just ordered RC tonneau cover. Tri fold. Hopefully will be here by Friday so I can get it on this weekend : )

for the guys who have done a RC lift...are the "n2.0" struts that are an option to include worth the extra money?

Very Nice!

Added the wheels/tires and Morimoto 5500k HIDs today. Loving the look. I'll snap some real pics this weekend from my good camera

2" RC level installed, I'm not feeling like I got the look I was after.
According to cab measurements I still have 1" of rake....
Any thoughts?

2016 Deep Ocean Blue LT Z71 4wd

AD19B3F7-6E28-4205-A283-1C72468EE630_zps

Picked it up a little under a month ago. Still weighing options on level/lift and wheel/tire combos before I do anything but leaning toward a 2.5" Front and 1" rear and 275/70/18 Nitto Trail Grapplers on the factory wheels for now.

Mine's the same. Although I got the 2.5" level with the 1" taller rear block so my net difference in the front is 1.5". I still have 1" of rake. It bothers me but I'm starting to not care about it. I promise only you will be able to tell lol. Truck looks great!

Got my first truck this past 4th of July weekend. It is a LT 5.3L 2WD All Star Package. So far I only put Tyger Side Armor steps, have RC 2" leveling kit and BAK G2 Bakflip on its way. Currently debating if I should get some 20" either matte black or dark bronze (I like dark bronze, but I have seem much truck with bronze wheels on street, not sure if it is too weird).

 

Before side step

These are the Tyger side step, looks pretty sturdy.

Thanks, I think with some bigger tire/rims it will look better. Appreciate your feedback

No prob, yea you can't forget that new tires will raise it some more too, the higher it is the less noticeable the rake is.

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
