You muddy butts did a lot of good work on that S10. I don't see a lot of four-door ones anymore. Looks nice. I may have to watch more of your videos. Daryl

It's crazy how fast you put this together. Great job.

So sorry you didn’t make it, but as you say the money saved will get used in the build so not all is lost. Everything you’ve done has been spot on will be great to see it out wheeling. 😎👍🏽

Sorry you weren’t able to get the S-10 done in time, now you can still finish it, and give it a proper shake down. Always next year. ✌🏻

Yup, lots of other opportunities. Always Good to have a proper shake down.

Awesome bro. I have 22s on 34.5 nitto on 3" body lift . No torsion keys. 2"Rear shackles Still rubbing need to cut more like you did. Tnx keep up d vids

Bummer I was looking for your truck in Moab Saturday and all the way home on the highway. Deadlines are alway great motivation. Keep up the hard work , hope to see you on the trails

Great job. Sometimes you fall short of your goals, but that just means your tried and learned how to do it better next time. Love the overland build with something that is not like $40,000. Thanks for making great affordable content.

You were so close! You'll get it, man! I was in the same spot with my rig last year. Almost done. I hope to see you out on the trails with my Solid Axle Swapped Hummer H3 on 37s.

All my vehicles are built with mostly junkyard parts. I only buy new stuff as needed and I buy oem so I can find replacement parts easy

you could make a coil retainer on the axle side and a locator cone or even just a tube it rides over that lets the coil unseat at full droop

Was about to say the same thing. Very common in the Rover world. On mine I actually use a secondary small spring as my upper retainer that lets the main spring pull away from the pocket then pulls it back into place. Sorta hard to describe but works well enough.

Sucks you missed your goal. Did you go tag along with anyone? Looking awesome. Me being a yj guy. Links are cool, but the s10 has a pretty arched rear leafs and are spring under. Might have been easier to just do an axle flip and gain the 6 inches and link it later. But im hard core leafs of the poors 😂

outstanding!

I used jt springs for my liberty sas

My Metric-ton Comanche has a Dana 44 rear and a Dana 30 front. Would like a wagoneer front Dana 44 but will likely settle in the 30 with Spartans front and rear. Most my driving is off road. Dandahermit.

torque seal and loctite everything. saves so much headache

Been 2 weeks so you must be building a doubler for it.haha

Great videos Kelly! Loving this build, hope to one day do something like this myself. I wanna start learning to weld with flux core.

So far looks great.. I'd like to mount 33s to 36s on my Comanche without a tall lift?? I live up a trail similar to yours in the mountains. Just wand ground clearance and traction to come n go. Straight utility. I have a Toyota monster but don't want to depart from the OEM body. It's a collector 87metric-ton. Dandahermit

Ps I'm old ( 80)and on so sec so low budget. Dandahermit

I know it’s little and prolly sounds dumb but it’s odd to me to see it with a ford bolt pattern instead of the infamous Chevy 6x5.5

Alot of good info here WOW! BTW sorry you didn't make it to EJS weekend! 👎

Just wondering what is the lift height on this truck? 6inch? I’m planning to do a SAS on my 2001 sonoma but leaf spring suspension. Great job by the way awesome video once again

Thanks, I can’t really say the lift height, but the frame is 23” from the ground. It currently has 6” Jeep Tj springs in the front and stock Jeep gladiator springs in the back.

Man how much to do mine

I see rub marks on your inner fender... is the wheel/tire going to clear those shocks?😮

@MuddyBeards4X4

Жыл бұрын

That was from the stock setup. These axles are way wider than stock, and don’t come anywhere near the shocks or frame.

I'm going to be starting this on a 2000 Jimmy, whats your overall height?? I'm a disabled Veteran and can't climb very high (I think I'm gong to be building a step into my rock slider)
