tomorrow im doing the frame sliders that are also rocker panel repairs do you guys want a detailed how to on this as well as just before and after pics?

 

[KidVermicious]

What, like boatsides? I'm intrigued.

 

[Bad_Vision]

yup same idea but instead of just sheet metal they will double up as frame sliders. so no more pesky rusted rocker panel and lower quarter and bonus rock sliders!

Update

i got a deal on a 91 pickup so i changed the 4.3 set up to a 3.0 while i build a killer 4.3 cammed out and bored out. so while i do that ill be able to drive my toy.

This truck is going to be so sweet when it's finished. Keep us updated!

 

[Bad_Vision]

[Bad_Vision]

Need help deciding the gauges

what do you guys like better?

 

[GonOvr]

If I had to pick between the two, definitely the american muscle set. The first one looks like an antique wall clock.

If you are into the old look. I think these look way better!

Im not a fan of Herculining the exterior of rigs personally. I have buddys that did it and it look sick at first but it picks up every bit of dirt & dust on the trail and eventually fades, not to mention knuckle rash when stumbling around in da middle of the night out in the woods! Haha! But the rest of your rig is sick!

What was the money breakdown on the 4.3 swap? Did you do the work or sub it out? My 94Runna is a total budget build and I'm doing all the fabbin on it so I'm just curious. I plan on upgrading the motor so thats why I ask.

4.3 engine 250$
advanced adapter conversion bell housing advance adapters clutch disc and flywheel $1072.00
advance adapters likes to rip off toyota guys they dont sell a full everything kit and they dont offer any kind of deal for ordering 1000$ + at once
Howell EFI stand alone ecu and harness 500$

as for right now i got a full v6 pickup for 500$ and im swapping in the 3.0 until i finish the rebuild of the cammed 4.3

the bed liner is easy to keep clean if you do it RIGHT the bed liner will be sprayed with a high amount of UV clear coat.

i do everything myself.

Nothing is budget about ARB air lockers 1400 each with high pinion 5.29 gears)
my ass hurt after that

 

[SV_Dude]

I don't think it has anything to do with your spending habits
