@drifkking I was in disbelief that that was the only way it came out, then I finally tried it and it came out super easy! Unfortunately I haven't been driving the car, about 2 weeks after the rebuild, 3rd started grinding again. A lot of people think it's the short shifter that ruined it

@@lht5dy31 at that time, they were 31x10.5R15

@@commander785 because of the plate? Does that mean everyone knows who everyone in traffic is?

@@Brakenex they can read plates you know... which means, they might know who you are if you see you, if they identify your license plate number

If these are plastic, then they're heavy as hell 😂

@Brakenex I mean it'll still add atleast 3hp

Spacers. My new setup is 16x10, so a little bit wider

Are you in the US? If so, it's not too hard to find aftermarket stuff, or you can even use rockauto to find some mechanical parts, otherwise dealer is probably best bet Double check your powersteering fluid level, sometimes it's something as simple as that... however if it is low, it could indicate that you have a leak (pump, rack, lines) which could also be sucking in air and creating that problem

@@Brakenex it is leaking slightly and I’ve had to fill it up twice in about 6 months but I didn’t drive it for 4 months. Can’t really tell where it’s coming from and my mechanic is a bean head and won’t listen to me when I’m saying there’s a problem with it. I’ve asked to change it and he keeps saying I don’t need to. I am in Canada, rock auto seems to be decent for most things I’ll need which is nice except power steering stuff I need to fix it other than seal kits. So I’m gonna buy a shaft seal cause those apparently wear out pretty quick so maybe that’s something that could be causing it but it’s honestly more annoying I have to wait now if I need to install a new steering rack because I’m not getting direct responses from anybody who’s looking at the car. Dealer ships have probably been the worst people I’ve ever had to talk to when it came to parts. Not very helpful at all and half of them just giggled when I mentioned an old Lexus so idfk. I have most of the stuff I need I just need to know what to do with the steering cause I wanna make it pretty buttery to turn and rn it’s not a rock but it’s definitely not that smooth. Like I was saying I’ve heard bushings on the rack helps but most of the forums aren’t helping with this specific issue and expect me to know everything with my first car the month 🤣

@@Brakenex I’m not sure if you’d be able to trouble shoot the leak but it really only leaks after I drive it for a bit. I think that may be the reason my mechanic hasn’t noticed anything cause it’s just chilling almost all winter, it barely leaked but as soon as I drove it it leaks a bit by the time I check it in the morning

@LeWeedMonke damn I'm sorry man, hmm to be sure, I'd probably drive it for about an hour, bring it back home, jack it up, put it on jack stands and check it out yourself The bushings are very easy to see once you're under it to see If they're crumbling away, but it would also give you a better idea as to what is actually leaking with your own eyes If it's dirty or greasy under there already, I'd take brake clean and clean the hell out of everything underneath theb go drive it that way you'll see what's getting wet on the newer surfaces

@@Brakenex I could do that and completely dyi it but there’s also a additive that just makes a black light react so I can check for leaks that way or use one of those stop leaks for now cause tbh I could just replace the entire unit but I’m not sure if there’s a point. I just ended up buying the shaft seal to see if the old one is the cause cause they do shrink a lot and who knows last time it was changed. Seems like it’ll be easier to find a brand new rack then the bushings themselves maybe I’ll even get a seal kit and see if it’s the pump but honestly not a huge issue but I just don’t wanna be on the highway and boom my steering is gone but yk how mechanics are not really knowing what’s going on but trying to give advice

No problem, thank for watching. Here are the ones I bought: AmeriLite for 1988-1999 Chevy GMC... www.amazon.com/dp/B08GFDNZ6F?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Thank you, love how they look modern and not too blingy, almost like a factory look imho.

@bradc5433 no problem! That was my reasoning too, I like that the reverse light is wider, so looks sort of like the Cadillac ones, but also retains the overall factory look until the running lights are on, theb it looks modern

I did! I learned very quickly that I needed to change something. I have the Freedom Offroad upper control arms... overall I'm still not 100% happy with ride quality, I think next big move is BDS 6" kit (I don't want to deal with torsion cranks)

I torched off the bump stops.

@@jimwack1436 the metal bump stops? Or those triangle looking bushings?

@@jimwack1436 that’s a great solution. Did that completely do away with the alignment getting knocked out when you hit hard bumps & pot holes?

I thiiiiink you might be able to (if you're talking about the front) but if rear, just get it from the back of the housing

Thank you! 💪

Yes sir! And improved steering feel!

