Nice what a difference everything looks great

@maskedmechanicz2086 3 года назад

Thank you! I think its coming along great! Turning a worthless junk into something that is really a cool rig has been a lot of fun

@carmob7499 3 года назад

She is coming along nicely .

@maskedmechanicz2086 3 года назад

Thank you! It's been a fun project and hopefully it will be a lot more fun when its all wrapped up!

Hey man what gear ratio are you running? I believe the 44s I have a 3.07 gear just wondering if I need to change the gears out before I put this all together only thinking on running at most 35in tires

@austinandannah5357 3 года назад

To fix your steering wheel you need to pull the shaft out of Column and gear box and flip it 180 degrees

@maskedmechanicz2086 3 года назад

Thanks for checking it out! I could do a couple different things to mess with the wheel, but I have some other project work going on right now. I'll be bringing back the s10 build again pretty soon to the channel! I have a few issues to iron out now that she's been driving for a bit!

@andrewwilliams482 3 месяца назад

What kind of 4x4 front axle do you have. What did it come off of

@sirjay3001 2 года назад

Nice job! , i wanna do a similar build on my 90 s10

@maskedmechanicz2086 2 года назад

Thanks! It's been fun and I use it alot now. I'll make some more videos on it once I get going again. I took a few months off doing youtube. I haven't had the time to put videos together, but there's a lot of different stuff coming

how much would you say this costs?

@zr2dad5 Год назад

i like it. i would consider doing a spring over setup if i was building one. nicely done though.

@maskedmechanicz2086 Год назад

Thank you. It's far from a show truck. I needed a reliable, straightforward truck that was road drivable but can handle most logging trails and woods driving I do regularly. I'm definitely happy and much cheaper than any side x side that wouldn't be able to do half what this does

@JohnSmith-qj4cf 3 года назад

Great video no Hollywood b.s would that work on a 2wd astro van thks o yes would you have a number for the front steel for springs please

@maskedmechanicz2086 3 года назад

Thank you! I believe an astro would be a very similar build as a s10. Unfortunately I didn't keep the numbers from the springs, but they are lift springs from a wrangler. If I were to do it again I would definitely do wagoneer springs. Mine are just to soft

@TBGaels32 3 года назад

You should put an eliminator kit for the front axle.

@maskedmechanicz2086 3 года назад

For now having to collar engaged permanently is working well. If I snap it then I can grab another assembly for $150. If I was going to compete with it I would for sure but for what I do it's fine. If I upgrade anything right now it will be the rear with hardened axles and a locker

@roachwerks3043 2 года назад

You can run XJ shafts. They have slightly larger u joints too

@joshslackslack8115 2 года назад

I have a sky's off road kit and hoops what all did you need for the swap

@maskedmechanicz2086 2 года назад

Well if u watch the videos I talk about how u have to pick out axles, springs, shocks, driveshafts and figure how hieght you are going and what you will need

@dirtyfxdls7547 2 года назад

I have a 1984 S15 4x4 with a 2.8L im looking to do the same thing I just a got a SBC im dropping in so you know if my stock transmission and Tcase will bolt up to it? Or what transmission and Tcase would need need im going with the same axles setup as you.

@maskedmechanicz2086 2 года назад

No it will not 4.3 1 would bolt up but has weaker clutch packs and burns up quickly from the torque

@rounddumpling5560 Год назад

you have any advise on a 1996 long bed s10 2wd reg cab?

@jimbob9218 3 года назад

Where did you get the bracket that bolts on man ?!?!?

@maskedmechanicz2086 3 года назад

I'm not sure which brackets you are talking about. I used a lot of parts on here. The skys offroad hanger braket didn't line up with the bolt holes. Plus I ended up spacing it off the frame with a piece of 2x4 tubing. So long story short it ended up being all welded

@martinneps9387 Год назад

What size skyjacker shocks did you use and what year did you end up getting? Please comment back it is that your main lyft or did you do body too

@RudgerBrewer Год назад

What front axle did you use?

@ShiftersAndLifters 3 года назад

So both axles are from a Jeep?

@maskedmechanicz2086 3 года назад

Yes I used a matching set from a 95 yj with factory 411 gears. I will probably upgrade the dana 35 in the spring if it holds up that is lol. It should be alright

@ShiftersAndLifters 3 года назад

@@maskedmechanicz2086 Very cool! I have an 85 s10 4x4 myself. I’ll definitely keep up with your build and maybe one day tackle mine in a similar fashion.

@maskedmechanicz2086 3 года назад

For sure man. It worked out great. The jeep axles are so cheap and available. As for wheels these old explorer mountaineer wheels are super cheap and I liked the offset on them too.

@jimbob9218 3 года назад

I got a 1979 k5 running gear I am putting it in my 1989 s10

@jimbob9218 3 года назад

Where did you get the bracket man need it tomorrow
