Not everyone lives in rural areas and want to play in the mud all of the time and I've always wondered why people don't do this. This is a great daily driver in urban or suburban environments. Now, I wouldn't be rally racing it.

The smart thing to do is NOT swap the diff... use the 4wd lock-in, and if you are making so much power to the front that you start blowing up shaft couplers then get a custom solid passenger side output shaft for the original diff housing.... could easily be that the passenger side shaft from the SS diff drops right in, I'd bet a case of beer that it does.

I absolutely LOVE this. I wouldve made a few styling changes for look, but the concept is one of the freshest, unique, and just cool vehicles ive seen in quite some time.

I’m a Ford guy since I was a hid, but this build I love and it make me want to look into finding a F150 92-96 4x4 and see about doing a similar build like you performed on this Chevy Short box 4x4. I love the show and the ideas and tips are endless. Thanks Power Nation

Love this series. Something I always wanted to do but could not find to do for an AWD set up. Now definitely going to have to get started :)

I'm a sucker for an obs. First truck my father and I did a complete nut & bolt rebuild on. Swear i can fix anything on it blindfolded in the dark if i had to. Hands down one of my favorite builds ever and i'm counting all the way back to TNN, Spike & Stacy David days.

Just bought an ‘05 4WD Regular cab with rear locker option for $500. It’s the perfect mule to do this conversion. And I am currently awaiting the arrival of the NV149 T-case.

I really just watched that whole video 😂, good content though

I love these full videos. Keep them up. I will keep watching and liking. 😎

My first truck was Syclone #879 back in 1997. Bought it from the original owner. Biggest regret was selling it 20 years ago. I did track it down and found out it took a trip from NJ down to the Virgin Islands. Asked the owner to contact me if he ever decides to sell it

Thank you so much - 8-12 min videos only show you really before and after not all the crap ya gotta go through. Putting my 1992 SWB in the weeds too AND ITS A V6 as well

this was actually an inspiration!!! My dad has 2 fake hips and has a really hard time getting in and out of his vehicles... I think this something that could make his life soooo much better!!! Thanks guys

By the end of this series I've come to like and respect the build. It turned out to be a solid idea and execution. Good job. Thanks for many "out-side the box" ideas.

I'm not big into trucks but man I could watch these videos all day.

I did that on my 20's but I swapped the 350 for a Mexican 400ss engine. TransGo the transmission. Upgraded the servo piston for a corvette piston. And had it rolling on 245/50r15 bfgoodrich radial T/A Fire on the hands. Plates from JALISCO MEXICO.

Manual NV3500 that GM and dodge used in there trucks was not built for power. They were only rated to handle 300 hp barely. They also can't handle abuse either. Though the chevy T56 is a better trans for this situation or go with a older 4 speed Muncie prior to 88. Other option would be a ford with chevy conversion. Good luck.....

The back had a 3cup coffee maker, small microwave, small apt refrigerator, a Panasonic scanner/printer for my laptop in the sudo tailgate office with fold out table and camp chair. Mine was also lowered but only about 3 inch because I had 22 inch wheels. It had full running boards, factory roof rack, spare tire mounted on rear pass door.

The auto locking front diff is similar to my old Toyota Surf, deleted that vacuum operated Auto diff disconect, (ADD) by removing the actuator and sliding the dog across so it was locked full time and putting a hose clamp on the shaft so it couldn't slide back unlocking the diff,, then simply taking off the outer hub cap and installing free wheeling hubs,,,,, you have to do this mod to fit any sort diff locker,, in my case i installed a Auto locker,,, from Lokka(that is the companys name. LOKKA) here in Australia,, totally transformed the 4wd into a beast, no tracks it couldn't drive thx for the vids mate .. great content

My first car was a 95 silverado. And wish still had it. Thing was timeless.

This build is awesome but with a D1 LT1 or LT4 with an 8 or 10 speed auto would kick ass. I'm glad to see them doing better builds that don't seem to be built to the sponsors spec as bad anymore.

I'm 65 and have seen some reds. My brother had a fire engine red 68 Super Bee. The red little Subaru Baja I have now is the nicest I have ever see. It's called Garnet Red Pearl. It's outstanding and you should get a sample. It has a slight metal flake in it that jumps out at you. Red Subarus are very rare. Mine was a special order and may be a one of one. Oh original 58,000 miles. It handles like it's on rails.
