Drivers side is 98% done. Still waiting on the correct bracket and another ebrake cable for the pass-side. BTW both cables are the same P/N even though NAPA calls out a driver and passenger side... The P/N I used is 94724 for both.

ebrake cable routing; the length is perfect for this configuration:

I'll add another clamp further forward on the trailing arm:

I need to get some new retainer clips, but I think the OE style will work perfectly here:

Looking damn good I see your getting the rain too... How much block do you have in the rear..

desertrat · 12-25-2007, 05:51 AM

This picture looks cool. I so much want to dislike big wheels but you guys sure make them look good.

Coming along nicely Frizzle!

babyblueoval · 12-25-2007, 05:55 AM

Frizzle,

I just realized that's the same tire I'm running, different size though (275/45x20).

Have you been able to put many miles on them yet? Just curious what you think.

They were recommended by Jim at the TireRack so I figured they'd be good.

Not many miles on them yet but so far so good. Low road noise. There are pretty well rated in all the reviews.

Yoko Parada Spec-X on my Blazer. Nothing but good for me...

b&a72 · 12-26-2007, 05:19 AM

I am also running the Parada Spec X great tires. I have nothing but good things to say about Yoko's I run them on my 4 banger, and my Tahoe as well.

Rokcrln · 12-26-2007, 05:55 AM

Looking good! Heck with as small as those brakes look I bet you will be able to change pads with out removing the rim

Sounds like good recommendations to me.

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY TRUCK TOGETHER!!!!

**Hart_Rod** · 12-26-2007, 04:16 PM

FF, maybe I missed it, but how are you connecting the caliper to the brake lines? Is it a rubber line or a hard line? Thanks,

R/

Frizzle Fry · 12-26-2007, 05:46 PM

Just rerouted the OE hardline and used the thread adapters supplied in glock's bracket kit:

**Hart_Rod** · 12-26-2007, 06:50 PM

Thanks, I was just making sure. All my other cars that had rear discs used a rubber line to go from the caliper to the axle. Since it uses a hard line, I'm assuming that part of the caliper doesn't move.

R/

ElGracho · 12-26-2007, 08:31 PM

From that picture, that part of the caliper does move. I'd recommend getting some rubber or braided hose in there. It's a very small movement and might be ok, but you'd hate to work harden the steel and get a crack...

Frizzle Fry · 12-26-2007, 10:03 PM

Good call guys.

low burb · 12-28-2007, 06:17 PM

I've been trying to get the pics on page 1 and 2 for days now and all I get are red xs. Is any one else having the same problem? I can see the recent ones just not the earlier shots. Any one have a suggestion on how I can remedey this? Thanks, Michael

babyblueoval · 12-28-2007, 06:24 PM

Michael,

I'm good but there are about 50 pics on the first page alone.

Maybe your browser is timing out? Maybe a Ctrl/F5 will help or clear your temp files and try again.

Dunno. Might be worth a try.

Frizzle Fry · 12-28-2007, 07:09 PM

babyblueoval · 12-29-2007, 05:39 PM

Let's see, are you the one with the orange sweat shirt and matching hair?

I pictured you looking a bit older than that.

low burb · 12-29-2007, 07:20 PM

Thanks for the link, Mike. I can see clearly, now.....

The name Frizzle Fry puts him at around 30-ish if I had to guess!

67_C-30 · 12-29-2007, 08:04 PM

BAM! I just checked the profile, and I was right! I'm guessing you were jamming to Primus in high school too!

Actually that is a cloned version of me. I duplicated myself for those jobs where you need an extra hand. You know the saying; if you want something done right...

FF, just wondering what you figured out for the rear brake hoses?
