BENDER stays in hibernation with me

Thanks for sharing the videos:waytogo: Your truck is one of my favorites on here.
 
Desperately trying to get my brakes in better working order for Blazer Bash.

There, that's my update. Stuff that in your pipe and smoke it. LOL, damn C10 taking all my money and time!
I'm thinking of swapping the 1ton front brake stuff for 3/4 ton stuff. I can easily roll my fronts with the accellerator while pushing on the brakes. I also picked up a 2003 Tahoe master cylinder and prop valve. Not sure it's going to fit though, looks like it will hit the hood :(

Well, still working on the brakes. All this fighting is in the garage now.

I did get some shock hoops put in. Give me more shock shaft showing for more uptravel. I was bottoming out previously with 5.5" showing. Now I'm at 7", the center of the 14" travel Bilsteins. My lower mounts are new also, instead of the rock grabbing stockers. Ill see how this works out. I need bumpstops in the front so my draglink doesn't hit the frame while the passenger side is stuffed.

Got the doors and tire carrier back from powder coat. I try to powder coat when I can since I get great work at a great price from someone local. They had a color that matched 100% to the hammered spray paint I used for the cage and doors. But they didn't keep it in stock and would have cost me $100 + for the 5 gal box. :( So this was the next best thing. Looks the same as the rock sliders for a distance.
4 radiator mounts
tire carrier
both doors
sandblasted and PC for $153. Can't go wrong with that :D









 
Damn, a $150 for all that? That's pretty good, I got my doors and sliders done for 325 and that wasa ddiscounted price cause they got scratch a bit while being transported.

 
Yeah, they treat me good there, always have. I found them first for personal stuff, then started bringing work stuff to them. Biggest job I've given them took a couple weeks and $16,000. :D
 
Body Snatcher obstacle during Crack N Back. Got me a little but at least I made it. I'd feel different if I hadn't :(








 
It's all dented.
A tree branch caught the front fender some but that's just paint. Matches the back without the dents :D

Working on video but will be posting in BB forum
 
Gorgeous truck, and a very thorough and helpful build thread for us newer folk!

Thanks, means a lot.
She deserves some fresh oil and a bath. Hopefully I'll be out next Sunday to a local mud hole. :waytogo:

Once they upload to Youtube, I've got 4 more videos from Hell's Revenge I'll be posting in the BB picture thread. :woot:
 
Sweet! Just ordered DIY4x York mount. This is the last piece to the kit, I've already collected everything else!

WOOT freakin WOOT

Showing off my "mud socks" from yesterday :D New winch switch worked great except I'll have to work out another switch AT the winch. Needing someone inside the cab to spool it up, while I feed it, is now a must and it sucks.
