Still looking? Considering selling mine

thank you :) – was a fun project

Hey gang �� I built this drawer & hot-shower system for my truck only to then immediately decide to build a trailer. Think I'll probably build something similar but more integrated into the trailer so I've posted this guy for sale. Feel free to get in touch if you're interested in it or are...

went the DIY route with some new headlights/corners from amazon and an HID retrofit kit – based on this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_49i6JZreU&ab_channel=Speedy%27sGarage

good to hear – I just installed a 1” body lift hoping it would make those bolts and the rear shock top bolts more accessible. last time I tried to do the clutch without that working space and eventually gave up on it. guess I’ll give it another go in about 70k. cheers

Nice work. How’d you manage to get a socket on those top bell-housing bolts? Did you have to drop the cross member and let the tranny lower down a bit to get clearance?

thanks! that was my original plan so I’d been monitoring local junkyard inventories but hadn’t seen anything come up after a few weeks. I’m not a patient person, though. ditched that plan to just use what I had at my disposal – plus, this way was a big $0 project (the best kind) I actually...

Some people like the 99-02 bumper design – I am not one of those people. And after installing a 1" body lift last week, it was looking particularly heinous. So this weekend, with a lot of trimming and fabricating some new mounting brackets, I managed to make it visually tolerable (for my taste...

Curious if you ever resolved this issue? I'm experiencing something very similar

Thanks, Tim. I’ve got a long drive back to Texas this weekend from Sedona, so we’ll see how it holds up after adding another round of free-play. If it burns up, hopefully my mechanic will stand behind his work. Otherwise, I may be taking another stab at doing the repair in my garage — gave up on...

He didn’t mention any oil contamination – said the disc itself was pretty glazed but that the real issue was pressure plate, which had significant heat scarring. Also replaced the fork and throwout bearing with the first clutch.

Hey, Tim – curious to get your thoughts on my clutch issue. I’ve had two new clutches installed in the last few months and both of them have seemed to fail within a few thousand miles. In both cases, the main symptom is that the clutch starts to smell like it’s been burning when shifting from...

curious about whether you ever resolved this issue? think I’m experiencing something similar in my five-speed. I feel it most through the floorboard but might also just be paranoid after having just replaced the timing belt, etc. didn’t notice anything really odd during that process; about to...

good news, thanks. those rear shocks are a real *****.

What size body lift do you have on here? I'm debating between a one and two inch to clear what otherwise looks like a similar suspension/tire setup. Would love to keep it as low as possible
