1969 GMC · 12-30-2004, 04:25 AM

sweet! so that's the "crossover" steering everyone has been talking about lately.

**Yukon Jack** · 12-30-2004, 10:53 AM

Wow, that one has the new experimental clear driveshaft - supposed to be incredibly strong, dare I say unbreakable.

MAC67 · 12-30-2004, 11:06 AM

i myself am kinda partial to the 14 inch front blocks with added tube steel spacers , mmmm good

88Jimmy4x4 · 12-30-2004, 12:36 PM

Thats very safe, especially on the front

Budweis · 12-30-2004, 02:08 PM

one way to fix that problem is why dont they stop selling ubolts that long. just plain ridiculous and you know anyone buying ubolts that long is up to no good.

784X4GUY · 12-30-2004, 02:38 PM

Yeap now that is no joke Budweis...Later Mike

**JIMs70GMC** · 12-30-2004, 06:43 PM

I thought you were serious! I wanted to see the 8" of lift! With no driveshafts we don't have to worry about him putting it on the road!

GMC71k20 · 12-30-2004, 10:43 PM

jim, hopefully this weekend itll be finished up...at least im hoping. i finished the front brakes last nite. you should just come up here and do it for me, seems like you and vtblazer could work circles around most of the guys on here.

**JIMs70GMC** · 12-30-2004, 11:22 PM

I can't hold a candle to vtblazer he rolled on that burb!

**Canadian694x4** · 12-31-2004, 01:02 AM

Can't wait to see new pics with the lift...have you decided on what type of tires your gonna run?

**special-K** · 12-31-2004, 08:59 AM

*1FaastC10* · 12-31-2004, 09:02 PM

one of the maintnance guys at work rolled in with his new toy, an 84 K20 with 4" of lift and 33s on it. short truck, til i noticed the 4" lift blocks at all 4 corners. couldnt understand why they arent safe.

784X4GUY · 12-31-2004, 09:47 PM

Who couldn't understand, Him or You? I like the look of a 4-6" lift and 33 or 35" tires...Later Mike

I think if you are going with a pretty aggressive tread on your tires Black Steelie's would look mean on your Truck. White does look better if your going to put stock caps on tho I think...but choice is yours.

I am attaching a pic of a suburban with black steelie's that I thought pulled the look off and the tires aren't really all that "aggressive" either...

784X4GUY · 12-31-2004, 11:47 PM

Nice Burb ya got there man...Later Mike

Destructo · 01-01-2005, 03:45 AM

I have almost no chrome left on my truck, its all blacked out with Apple Red paint (code 72 I believe?) the grill is black with red paint in the middle, both front and rear bumpers are black powder coat, wheels are powder coat black with a red stripe and the only peices of chrome left are the side moulding and the drip rails.

784X4GUY · 01-01-2005, 03:50 AM

Who needs chrome anyway? lol...Later Mike

GMC71k20 · 01-01-2005, 04:36 PM

im leaning towards black, but if i ever come across a set of hubcaps, then i'll go with those
vtblazer, im still plannin on visiting this spring/summer. my only problem migt be the fuzz. lets just hope the mass state troopers dont know the lift laws in my state...