They fixed it, what's crazy is one of my friends has a newer Subaru and something similar happened. But they totaled his

Yes, but my hose was crumbling to dust so it was also an upgrade :)

Still holding up!

I shit! I've been skipping on muffler bearings, they're probably worn way out at this point

Truthfully I'm not 100% sure

But I know the jzx100 fits in the is300 no problems, they're just shorter so you have negative camber

@@Brakenex In my country the jzx100 wishbones are not available

@@Brakenex That's what I want 😁

@2129339 oh yea it's still a chaser right? If so they should work!

Hey man I appreciate the comment but my car was automatic, I swapped from a 91 Supra

@@Brakenex thank you for correcting me. You goin for power, or just wanted a good 5 speed?

@ashtonberrett5401 at first it was just wanting a good 5 speed that I wouldn't have to replace with boost, but I've since lost interest in the car and currently just trying to sell it

It would take a long time, but you are correct 🤔

😎 yes

The fender flares? They're actually OEM from a suburban of the same year :)

And a misfire

No problem! It should be super simple! Just make sure you have all of them (I put part numbers and how many are needed in description) You got this! Let me know how it turned out

@@Brakenexbro should oil be coming out of this ?

@@MattAyala-ux5bd should only be coolant

@@Brakenexeither my coolant is dirty or looks like oil coming out leaking onto alternator…. Rn and also I got a broken stud inside where the 2 bolts are holding it down

I think so too! Has that little bit of modern-ness without being over the top

@@Brakenex gives you a bunch more visibility also which is always helpful

@@chgotbanned especially on these older trucks! Lighting ain't great

Truth hurts 😂

With many more to come! 😂

I think you're right 😎

LMFAO 😂😂 that is so funny

Not by much but kind of

Not at all, it's super easy! Make sure you don't install the o-rings dry though, you'll risk damaging them

Thank you sir! Truthfully I'm not 100% sure but the brand is "waag" it's definitely heavy

You’re welcome

Stock setup!

Double castle nuts

I thought they would have stopped after putting the cotter pin in, guess they wanted to be EXTRA sure it doesn't move lol

Honestly, pretty good! Noticeable different, but I can say that my lift screwed a LOT of things up, and the bushings on it are worn out but that's it, the stabilizer itself is holding up! (No leaks or squishiness)

@@Brakenex ah I c I c. Just ordered this same kit for my pickup. Mine is only cranked a little on it’s keys. Aftermarket -44 offset rims and 33inch tires make it wonder😂

@@paytonwitte7601 hell yeah! I'm eager to hear what you have to say about it. Even on a 3" "lift" My 33s still rub pretty bad

@@Brakenex oh man it’s a night and day difference. Can drive on the highway with one hands with minimal adjustments now

@paytonwitte7601 amen! Such a cheap investment in comparison to the benefits it provides!

My shifter is notchy as hell. I used to have a TopSecret shift knob, which is maybe 2 inches tall? But it physically hurt my wrist if I drove the car for an hour because you had to almost force it into gear I got a super long shift knob and it's easier But after a FRESH transmission rebuild, now 3rd gear is grinding again :/

@@Brakenex Oh that's so unfortunate. Could it be the transmission shop mistake?

@blindcheto195 I don't thiiiiink so and I really hope not because it worked fine for a few months, but my thing is I only drive the car on weekends/every other weekend so it's hard to say

Customer only wanted pads, and they are greased believe it or not. I don't dump the bucket on everything like this Mercedes we had come in, they had put so much grease on that it was transferring to the front and back sides of the rotor

If you roll your fenders, it shouldn't! Mine are rolled

😂😂😂 classic

Replaced the shock of course! Vehicle was in for state inspection... can't be having that

Aww yeah ;)

Easy day!

Hell yeah that's awesome man! From personal experience, go with an actual lift with the torsion drop brackets, don't turn yours like I did on mine, ended up breaking a lot more than I would have liked. I'm trying to get my ducks in a row and get an actual kit now!

I ended up going with the 2.5" skyjacker lift, after having issues with the cheap 2" crank lift. This kit is AWESOME! This, paired with a 3" body lift will give you a truck that is solid, performs better offroad, handles much better on-road vs a 6in lift, holds front end alignment like stock and wears the front tires evenly like stock suspension! If you plan to do serious offroading often or rocks crawling, get a BDS Lift kit. Worth every bit of the $$$! If you want overall better performance on a daily driver, then go with my above recommendations...

I also went with Skyjacker M95 shocks and they're also hands down, the best bang for the buck!

BTW, My truck is a 1997 K1500, ext-cab, 3dr, Z71, 4x4, 5.7L....
