Re: Cannibalizer project diary
Still working on it!
* Finally got all the panels fit up & shimmed.
* Facebook Marketplace score on some Hummer 17" 8 lug wheels & then later found good used tires too. As much as I love my 16.5 slots & TSLs, reality is that I can actually buy tires that I can balance good & roll faster/smooth on these. Very little difference in physical size from 36x14.5x16.5 TSLs to 315/70-17 Firestone Destination MT2.
* Brake system completed - Copper/nickle lines are so much easier to bend & flare! Ended up replacing all the calipers too, even though only about 6 yrs old, they were pretty crusty around the piston from those years of mud & water. Lever lock, just like on Blazer, plumbed for an emergency brake since all that stock emergency brake went away with the rear caliper conversion; and it's super handy when winching someone else out.
