Budget Trail Rig - Part 2 /S10 2wd To SAS 4wd Conversion 

I think i speak for everyone when I say I really enjoy your videos I wish you would put out more but all your videos are amazing keep it up

Bro that was a detailed description. Nice work man - exciting project.

Awesome Kip. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see the final product and hit some trails!

Looks good so far man! Can't wait to see the next video!

Nice job so far! can't wait to see it fished.

I'm building a 4wd Mitsubishi Montero but dropping in a 2wd 4.3 and 4l60e but converting into a 4wd for my rig. I think there's a few things I can get from this whole I'm brainstorming my build. Nice videos my friend

Looking real sweet, Kip!!

Cool project!!! A buddy did a toyota yrs back. 3x6 straight frame rails with a bad ass small block and full size axles lol thing was fun

I'm doing the same thing to my 2003 2wd s10 but with Toyota Dana 44 axels and rear end. Still deciding on what motor to put but thanks for your build

Yes sir, one gear head watching with interest! You've done quite a bit of some fab work on that dude so far. I see some huge fender flares in your future. (ha ha)

when you have a shackle flip in the rear suspension goes up and back those traction bars wont let your suspension to do that its gonna wanna jam.. look up traction bars with a shakle on them so it can allow your suspension to flex more

boy.. i just wanted to see if i could change my 2000 2.2l s10 into 4x4 if i just changed the engine to a 4.3l and throw on a transfer case and voila i would have a 4x4 pickup.. but you went ALL out! lots of work you put into it. i cant do that. great job

those welds are all cold welds grind it out and turn your welder up and reweld if you want it to hold in the trail or road im referring to the ones up front !

Big job, looking good

in the process of a sas high pinion 44 up front with a 3 link setup on a 98 zr2. I definitely subscribed cause I want to see the brake setup conversation

MAKE SURE TO MAKE THE NEXT VID'S AS PART 3 N PART 4 OF YOUR RIG HERE SO WE CAN ALL FOLLOW ALONG... THANKS N AWESOME COOL JOB.......

first thing i would do is scrap those lift blocks. one good hit and your going to spit them out on the trail

hey can post a list of all the drive train components you used including the tubing

Cool stuff. The s10 truck/blazer is under rated off road I think.

What's going to happen to that steering when you flex it out and the driver side drops?

why didnt you do crossover steering and add a track bar?

I'm looking at doing the almost exact same thing do you have a list on the supplies you used or maybe a site you got the information from or something, thx

some guys go with a astro van steering box in the (oem spot) puts the drag link out front then go with cross over setup

What kind of axle you think I can get for my 88 s10 to run some 33x12.50r20 with a 20x12inch rims

nice man! I have not seen you around much! You still making vids?

Guns and trucks. We would get along.

Hey man...I'm starting a project soon..2002 Chevrolet s10...extended cab... Is there a way that i can mount a dual wheel axle on it? Chev made a few..but im not sure how to go about modifying axles...i like the standard bolt pattern..but I'd like to have the rear end dual wheel. Idea's? It's a budget built..like really budget built...it's 2wd with a 4.3L..automatic...I'd love your input!

curious too see not ei have a 01 blazer I could play with you gonna put a v8 in it

SO WHERE'S PART 3 & PART 4 AT U SLOWLY BUILDING ALL THIS UP HERE AWESOME JOB..... CANT WAIT TO SEE THE OTHER PARTS........ WHAT CITY N STATE R U IN THERE... CUS I SEE SOME RUST.....LOL

Could I do this to a astro van 2w.d to a 4x4

Lol those blocks are gunna wrap that axle like ceazy even with those "traction bars" also I think it's funny but he says these are 1-ton axles when a Dana 44 is just a half ton axle

is legal with the tires sticking out that much

looking very good so far Kip! go with 1 ton truck shocks with lift kit!

I built a 2wd to 4wd S10 on Toyota axles few years ago. Have fun cleaning all that 2wd suspension stuff off the front. Nc4x4.com the build thread is called the hornet if your interested. BTW that steering setup won’t work long, axle droop on the drive side will cause issues. I used a Astro van box and crossover steering. I sold the truck a few years ago and ended up buying it back few months back. Cool truck I’ll be following.

whats the update on the s10?!

Are the rear leafs on the factory mounts?!

Please like,share,and subscribe.

I WANT TO MAKE MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE INTO A TWO WHEEL DRIVE HOW DO I DO THAT

Traction bars would be better if they were way beefier and hooked up to the actual axle. Not the top of the leaf. Basically a ladder bar

what are the dimensions of the front cross member?

THIS K 20.... WHAT IS THAT IN GENERAL... IS IT SHORT FOR SOME OTHER CHEVY MADE RIG OR WHAT.....???

man the caster angle is more important than pinion angle

How much to convert $ ?

Use degree shims under the lewd springs to correct your pinion angle. Would've saved you a shitload of work.

You can put the newer Chevy 5.3 ls engines in the S10. That would be sweet.

That steering is sketchy, get rid of that style steering box , go to crossover steering it will save you a lot of headaches

my s10 is a 2wd street rig the 2.2 is almost too much power haha not

..

you are definitely not going to like that Push Pull steering trail riding

Dang man you lost me I just can't do it man you jabber a lot

Get rid of intro music... racket.

All I hear is repeating ughhh

Lol those blocks are gunna wrap that axle like ceazy even with those "traction bars" also I think it's funny but he says these are 1-ton axles when a Dana 44 is just a half ton axle
