Installed KYB MonoMax shocks inplace of these:

What were the previous owners thinking ?
As I removed the upper bolt in the front the (stock)shock collapsed...

Anyway, the difference is huge.

Re: What did you do to your SY/TY today?

Took me 20 min to do mine. wow you did something different then I did to take that long.


OK i just finished replacing the motor mounts ( what a b*****d they are ) it took me 12 f*****g hours, but i was on my own witch didn't make it easy :(. I also fitted one of the tiedowns i got off nallj92 to hopefully make the mounts last longer. Before anyone says I'm mad for not going to solid mounts it was because i hate vibration and as i use it a lot i didn't want to take the risk.

I think now Ive done it once i could probably do it in about 8 to 9 hours next time, and yes i know there will be a next time:roll:

Man the polished look would look soooooooo nice.
And soooooooo much work. I don't have time to polish. The valve covers will be polished since they are fairly flat without any nooks or crannies.

well no one wanted to help do my fuel pump so I ended up jacking the bed up with my step father and little brother.. god damn project and the lines, hanger and locking ring were all rusted to hell so now I need a new hanger assembly

i could never understand why everyone lifts up or off there beds when i just dropped my tank out the bottom. Took me about 2 hours start to finish to do my pump. I have to do it again to put in another pump now

I have done both. Pulling the bed off is better since you don't have to worry about emptying the gas tank.

Rusted fittings are a pain.

because there isn't enough slack in the hardlines to drop the tank without bending/breaking the rusted lines so I thought I had a better chance of making it out without any damage by getting at it from above... no dice it was beyond bad and would have to be delt with sooner or later plus I needed a new pump the current one was leaning out at higher boost which made driving the truck scary.

Yep. My bud helped me when I had to replace the fuel pump on my old S10 on the first day of the new year a few years ago. I tilt the bed when I do fuel pumps. Took us 35 minutes from start to finish. And that is with the bed bolted back on and the truck ready to drive.
