what's up, was on my lunch break, I entered.

its definitely a cool process, and a lot cheaper than custom paint.

Nope. Not in vegas. In reno/ sparks.I'm tuned in.

wow, makes me want to get a video of my lvl 4 on the 3-4 channel of my 120.4.

i think it did 153.?

lets see if this works. i just saw it on facebook. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=401154079941693

that was a fun show, wheres the vid of the boat and golf cart?

eventually i want to do a cam swap in my 98. check out this site/thread for info on cam swaps for the 96-98 vortecs. http://www.gmt400.com/forum/showthread.php?9901-heads-and-cam

i would look into a mid length or full length header,the biggest issue with these trucks is the 1 7/8" down pipes off the manifolds. i tried shorties on mine and noticied a little better performance. i now have doug thorely tri-y's,with 2.5" downpipes into a universal y-pipe(2.5" in/3" single out) into a highflow cat with a 14" magnaflow muffler with it dumped right after the cab. the performance now is quite noticable down low(torque).

when i painted mine, i used 220 grit on an orbital sander,filled in the seams with some bondo,sanded again with 220, 5 coats of primer,sanded again to smooth it out,then the base coat,sanded again with some 320 and cleared it.thats with a rattle can.

thats some sick paint work,any plans for the exterior?

i have 2 myself, my youngest one will follow around and stay right beside my wifes almost 2 year old nephew,also had our friends over who just had a baby and she laid right next to it the whole time watching over the kid. heres some pics.

some of my old one,

happy b-day bro!!

get the front of the truck up in the air,when your friend gets back have him or you turn the steering wheel back and forth.look for play in the tierods,or any other steering components. to see if the balljoints are shot, grab the tire at the 12 and 6 o'clock position and push and pull.you shoud have very little play.looking at you pics,it looks like its time for some new parts.

check ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACDELCO-18A650-Front-Brake-Rotor-Disc-/160718920861?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AFord%7CModel%3ABronco%7CYear%3A1993&hash=item256b981c9d

this van used to be yellow, how long ago were you in sparks, and rusty the van is looking good.

shit will choke you out faster than a mma fighter.that van is brutal.

happy birthday.

i do pest control for a living, as for using poisons like decon.it is a really bad idea,i know they put a ban on it last year.you cant buy it anymore in stores.you can still get poisons that are in pre baited box,that have a very low chance of secondary poisoning if a pet were to eat a rodent. now if you want use poisons. i suggest you place it in the crawl space of your home,in your garage where pets and kids cant get to it,but i dont recommend it.by law when we use poisons,we have to have it in a tamper resistant bait station. i place them in the corners of the garage(1 on each side of the overhead door, and 1 by the water heater,if that is in your garage.)the best thing to do is walk around your home and figure out how they are getting in. places to look for are around any gas lines,water lines,exterior vents,dryer vents,and check to see if you how your cable lines are ran through your house. and cracks in the foundation.you will want to seal up any gap that is 1/4" or bigger.same with the garage,water lines, gas,and around the door framing. i use silicon (not foam,they will chew right through it) to seal up entry points, the bigger holes you are going to want to use 1/4" hardware cloth, not chicken wire.

i've had good luck using peanut butter and jerky.as for the glue traps, they suck. i've seen mice get off of them.

how much $$$? i could use some.

i thought the port might be a little small, i can ditch the aero, and do a slot port. i'm thinking 16-18 per cube. i'm thinking 2 cu ft on the ported side and .65-.75 cu ft on the sealed side. tuning,i'm thinking between 45-49 htz. i listen to alot of metal,with the occasional rap.

i want to try a fourth order for my lvl 4 12, i have roughly 3.5 cu ft to work with. it will be going in between the seats of my 98 chevy single cab, it will be powered by a dc 2k(hopefully thats what the wife bought me for christmas.) i'm thinking 2:1 ratio, with a 4" aero.just want your guy's expertice on what i should do. heres an idea of how i want it to look.
