Winter time is near. I know you all have some big projects starting soon. My K5 went from a built 1/2 ton to a rebuilt 1 Ton over last winter. So, as a tradition I will plan another phase of the project.
Okay, 'tis that time of year to see what you are up to for the winter. BIGJ asked me the question "What are you doing this Winter" project-wize, and after talking to him and a few more friends, I came up with this list:
Boatsiding Project. I need to see how to get mine to cut through the water at 300 Plus MPH!
I need to remove the Doubler and tighten up the TH350 adaptor and replace the O-ring. It's leaking now and I'm afraid it might break the back of the Tranny off if it were loose.
Higher angle front CV shaft. If I could just win a High Angle, I would be set! If not, I have the parts to build my own version.
I would like to start on a 4 link rear suspension. With this, the plan is to bob the rear, install a fuel cell, go with the Drag Car tubs and hack the rear fender openings up to the body line. I will move the rear axle rearward to gain some departure angle and help with uphill climbs.
I will also remove the front inner fenders and hack the openings up to the body line.
The ride height will be lowered drasically to lower the CG and make the rig easier to get into!
I have 35 spline outers coming soon and also would like to upgrade to High Steer.
Lastly, I would like to try out the S&W family cage setup.
The overall project is to get a lower Center of Gravity, help Departure angle and overall Climb-ability. I will tighten the body up and give it a new coat of paint. Maybe in a different color!
Stay Tuned... I know theBigdaddyof2 has plans as does laketex and blueblazer62. Lets here your plans too!
