Default Soft spot for SAS s10's

yeupp, ive got a soft spot for SAS s10's... i personally would love to one day own a 4door s10 blazer again and toss in a SFA. i just think they look great (2 door or 4 door) and wish i saw the swap more often... i also wish they made 5spd 4x4's in the s10 world... i LOVE my jeep, but i will never lose m first love....
personally think these rigs look beautiful...



\



i always promise myself.. one day i will make one of my own <3 haha
any other fans out there?

Got a 96 zr2 s10 but front carrier broke.... the straight axle swap is pretty easy... did it on a 96 Yukon and a 2002 1500... just run leafs up front and made our own steering... both rigs on tons front and rear. The truck sports 39 projects and the Yukon has 37 km2's

Ya there's a couple kits out there now. I think 4wd factory has a bolt-on kit. Diversified creations has a long arm kit for like $2k. And i beat my s10 zr2 to death on 33s and a t bar crank then got tired of the ifs and baught a jeep lol. i still dd the zr2 though

Built this several years ago. Take a K5 with a rusted out body, a nice S-10 2wd and put them together. It was not a hack job, it looked factory when it was done. Put 2000 miles on it trailering a car back east.

Looks like YJ diffs. As for front springs, it's anyone's guess. It's got me thinking of doing one after my XJ is done. I would take the BDS long arm 4 link upgrade and adapt it to to the S-10.

I started on mine and i had some old waggy springs but its making it sit too high for my liking. i looked into the BDS LA 4 link and it looks like thats the way im going. Thanks for the idea!

Better ride IMO coils vs leaves. Leaves are too bouncy.
