    Fabricated up an aluminum bracket to mount my PSC Power Steering Reservoir. Now I can fit my stainless steel lines / AN fittings for my Tallon Hydraulics Hydro Boost brake system. Just have to send these out for powder coating and we will be in business!

    98~05 Blazer brake upgrade! DONE!

    Oh forgot to mention I had to use the factory Regal (G Body) brake hose mounting brackets as the straight brake hose support bracket from the Blazer allowed wheel / tire contact at full steering lock

    98~05 Blazer brake upgrade! DONE!

    I’ve got mine attaching the calipers at about a 45 deg downward angle from being parallel to ground if that makes sense. Had a helluva time getting my copper compression washers to seal though. Finally ended up installing some Earl’s Stat-O-Seal crush washers. Fingers crossed ( haven’t bled the...

    Air in brake system still?

    I've got the Motive power bleeder and the 1115 large GM adapter. Works great, just gotta be sure you've got it clamped down with some extra C clamps or it's gonna leak under pressure and spray down your firewall with brake fluid! Ask me how I know. LOL

    HELP Upgrading Sealed Beams to H4 Headlamps

    Be sure to get Hella 4"x6" "E" code headlights. H4's (for Low Beams) and their H1's (for Hi Beams) as the two have different crystal patterns to throw the proper cut off and illumination.

    Question on rear tire to frame clearance.

    Installing aluminum brake drums will get you a little more clearance vs the cast iron drums as they will act like a small spacer, believe these will give you an additional 1/4" frame clearance...

    Hey Jimmy, can you tell us more about the adjustable proportioning valve. Looks interesting. Kinda appears to be very similar to the original factory unit and mount in same manner . Brake lines in and out seem to be the same too. Is it a bolt on deal? Curious What brand & part number?

    Brake lines and a rant.

    No need to lift the body to change those two(passenger and drivers side) front brake lines. I just did this using replacement front steel lines from in line tube. Wasn't too bad working under the car on jack stands on my back!
