Project: GNARKILL: The dovetail begins!

[K10 KRAWLER]

The Bumpstops are removed But I wasnt the one who removed them, When I got the frame they were already gone. But I dont see a reason why you would need to remove them becasue there is only one small tab and one bolt at the bottom to mount on the lower section of the frame.

My bumper from blazen offroad showed up today! Im hoping to put that sucker on as soon as I can!!

i was just wondering cause on kerts website it says it uses the rear rivet hole of the bump stop for location. i didn't know if that meant you had to remove the bump stop or not

Oh I see well I still think you would be able to leave it on because the bumpstop is on the bottom and the mounting tab is on the top, you probably just have to drill out the rivet and put a bolt through the hole

i like your dash also, what are you doing to keep your eyes on the fuel level?

I have A Guage installed, lower left

looking good, where is your rear diff breather hose run to

I ran it along the frame into the box of the truck by my fuel cell

I pulled my bumpstops when I put on my DIY4X inboarding kit too. I think you could keep them with minimal modifications though. I have been thinking about putting mine back on.

ive got to figure something out for upper shock mounts in the rear and i was really looking for a MOO rear shock inboarding kit but all the ones ive seen sold. id like to keep my bump stops but i could deal with getting rid of the rivets and putting grade 8 bolts in there

I would prefer bolts over rivets myself

It's not like those bolts/rivets see much load anyway. They just need to keep the bracket from falling off or spreading open.

 

[K10 KRAWLER]

I agree

So I Got my bumper from blazen offroad installed over the weekend with an additional 12000lbs of warn pulling power. It fit right up against my B-52 with lots of room to spare I had to drill the 2 of the 4 bolt holes on the side.

Even though Its not attached in the picture this is where I mounted the sending unit for my wireless winch controller. As for power on and off to the winch I went off the top of the battery to a solenoid.

This is just a pulley to go in place of my A/C compressor, which i was not using, or will ever use.

I thought I should take a few pictures of my box and all my trail gear, tools and parts.

I was starting to brainstorm on where I want to mount my Hilift and I was thinking of mounting it right behind the cab. I have not attempted to make brackets for it yet, but any ideas are always welcome.

And I ended the day with a little drive and picture time. I noticed white smoke coming out from under the hood on the way home. I pulled over to have a look and saw that...... after topping up with coolant it helps to put the rad cap back on.

LOL.

Whoops!

Ok I am 95% Ready to hit the trails (until I get some more coin for my next project, *cough* frontaxlerebuildwithlocker *cough*) All that I must do is replace my front wheelbearings and hubs. I got my exhaust finished today and the truck sounds way better. So in celebration of my truck being so close to ready I went over to a friends place and did some pre trail mud testing, he found some cooling issues and the only problem I had was with my CB. Oh and I put more stickers on my truck.... I CANT STOP im a monster! heres some viewing pleasure

 

[blazerboss 85]

Ya know Gnarkill might not be a good name. I like it, always like Bam and the CKY crew but you remember Jackass 1? That's the one where they take a golfcart paint it with Gnarkill and almost kill Johnny Knoxville? Hope you have a good cage
