i bought a 93 hardbody SEV6 4x4 with 180k. california truck and over all its clean. no oil leaks and runs great. just have a few problems...


first problem is the exhaust leak but that will be fixed this week. it leaks from the manifold like they all do.hehe

another problem i have is the heat that comes through the shift boot and basicly the shifter. does any one else have that problem? and what are some solutions?

well heres a pik i took before i bought it.


i recently painted my wheels black and looks better..

well i hope i can learn some stuff from you guys

replace the boot. I notice some heat from the shifter boot but nothing noticeable.

there should be a rubber shield,metal,boot, then the retainer(metal)

its actually not lifted. it has after market upper control arms in the front frobly gives it 1.5 inches and aftermarket shackles in the back. thats all.

aftermarket control arms give no lift, cranking up the t-bars does.

very nice looking Hardbody!

how would it give any lift if the t-bars are connected to the lower control arms?

The LCA could be made differently than stock...incorporating a dirrerent plane...meaning they could be arched to compensate for a lifted vehicle....does this make sense???? Later...

yes the upper control arm can give it a bit of a lift. like 1 inch. because it its has a steeper angle than stock just slightly enough to notice
