Picked up some tubular upper control arms (4/20/12 sold these and ordered a set of Michigan Metal Works uppers and lowers with the Jeebus Joints)


IMAG0507.jpg


Also Picked up a jeep steering shaft which I have not installed yet.

http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forum/g...eap-obs-3.html
From the everything I could find the correct shaft will be one from a 88-96 jeep Cherokee. I picked one up on eBay for around $20 shipped. I should be getting it today and I might try to swap it out when I get off work. I am going to try to take a bunch of pics and make a write up to post here on gmt400 this mod is also only good for the 88-94 guys as the steering shaft changed in the 95+ trucks.
 
Got started on the rear

both of these last two pics were taken with the bed just sitting on the frame. Everything lined up and bolted up just fine which was something I was sweating over. I cant stand when the bed is all lop sided or looks like its about to fold into the cab lol.

I put new shocks on the rear this weekend which for anyone wondering 98 s10 2wd 4.3l stock rear shocks work perfect for the Ekstensive rear kit. I got one of my front shocks mounted. Lol. I also threw on a set of billet wiper arms.

Re-wired my compressors using some 4g with and a nice stinger 80amp relay and got rid of the two crappy viair relays I had back there. I brought some of my 4/0 wire to my apt so I can get ready to do the huge 3 (big three doesnt cut it when you have 4/0 wire lol). Finally did something with the big ol 12 gallon tank I bought a while back too.

Heres how it looked after I hit it with a coat of the same paint I used on my truck.

IMAG0953.jpg


That was just not gonna cut it for me so I took it to the powder coat shop and got it blasted then powder coated candy red metallic.

IMAG0976.jpg


IMAG0974.jpg


IMAG0975.jpg


The pictures do it no justice and it was kinda over cast today too. I hope today is nicer and I will break out the good camera and try to get some better pics of it.
 
Ended up not using this rear but including pics anyways.

Finally brought my other rear end( 3.73 posi) up here to prep to go in too. I took it to work this mornin and whacked all the brackets off with the plasma to save me a lil work.

IMAG0979.jpg


IMAG0980.jpg


IMAG0981.jpg


Here's some of the new compressor wiring.

IMAG0950.jpg


IMAG0951.jpg


And a random truck picture from inside the shop at work.

New Drum hardware kit, master cylinder, brake hoses, wheel cylinders, and brake shoes.

IMAG0991.jpg


Nice hardware kit, has everything you need for the drums except for the e-brake spring.

IMAG0997.jpg


Drums where already here but got a better pic this time.

IMAG0994.jpg

IMAG0996.jpg



IMAG1015.jpg


I finally got one side of the drum brakes put back together.

IMAG1017.jpg


Well I got some free 3/4 MDF from work and just finished measurement and calculations on how to fit my RE Audio SE15 15" sub in my truck lol. I am going to try and get it all cut today at work and assemble it when I get home. Going to go in between the seats and should a little bigger than the factory center console. I am going to carpet it and make a top plate that will be upholstered and padded to use as an arm rest.

Here's some pics of the beast.

Did a little work today. Got the frame botched for the tie rods and got all the mdf cut for the sub box.

IMAG1031.jpg


IMAG1032.jpg


IMAG1033.jpg
 
I got the box built and put in today. That thing slams in there definitely got some rear window flexing. I had to remove the ARM rests off the seats but I cut a piece of mdf and wrapped it in some gator to make a new ARM rest. I put some small squares of fat mat on all the sides to help with vibrations.

IMAG1047.jpg


Heres my update for today. I changed out my front 2 bags for some slam ss7 bags because they were starting to separate in the middle. I also got the new tank mounted up too. I am going to post a pic of the before which has never been posted cause it was pretty hood it was one of those hurry up and get it done things.

Truck get some redonkulous lift with the new slam bags.

IMAG1081.jpg


I got my big three kit installed today. I didnt have my meter to get actual readings with but there was a huge improvement. When my compressors and stereo would be on it would drop down to around 10-11 volts at idle. After the upgrade it stays at almost 14v at idles with compressors running, radio on, and the fan on high. The compressors sound so much better when they kick on now too.

pic of the gauges with everything running.

Thats about all I have gotten done lately been so dang busy with work and other crap. I finally managed to get every single lil air leak fixed, that was a major pita. I am getting some new horns today a set of Nathan K5s muhaha :evillol: and I am ordering some MMW control arms tomorrow :rocking:. One of these days I will get that new rear end in I hope lol Gotta go out of town this weekend so hopefully next weekend. Idk if any of you guys despise bleeding brakes as much as I do but I found a site that shows how to make a good one man bleeder for only $25 or so. I am gonna be building one of those for sure before doing all this brake work.

Link:
bleeder


Got my train horns last night. I'm Thinking about getting them powder coated candy red too.

IMAG1116.jpg



In 4-5 weeks I should have some bad ass control arms. Damn shipping was $87.14 these bastards must be beefy lol.

IMAG1122.jpg


Man I love me some craigslist I'm stuck at work but a buddy just went and picked this up for me. 9"x6' tandem axle fender for $10 brand new just has a lil surface rust. I'm gonna make some mounting tabs so I can bolt em in so I can get them powder coated that candy red.

DSC04962.jpg



Small lil update which some of you saw on facebook last night. I got my core support painted since I had everything apart tracking down a short in my HID harness. I got that fixed pretty easily.

IMAG1184.jpg


I also got my second layer of fat mat on the passenger door so now the roof, doors, and back wall all have 2 layers. I put 2 layers down on the floor for a total of 3 layers and 3 layers on the trans hump for a total of 4 there. Looks like I might have just enough to do one more layer on the doors or another layer on the back wall, not sure where it would be best placed. No pics of that cause it got dark.
 
Got my MMW arms in yesterday finally and man these things are beefy. Gonna be dropping them off today after work for some candy red metallic powdercoat along with a few other items.
