I got me some sunfire seats for the nomawoot and now I can't get the seat belt bolt out on the passenger side? i broke 4 T50 bits with no luck. I’m trying to drill it now but the bits can't seem to cut all the way through, i used a cobalt sears bit the first time and i was able to drill a small hole half way through but the bigger 5/16 is not cutting at all. I crawled under the truck and cut some off with a cutting wheel but its still holding tight :hammerhead:
I bought a titanium bit today and some special oil to see if that works!!! Anyone have any other ideas..just in case? Hopefully the seats will easier to put in

[Big Werm]

What you need seatbelts for anyway?:what:

[DragDatZU]

i always just use a fresh sharp bit and some wd-40 when i drill through steel

[nvr2low]

here lemme just get my trusty plasma cutter...

ha ha... I wish...

[low_taco]

dude you dont have any cutting tools. ill take a look sunday.... if i can get my tk back together in time. u try using a hacksaw or something? im sure i could talk to one of my friends and get it torched off. sound good?:gotNos

[Lucky]

here lemme just get my trusty plasma cutter...

ha ha... I wish...
Well if your gonna go that route then cut out the whole floor while were at it:dolphinnaughty:

[ocyberbum]

well i got them done saturday!!:angel:

[nvr2low]

those dont look that bad... and the color fits...

[ocyberbum]

Alright just in case some didn't know, i blew a bag monday in the truck coming back form VaBeach, Hit a monster pot hole, or something during rush hour traffic. It was the passenger front bag and i was able to air out the driver side rear bag and air up all the others. It seem to help but i ended having to drive back airing up the front ever 2 seconds until i got home. Went ahead and ordered 2 Slams (7inch) been wanting to fix a leak i had around the fitting anyway...just sucks they don't have fix a flat for bags:grinning: I often wonder with 3 good bags you couldn't put an airshock on and make it home. It would only take me a few minutes to get to my shock where its mounted

i just put cavi seats in mine. those torx botls would not budge so i cut the head off just so i could get the seat out. used the other 3 seat bolts to hold it in. after all that i found that hole to be the best for the seat belts to bolt in. so now i gotta drill it out. for now they are in with self tapping screws to the seat tracks. whats the best bit to drill that out with?

[greg larkins]

yea, it's almost like GM didn't want us to remove the seatbelts... how strange.:grinning:

whenever you drill through steel, you want to do it at a low speed. aluminum = high speed.

I still don’t have my bags in yet, apparently everything i order from Suicidedoors has to have at least one item on back order. They even back ordered my loctite 545, i hope its worth the wait to use it.. Anyone else use it?


:dothedew:

:dothedew:

i used that on my front bags... that one cornere still leaks... but is was doing that before.

[ocyberbum]

well i have done some more stuff to the truck in the last few months, I went ahead and sold out and bought some low profile tires last December so i could put another fan box in to have some heat and defrost. The nice thing was with the fenders cut out i didn't need to take the fender off to do the job, hopefully the next time i do it i will have a custom fan boxWhistling After i did that i noticed that i couldn't switch between floor, vent, defrost etc and after doing some research i traced it back to a vacuum line that was disconnected when the fender was cut and the vacuum ball was removed. The A/C had almost no R134 so i recharged it and everything was working until this weekend. Sunday night i had no heat again and after Bill and I started checking the hoses we noticed that the right hose coming out of the heater core was not hot and the temp of the truck was normal. I did a reverse flush and disconnected the hoses from the block, water pump, heater core and ran water through them all until they were clear. I noticed some junk in the heater core line and after connecting everything up I filled it up with 50/50 Anti Freeze then started the truck, let it run then topped it off and everything was working again. Ok, now the question is that ever since i got the truck back i can not keep the radiator full, at first i though it was the fact that the over flow was removed but i put another one in a few months ago. I tried to flush it when i got it back but with out the fan box i really couldn't do it right until now. This time i did it right and now its still doing the same thing. One thing i noticed is it only took 3/4 of a gallon of Anti freeze to fill it after the flush when its supposed to take one plus according to AutoZone. There are no leaks on the ground and the oil is good so im wondering if this problem is air in the system or possible head gasket?:what:

[Big Werm]

How's your heater core? Very well could be head gasket. Sure you don't want to hear that though.

[ocyberbum]

yea thats what im afraid of, i guess the next day its nice i will air up the truck and look at the exhaust and see if i can find something..

[tanked]

looks pretty good bro i likes alot:plusone:

[ocyberbum]

update:

I've been adding some more radiator fluid here and there and now i only have to add a little bit to top it off so im hoping it was air in the system:what:

[ocyberbum]

Working on my Truck pc setup, im taking the easy way out and using a factory center console and im going to try and mount the pc where the 3rd seat is:what:

just wondering....how old are you?

[Loki_S10]

What Kind of computer is that? Is it an actual automotive computer or are you just going to run an inverter?

