and they developed play that caused a loud clicking noise while driving within a few months. So I bought a set of his ball joint non quick disconnect links and the ball joint snapped on one side after about a year, during which I barely drove the truck. So far...

Photobucket is wonky ... pic is blurred out. What is/are the part number(s) for just bushings?

I'm almost done building my third 3rd gen, would love to come up and wheel the Sierras with you sometime. Been wanting to run Fordyce since I was a kid.

Stash a lone key inside the vehicle somewhere discreet, unlock the doors with the FOB then stash it in your pocket or cupholder while you drive. Easy.

I had this idea when I had my very first 3rd gen ages ago, and now I'm debating actually doing it. The idea is to make a false trunk, a la the Honda Ridegline in the location of the stock spare tire. You would cut out the floorboard in the rear cargo area, remove the stock crossmember (that the...

is this kit any good? https://www.amazon.com/Powder-Coated-Calipers-Ceramic-Performance/dp/B00EOBMFAY seems reasonable and easy, if it's any good.

FYI, the reason I ask the below question is that I want to have CBI put a 2" receiver on a swingout so I can mount my 1UP bike rack and have it swivel away for easy cargo area access. Since I am running relatively small and narrow 33x10.5 tires, it would be great to keep the spare in the stock...

Can anyone who has the CBI Hybrid rear bumper tell me how much the receiver would have to be relocated rearward in order to clear a 33" spare under the truck? I believe someone mentioned that the spare would fit if you deleted the hitch, so I am wondering if rather than deleting the hitch...

CBI OffRoad Fab: On your Hybrid bumper, would you be able to push the receiver back a few inches and make clearance to mount a 255/85/16 (33x10.5) spare under the truck? I REALLY like your hybrid bumper but I am pretty set on not having the spare mounted on the swing-out. I would obviously be...

Has anyone ever made a tire skid plate for the stock spare location? Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to make a circular skid that would go under the tire and be held in place by the stock hand-crank cable winch. Just cut a round piece of sheet to the diameter of the spare, weld a short lip...

I had the same thought and seeing yours with paint on it proves that it looks great! Where did you source the 96-98 license plate bezel? I have looked all over online and come up dry. My truck is millennium silver metallic so if you want to sell yours since you got a new truck, let me know!

Your opinion is not an opinion, it's a fact; lift has no correlation to the size tire you can fit. Unless you are talking about a body lift, a drop-bracket lift or unless you extend your bump stops to limit compression. This is a very common misconception that for some reason still hasn't died...

Realize this isn't the classifieds but since this thread is about supercharger it seemed like a logical place to mention that if anyone ever wants to sell one I'd be interested in picking it up. Had one on my old 3rd gen and miss that extra power!

Fenders. I don't know of anyone who makes rear glass for the 3rd gen. Have only seen it for 2nd gen. Best bet is probably to open up the wheel wells slightly and then install sport flares with the inner mounts trimmed off, leaving behind only the outer shell. Haven't seen anyone do this exact...

Anyone know if these are forged and also how much they weigh? I've always liked these ever since they came on T100s way back in the day. Had them on two of my 3rd gen's now. Thinking of just powdercoating them instead of getting aftermarket wheels.
