Dvst8r · 03-11-2009, 04:46 PM

underslung = limited lift.

blazed00 · 03-11-2009, 08:59 PM

hmm, wont a underslung frame look kinda weird at ride height??? im trying to imagine it, having a hard time tho

Dvst8r · 03-11-2009, 09:09 PM

9'' is plenty.

NevurMind85 · 03-11-2009, 09:29 PM

yea 9'' is plenty althou more is better hahaha.

purplepassion · 03-13-2009, 02:49 PM

the only way to get more is a canti setup, which won't keep the floor low, or sleeve bags again..........which can blow anytime.

the dominators have 9.7" of usable stroke, so it'll be perfect:

purplepassion · 03-14-2009, 02:02 AM

i worked on the ac/ps bracket some more today, and got it pretty much done. there's just a couple spots that need some more work......

after i get this done, im gonna do the alt bracket:

once i get them both "done", im gonna get them powdercoated black

Dvst8r · 03-14-2009, 10:42 AM

purplepassion · 03-15-2009, 02:07 PM

dude told me $20 for both of the brackets, so im deff gonna be doing them. and im pretty sure i found the headers im gonna use:

(this is more of a personal note than an update)

Dvst8r · 03-15-2009, 08:47 PM

Says for a 96-97 4.3 s10. I wonder why they wouldn't fit anything with a 4.3? (I know they would I was just wondering why they put that on there)

purplepassion · 03-15-2009, 08:48 PM

i think it's something to do with the egr and air injection stuff. the valve covers, headers, and pulleys all say they wont work on my motor. lol

***orangesonoma*** · 03-15-2009, 08:49 PM

is it done yet?

purplepassion · 03-15-2009, 08:50 PM

president, please!

ZQ8 Blazer · 03-15-2009, 11:35 PM

btw on the headers you probably already know, but if you get ceramic coated it looks a little better imo and won't change colors(I don't think, ha ha)

Dvst8r · 03-16-2009, 12:41 AM

I like when they turn purple and blue. But I think they will rust too. Not sure. Gonna go up to Smith's tmw?

ZQ8 Blazer · 03-16-2009, 01:40 AM

That's the stainless ones that turn colors.

Dvst8r · 03-16-2009, 01:42 AM

I thought ceramic coated?

cHUcKs10 · 03-16-2009, 03:32 AM

If you end up getting those then make sure you pick them up at Jeg's, they're $20 cheaper there.

Also, what do you have planned for the ABS?

ZQ8 Blazer · 03-16-2009, 06:10 AM

I had a set(for about 1k then I sold the truck) and they never turned a different color, the clear ceramic coating just faded a little.

yea. im looking into the ti-tech coating or w/e. it says they wont fade or anything, and have a couple year warranty if they do

nope, i work all week. i'll be up there thursday though

yea, i saw the price difference. i was already on summit, so i linked them from there. their site is easier to use imo.

and the abs is going in the garbage

The ones I got were off ebay, they were $175, but was for a 94- 350 TBI. They fit perfect, but in any case you need to get some of those self locking header bolts.

Whenever my motor decides to go out which won't be anytime soon I'll get a set, I'm not about to try and put a set on with the engine in the vehicle, looks like it'd take forever.

purplepassion · 03-16-2009, 10:06 PM

yea. i cant see it being too fun w/o the frontend off or the motor out

blazed00 · 03-17-2009, 12:50 PM

you want to get rid of those f9000's?

***droppedss*** · 03-17-2009, 01:21 PM

we put the JBA shorties on the sonoma about 2 years ago. PITA

purplepassion · 03-17-2009, 09:03 PM

purplepassion · 03-21-2009, 12:58 AM

the shop got re-arranged today, so progress will pick back up again very soon. the frame will prolly get started on next week, and i'll deff have more pics thursday. until then, this is to hold you over:

22x10 bonspeed clutch.

that was jacked all the way up, until it hit the tubs i already have.

Dr. Pepper · 03-21-2009, 01:06 AM

sickkkkkk

purplepassion · 03-21-2009, 01:10 AM

they're not mine though

lol

2001xBlazer · 03-21-2009, 01:16 AM

you should prolly buy some cause they look good on there.

purplepassion · 03-21-2009, 01:22 AM

yea, they do look awesome. im gonna run the archers this year, and maybe buy some new billets next year. 20x8 & 20x10 either intros or bonspeeds

Kenny_Cox · 03-21-2009, 01:46 AM

maybe try to steal those clutches. They look damn good lol

cpolaris502 · 03-21-2009, 03:52 AM

Thats a big wheel, you definitely need some.

Dvst8r · 03-21-2009, 04:16 AM

Is the truck tubbed for 22's. Doesn't look like it.

purplepassion · 03-21-2009, 10:37 AM

no. it's only tubbed to lay frame on 20's. and there is no way i could've gotten it to lay flat frame. i woulda had to make my pinion nasty for the driveshaft to clear the x-member

Dvst8r · 03-21-2009, 12:13 PM

So 22's are out of the question?

purplepassion · 03-21-2009, 03:29 PM

yes and no. i could run them if i wanted to, but i dont. all the tubs i have right now have to get cut out anyways, so it wouldn't be a problem. i just dont want my tubs 1/2" away from my windows, so im gonna stick with 20s

Dvst8r · 03-22-2009, 03:47 AM

Thats cool. 20's will look good either way. Are you going to the rockers or to the doors? I don't know if you said or not.

Woody22 · 03-22-2009, 03:57 AM

rockers...

purplepassion · 03-22-2009, 05:37 PM

yea, just the rockers. and i ordered my headers, p/s pulley, and a new thermostat housing today

Woody22 · 03-22-2009, 05:55 PM

who did you get your headers through..

purplepassion · 03-22-2009, 06:11 PM

i got the edelbrock ones through jegs

draginlow · 03-22-2009, 06:30 PM

so do you have the air tube for the egr on the manifold? i have been looking for a set but dont know what ones i want yet. i dont have the air tube

purplepassion · 03-22-2009, 06:44 PM

mine doesn't have it either, so i'm just gonna plug it off. it shouldn't be THAT noticeable. and the more stuff you have under the hood, the less noticeable it'll be.

supposidly, every part number has something different about it(some the headers themselves, some the y-pipe, etc.). just little changes, but my luck i'd get a set that wouldn't work at all. so i just broke down and ordered the ones i knew will work fine. it'll just have a little plug in it that barely anyone will notice

and both brackets are done and boxed up, getting shipped out tomm for powdercoat

Dvst8r · 03-22-2009, 07:57 PM

Who is doing the powdercoat.