[ocyberbum]

damn, sorry about slacking off on posting but im close to buying a house and my work is killing me but here the specs:

Morex 3688 Blue Case with 60W power supply
Intel G201GLY2 with 1.2ghz Celeron 220 (Conroe Based)
Slim-line Samsung DVD-CDRW Burner
2.5" 80gb Western Digital SATA 150 Hard Drive
CPU Heatsink Fan from VIA board to fit into super slim case.
4 USB Portsits a older case but i think it will work for what i need. I should be able to buy a module to convert it to 12v but im not going to do it because i already have the converter and ac plug for it, i might do it later since the module should let me hook up a remote turn on but right now im poor as hell

red06 i have some pics up in vbgarage if you want to see a few pics
http://www.vacustoms.com/forums/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=921 or 99sonoma.com either way will get you some pics of the hoopty:grinning:

[ocyberbum]

been a minute since i've been on here but im still trying to close on my house and get another engine in my other mustang so i will have something to drive from NC to VA everyday..Had some problems finding a bank to lend me the money, there really cracking down on lending money and NC seems to do things a little different than VA but i found out if you throw some cash around it seems to get the job done.:grinning:

here are some pics of the house and part of the 10.3 acres of land, tried to use red dots to mark it

[Big Werm]

We only want to see the garage Billy!

[Loki_S10]

Your red dots only confused me... But Hey congratulations on the new house, and the big ass hunk of land! The lot my house is on is so small that by back and front yards are smaller than my one car garage... oh well... less to mow!

[ocyberbum]

No garage... was the one thing it didn't have but i hope to have the funds to build one and have it big enough to put my RV and other rides in since i have plenty of space :angel:


I'm not looking forward to cutting the grass at all, im hopping to get by with a regular lawn mower awhile eventhough the previous owner used a push mower

[nickf829]

congrats, keep 2 acres, sell the other 8... now your garage and some of that mortgage are paid for hah

[nvr2low]

congrats man... ill buy some land.. ha ha... and build a garage

[ocyberbum]

being so far away and gas being so expensive i would have to build a really big garage to get someone to stop by:grinning:

[Big Werm]

[Loki_S10]

I like the new Grill on your truck... It looks strangely familiar...:what:

[ocyberbum]

I like the new Grill on your truck... It looks strangely familiar...:what:

yea i had it for awhile and i finally got up with mike to get it put on, I think it looks better than the billet one i had,,i hope i can now find some time between moving and fixing up the house to get a bumper

[Loki_S10]

Yeah I think it looks great... but then again I might be a little biased. :grinning:

[ocyberbum]

Yeah I think it looks great... but then again I might be a little biased. :grinning:

:lol: true but on average you don't see as many around here, which is nice!!

[ocyberbum]

Even though im broke... i did manage to pick up something for the noma and i will finally be able to get rid of of my old Bumper with the gap in it for the envoy bumper, :danceoyea:.... now if i can just find the envoy head lights cheap

[Loki_S10]

Awesome man! Where did you end up finding the envoy bumрer?

[ocyberbum]

believe it or not the s10 forum, got lucky since no one else had come up with the money yet to buy it

[ocyberbum]

i was able to get some envoy headlights for my truck so hopefully i can get my lights and bumper on soon :danceoyea:

[ocyberbum]

Well its been awhile but i have manged to get some things done to the truck, I have the Envoy lights mounted and im working on upgrading the wires. Since i had a s10 metal bumper reinforcement i had to order another sonoma reinforcement bumper before i can mount the envoy bumper

[97low]

why not just get a envoy bumper

[ocyberbum]

why not just get a envoy bumper

Im going to that next but i had to have the original metal bumper under it to mount it to

[ocyberbum]

well i got my bumper on, besides saving up for a set of HID ballast and aligning the lights... it almost done, not sure what grille to get for the bumper though....:noidea:

[nvr2low]

well that looks... interesting... changes the whole front end look completely... i think i likey...

what type of lights do you use on the truck 9007, H4?

[Loki_S10]

I love it man. Pure awesome!

[ocyberbum]

thanks loki, i've been working on this for awhile and i cant wait to get everything, just sucks being broke!!!.
Steve it uses the D1S bulbs and since the ballast are probably bad im looking to get a kit with everything for 240.00 :HitwBricks:, the kit will be a direct replacement and with the DOT housings, i dont think the police/inspections people will hassel me to much..i hope :grinning:

[lowbody2]

man that looks a lot better than the extreme bumper. pretty shiney too.

[ocyberbum]

man that looks a lot better than the extreme bumper. pretty shiney too.

no argument here, anything looks better than that extreme, now if i could only get the whole truck shiny :grinning:

[incudose]

Hey I have a used Zero-turn Husq mower that will help cut that grass easy. Will go 9mph. 48in cut for 2000+tax.

[ocyberbum]

if i had the money i would buy me a mower like that because my pops mower is not happy about cutting it all!! :(

[ocyberbum]

I was talking to a friend of mine about my air bag light and he said that since i changed the seats i may have to get my air bag system upgraded since there different. Does this sound right and where could i get it done. I've tried putting the old seats back in but that doesn't do anything :what:

[ocyberbum]

Its been along... time since i have done anything big to the truck but i did get a set of Cal-vu mirrors and installed a replacement mirror with a built in monitor to use as a back up camera, Right now i have another small camera that im thinking of putting underneath it somewhere for a drag cam or a dont drag the gas tank cam!!!

[2002FlamedS-10]

looks awesome........... how much was that mirror? BTW........... clean your garage! lol

[nvr2low]

Nice Billy... I think you should have put a 12 inch flip down with rear view camera.. ha ha ha... and yeah clean your garage...

[ocyberbum]

just got this shaved fan box from a guy on the s10 forum:danceoyea:, I haven't installed it yet but it looks like it will let me put my 245/40/zr18 tires back on the front!!! I think it was worth 50 bucks!!.. Now i need to find someone to finally weld me on a new sway bar!!!!

[2002FlamedS-10]

I hate you! I need one of those!

[Loki_S10]

What exactly do you need welded?
