2001 Chevy S10 Solid Axle Swap with 1-Tons on 40" Nitto Mud Grapplers | Inside Line 

Sick build, Ali. I dig it and you and Kelly keep turning out some wild rigs. Haters are just mad their S10 is still sitting on cinder blocks in their front lawn.

What an absolute unit !!! So sick

I’ve seen this truck on so many google searches, great to finally see it on RU-vid!

Awesome build! Having something like this for “fun” and the Maverick you have as a “daily” would be a sweet set up for anyone.

I’ve always liked this platform. I have a ‘99 Blazer that at some point will get a 6” lift, tires and few off road accessories. A toy to trail, mud and snow play. Love what you’ve done with this one.

The right chip or tune and that 4.3 will feel like a v8

Ali that S10 looks like a life size RC toy truck, I love the trimmed wheel wells and how the front door and rear of cab are parts of the wheel wells, very well executed!

Killer build man.

Crazy that a vehicle with an OD trans a 4spd case has a (relatively) short front driveshaft. Really highlights the super-forward drivetrain position.

That thing is awesome!

I liked your Ranger build for it's simplicity and budget mindedness. The rebuild was even better. I loved watching this build even more. This thing has an awesome look to it

Awesome Build!

You can easily bump up 40 more HP out of the 4.3L with an easy cam swap. Easy performance mods can make a huge difference in the drive ability . If you remove the restriction plate from throttle body butterfly, and have TB ported to a 75mm straight thru it will pickup a few ponies. And removing the mechanical fan clutch and converting to electric fans will greatly free up performance. Get an HP tuner module and dial in the EFI tune and ign adv. To really wake up the stock power plant. I has an 04 crewcab zr5 s10 also planning building it for 38" tires, I just Love the crewcab models because they are more rare than the regular and extended cab models.

Low range is a group of cool guys

Very cool build!

What a great build! Knowing what I know now, your build makes me wish I'd saved my Dad's S15 Jimmy. If I ever find it, I'll be contacting you lol. Love your builds. Keep the content coming!

Cool s10 truck I'm from Four oaks NC I'm in the process of building a 91 S10 regular cad long bed 4x4

Very nice build. I remember this coming out in 4Wheeler when I was in the middle of my build. I have an '04 S10 Crew that has been built very similar. I also have a late model 14B rear (5.13s and ARB) but went with an early Ford King Pin D60 "Sno Fighter" (5.13 and ARB). I needed to use the Sno Fighter because I am running leaves front and rear and needed the additional pumpkin offset of the Sno Fighter for the narrower front leaf mounts. I went with an L79 6.0L out of a '14 Isuzu NPR (same engine in the 2500/3500). That mates to a 4L60E and also an Atlas 4 speed (2.72:1 crawler and 2:1 case). I have a PSC box and pump with a 1.75" dia x 8" stroke ram for steering. I moved the rear axle back 6" by maintaining the front spring mount but using FS Chevy 63" leaves. Since these were 12" longer than the stock S10, it effectively moved the rear axle back by 6". To accommodate the axle move, I cut the rear wheel well in half, moved it back 12" and welded in 12" of sheet metal to fill that gap. I'm very happy with how it turned out. I still have a nice usable box and the best departure angle I can get with leaves. I also am running 40s (Milestar Patagonia MTs) and can attest to the front sheet metal clearance challenges. I'd love to chat with you about yours.

I thought I remembered that truck from the magazine days but must’ve confused it with another build. Great setup and would be interesting video to compare it to your gladiator on 40’s.

Thanks for the video, really cool S10, I really like your second rendition of the Ranger, looking at doing one just like that on 37's with a Cummins R2.8, is there a build story on the Ranger somewhere?

I absolutely love the build. I am currently building a 92 single cab standard bed with a similar setup. Still debating on leaf springs or coils tho. The price difference is the hard part to factor in.

Nice truck! Pretty sure I've seen you in Uwharrie or maybe on the beach near Freeman Park. Now I want another s10

Would you ever consider selling this truck to a fellow North Carolinian? I promise, it will be put to good use. Certainly would do the V/8 swap. Very cool truck! 👌

This makes me want to do my 4wd 4dr S10🔥 this or overland it

I just bought a 2001 S-10 in white. Aftermarket rims, tires, and I believe suspension. Could use a bit of a lift cause the wheels are too big for the wheel well. I’m experiencing an issue with the vacuum actuator according to forums though. The car makes a roaring sound occasionally when decelerating or switching to 4wd. Have you experienced this at all??

How does steering work? Doesn’t a tj have a rearward facing pitman arm?

You had me at Grandma had one… please say hi toKelly next time you see him.

could you please share the model of the steering box ?

What year suburban master brake cylinder? In low range, I'm having issues with driving through my brake pedal on my s10.

price for the stock crew cab zr2 / zr5 S-10 RIG......YEA WE ALL KNOW THE SMALL WINDOW OF TIME THESE WERE ALL MADE IN....... SO HOW MUCH DID ALL THE WORK COST YA & DID THE SHOPS U MENTIONED IN HERE ALL DO THE WORK'S...... DID U DO ANY TO SAVE MONEY OR TIME OR NO...... WHAT DID ALL THAT COST PART'S WISE & FABBING TIME & SETTING IT ALL UP GOING ON WHAT ROUGHLY 2 GREAT YRS., ON IT SO FAR & STILL ROLLING & CRAWLING AS WELL........... & OHHH YEA & HOW LONG IN TIME TOOOOOOOOOOO..........???????

Sounds like u didn't even really use the lj lift kit

Sounds like about 50k in work and parts lol

So you had someone else build it for you…
