95C1500 Intro and Build Thread

[95C1500]

Went on a little exploration. Found what seems to be the only damn dirt road in this town anymore and it was 40 minutes away. Found a cool bridge over a water crossing and a couple of puddles though

Thanks man!

Yeah it sucks. I'm pissed because the transmission was rebuilt 2 years ago (and 40,000 miles but still). Transmission guy said the torque converter blew up and trashed the internals. It should be back on Wednesday. Then I'll install wheels spacers in the rear and my green cluster LEDs

Went on an offroading/hunting trip a week or so ago.

All of the "toys" this weekend

- 2008 Polaris Sportsman 90 4x2
- 1991 Kawi KDX200
- Not sure what it's called but it's a 6 wheel drive monster
- My 95 2wd
- My friends 87 K5
- (Not pictured: 1998 GMC Jimmy 4x4... completely stock)

Ran the damn thing out of gas. Reserve tank didn't have anything in it haha

Didn't do bad at all for a 2wd

I've got a couple videos I'll post later

Looks like fun 95. Thanks for posting up...

Damn I used to have a 91 kdx200. Took me, my backpack, my fishing rod and my .410 many, many places.

Nice to see you over here Scott...as for the 6x6 it looks like a Polaris Ranger

It was a blast

Great bikes. Very surprised at how capable it was.

Yeah you're right. Couldn't think of it at the time

 

[95C1500]

And as quickly as i bought it, I've decided to remove the grille guard and side steps. Ditch the 10 bolt, 5 lug, and wheels and tires and put a 14 bolt sf with 18" z71 wheels frome the 2010 silverados on the truck.

Much like this.

Oh and the POS toolbox is long gone.

Did some towing with it the other day.

And my suspension is squeaking like hell in the back now. I've been getting rid of it temporarily with some silicone spray but it's just not working anymore. I guess it's too much to ask to have a truck that goes own the road without creaking an squeaking. Oh well. I'll have a shop press some new bushings in when I swap this thing in
