U mean -15? I’m going with the -24 offset. Probably going to shave the wheel well a little. 
 
I really like how the Silverados look in the prerunner style! Looking forward on how yours turns out!


No sir, +15. -15 would be an insane amount of tire and rim sticking out

Pulled a Pgamboa

Be careful... pulling a pgamboa means you’re truck will never be 100% intact. LOL!! [emoji23]

Took the valence off last night for a little change of pace.

What ever happened to the grille guard man? Love that spoiler on her though, adds a nice little something extra.

I have a severe case of parts ADD and needed to fit my truck in my new garage. That bad boy added 12" to the front of my truck.  

 

The spoiler got some mixed reviews on the GM/Chevy FB groups but I like it a lot.  The quality is awesome.

Ah, yeah fair enough. The added length is a bit of a pain on these already long wide turning trucks. I'm looking at adding a grille guard similar to what you've got here, was wanting one with a winch option like an oldschool warn grille guard but have been struggling to find exactly what I want. Truck looks great though.

 

When you going to wrap the interior to match the seats?

I know I want to do something with old man woodgrain but not sure what.  Back and forth between adding Max 5 to them or going with a brushed aluminum look like my stereo surround.  I love camo as much as the next guy but sometimes its too much and I haven't been able to find a quality wrap material in Max 5. I'd like a nice gloss finish....

 

Running boards, brakes, and shocks are next...

Ah, yeah I think most wraps are matte. Def a balance but yours is well done with properly fitted seat covers not the autozone specials so I think if you choose to wrap it can be a nice simple touch. To each their own though. I'm a big fan of kryptek and am wrapping mine as soon as the wrap shows up.

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • 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.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
