I like it. You were at the KOA very near me. I should have wandered over to check the rig out more thoroughly.

Looks like the top set is from Pritchett. The lower ones could be, but I'm really not sure. I don't remember those particular ledges on Pritchett

haven't hit up prichett yet so thats why i didn't reconize it
Thanks, I am loving it too. Yes, I have a good sized strip of my underwear lost in the seat
Btt for some thanks/props
I saw this thing on Pritchett over EJS. Great driving, and it looks even better than the pics! Worked great, couldn't believe the things it did with an open rear!
Also thanks for offering the help. We ended up having to go back on sunday to retrieve the Cherokee. Drove/towed him out backwards since the front shaft was too ovaled to get a u-joint back in. Wish we would have done that when you first recommended it.

nice DD wheeler
Thanks for the props. We had a good time at rocker knocker with you guys. That XJ worked really well before all the problems. Hope he can get them worked out. It was really good to meet you and thanks again for the props.
PS - will have the rear ARB working soon
Can't wait to see how well she works after that!

Congrats on the feature! How'd Billings treat the S10?
It was a blast. First time on Billings, wont be my last. Truck did great. Now that the rear locker is working, it crawls almost anything I point it at. We ran over to 21 road the next day and it continued to impress me. I cant wait to finish my buggy, but until then, this truck will definitely fill the gap.

did that other S10 sell?
Yes, it sold about 8 weeks ago. Lucky guy in Denver. Chevy mechanic of all people. He loves his chevy's
Have not updated the post in a while. Thought I would share some pics from the summer of wheeling. Truck performed very well and had no issues what so ever. I did add some rear bump stops to protect the rear fender flares. I am in the middle of getting a front pan hard bar fab'd and installed. Drive the truck almost everyday and really enjoy it. Really good dual purpose rig.
Going to Moab for Thanksgiving, will post up some pics soon as I get home.

I like it it looks to handle the the trail very well, hows the center of gravity does it feel tipsy at all?
Its not tippy at all. Fact its very stable and feels great in off camber situations. I think the fact that its rather low, has full width axles, and is an auto makes for a stable vehicle. Also, the leafs front and rear makes for good body control, not a lot of flopping around like a link suspension.

The whole thing looks really good, but I am super impressed by the bumpers! They look really good.
