    2005 Chevy Colorado Build Up

    i agree, as well as carrying somewhat of a load. i removed my canopy, rack, spare, tool box etc, and found the aals surprisingly more jarring. i measured before and after and lost .5" with approx 350-400 lbs, but the ride was again softer and smoother. good job NE, i also couldn't stand the...

    2005 Chevy Colorado Build Up

    right on, i'm sure you'll be pleased. if nothing else, the ride is much smoother on rough backroads. well done with the scientific comparisons too!

    2005 Chevy Colorado Build Up

    unfortuneatley i believe now it's "made", as he no longer makes these. i've had the full set for a year or so, and and very glad i do. looking good NE, i guess the good thing about a small aftermarket, is it makes the choice easy;) are you still thinking about the skyjacker kit?

    The TP thread...

    i tottally agree. less is more, know what i mean? biodegradable, recycled/able, carbon credits etc. don't neccessarily mean guilt and impact free.

    Some of my ideas to share with Colorado/Canyon owners.

    first off, that's a sick truck, i've been admiring it over on cfans for awhile. have you had any contact with your rear driveshaft on the crossmember? i'm interested in a rear bumper, may get a local shop to fab one up. i'm interested in something like this member has: also, we both live in...

    i'm pretty sure you guys have the same sliders, just from watching coloradofans.com and on here. pnwcolorado (or is it sneaky?), looking forward to your build thread, and i'm in the market for a rear bumper as well, would love to hear your ideas.

    Heater and a Tent

    for those with propane heaters, do you find its a "moist heat", as i've heard propane can be, as compared to electric or wood fire of course. thanks.

    Removed sway bar w/ IFS.

    i definitely notice a smoother ride on the rough logging roads, and havn't had it up to highway speeds yet, but so far so good. anybody encounter any suspension/driveline issues after the removal?

    Removed sway bar w/ IFS.

    pulled the sway bar off today, and the front has some more articulation before the body tilts. not huge gains, but worthwhile i feel. i'd like to hear some tips on life sans sway bar. i'm slightly worried about overstressing the cv's while they're at a harsh angle. thanks for the input.

    2005 Chevy Colorado Build Up

    sweet, will you be using the rado? i agree about the aerodynamics, i needed a place for a spare (33" doesn't fit stock position), but i did notice some noise increase and mpg decrease... the sliders will be great, what is your current r&p ratio? also, i'm hoping to do a trial removal of my...

    Cooper ST's - 255/85/16

    fwiw i've had a 33x10.50R15 on a 6.5" rim (min. reccomended 7.0) for nearly 2 years/50 000km, and no worries, other than a slight wear on the middle of the tread. i even rubbed a log once and wedged a 3"x1" sliver of wood between the rim and tire, and it didn't even lose any air!

    Custom Rack Mounting on Fiberglass Cap?

    i had a local fab shop make me a cargo basket, which i mounted to my ARE fibreglass canopy. it has 6 feet, with 4 bolts per, and all feet are mounted to the "edges and corners" of the roof of the canopy. the rack was overbuilt, and weighs more than i would like (around 100 lbs) but i guess i...
