Ok here's a big pic dump

heres the springs before paint and install

once again thanks to Ken448 for letting me snag these for a deal!!

here's them primed

and finally painted silver

here's my helper springs, a big thanks goes out to SuperSprings for partial sponsorship!!!

I also decided I might as well should buy quality stuff so I dropped the money for new shocks as well,

these are supposedly the best shocks made fore the s10

Well it took 2 days to do this install ..the first day I was set back by me having to replace the U bolts which I didn't anticipate, but it was for the best. They need to be replaced since it took me a 45 min just to loosen one and just before getting it off the botttom sheered off.

old U bolts

here's the old leaf springs coming off

new leaf spring on with Superspring helper springs

after the install heres what the truck sits at now... a BIG height difference, but it will go down after I start filling the bed with weight.

It's looking good, can't wait to see it at it's final ride height //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

One question; bottom right corner, what is that? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

now what I did today was try and refinish the drums on the rear brakes

as you can see, rusty as hell

finally got it off.... and all the dirt under the head came off from just removing the drum

after using an air chisle to get rid of all the surface scabs along with a wire grinder, I primed one , here it is next to the untouched opposite drum

didnt have much time to finish it today, so it will be completed tomorrow

also, I plan to redo the whole undercarriage with rhino -line or spectrum, or something of that sort, I cant STAND rust and I'm on a mission to get rid of it. even though it is an undercarriage and no one sees it I want it to still look good.

I also have to take off my exhaust because my Gibson dual exhaust wasnt installed properly (I didn't do the install) and now it brushed up against the leaf springs. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I started my tweeter pods, and its a little more difficult than I thought. The SST.05 tweeters have a VERY large mounting depth (for a tweeter) , so in order for it to fit and not hit the actual pillar frame, it had to be bumped out

start of the baffle

I made the skeleton for 1 and then taped both together so it would be easier to duplicate.

I tried to start wrapping them but its a very awkward thing because the plastic on the pillar is too hard for the staples to go in and its going to be a pain trying to make sure they are both secured in the same way
