haha! I love that show. and good idea about the axle shaft, next time I hit up the junk yard I'll head over to the white bravada I ripped everything else off of haha

 

It removes the vacuum actuator and cable and leaves the front axle engaged full time. (4wd only when the tcase kicks in)

Also, here's a good thread about front lockers

 

seems like a crap load of work for the front locker I may not do that. It did remind me I should get a steering stabilizer thou, I've broken 3 idler arms already...

 

Request for a write up on the G80 install!

 

Lol i know ive been lazy about other write ups but i'll make sure to get this one posted

 

When you plan on lifting your rear again with an add a leaf or air shocks, I would do both. I have 2" lift springs for the rear and coilovers but i might want to go heigher in the front an inch and same in the rear to keep my 1" raked look and then my coilovers wont be used till the rear end drops an inch to 2"s. So if i keep 20lbs in the air shocks to keep them just up thats what i figured would be best and then add some more if im wheeling or carrying heavy stuff and i think that will work good with your situation too. Deff intrested in the bravada axel and g80!

Edit: Yeah my idler arms are hating me too i think my moog one is going to crap out on my too but i have a warantee. A stabilizer will help fix this too? Sorry for so many questions lol

 

thats what I read on the zr2 forum. so when you are hitting all kinds of bumps without a stabilizer the idler arm is taking all the hits. with the stabilizer that takes the hits instead of the idler arm.

 

well I've come to the realization that I'm dropping way to much money on my blazer... had another hub go out yesterday had to have it towed home and changed it in the rain this morning... I really miss my s10 I think I'm going to look for another one. Preferably a zr2 5 speed that is a little newer than mine. So there is a possibility I may be selling a lot of my stuff off of my blazer soon. I'll keep you guys posted

 

Well, i would just go a bit back with your blazer instead of buying a new one...

Just drop your torsion bars a bit back and you won`t rush through frontend parts that fast...

 

yea I could do that... but I could have used a pick up truck for a lot of things I do, I really miss having a 5 speed, my first truck was a black s10 5 speed.

I might go and take a look at this one. looked up my trade in value of my blazer its about $3500-$4000 so I figure that'd be a pretty good down payment, and then just get a loan for the rest

EDIT: well I thought about it some more, most of my front end parts are the best you can get now, and I think I'm just gonna pick up a body lift and lower the torsion bars, maybe get some stock shackles should even out and stay at about the same height it is now, I just get depressed when my truck makes weird noises and breaks. I should probably replace the hub on the other side since I replaced the old ones at the same time I'm sure that one is just about shot too... hubs aren't cheap either kinda sucks.
