Winch- Smitty built XRC10

Other- runs on propane. Have a dana 60 sitting in my garage for the front, just need to scrounge up some money to drop into it so it can go under, then possibly will go bigger on the tires 39"-42"

The only reason my truck has some mud on it, was due to some puddles that were on the road at the dirt pit area I was testing the rig out on.

brett you got it running!

i recognize that area, just by your house off baccus isn't it

 

[sixstringsteve]

Congrats. How wide are those wheels and tires?

Yep, that's the area. I got it off the trailer, drove it around an over to where the pictures are taken, over on the back side, an then it overheated while adjusting the idle screw. Guess I need to work on the cooling system some more.

I have no idea, can't remember what they are. The tires are 12.50 I think.

Thanks, this is my 4th s10 based vehicle, the other three were all bagged and laid frame, so this one is a little bit different.

Here is a updated picture with the new tires, also have a dana 60 up front now and hydro assist was just ordered yesterday. Now I need to do a litt trimming and adjust the bump stops.

 

[sixstringsteve]

[skippy]

What hydro assist setup are you using?

 

[N-Smooth]

Looks legit!

sweet, looking great.

Thanks steve, trying to do a steve method with stuffing big tires with minimal lift

What hydro assist setup are you using?

I ordered all my stuff through surplus supply, need to order a cooler now though

Looks legit!

Thanks Nate, hopefully I can cut enough to give me what I need and not have to destroy the body.....at least for right now

got to take the blazer out to moab last week, did everything I wanted it to. Only problem was my driveshaft, broke the welded on shaft off (I didn't give it enough pre-heat and cool down I guess) and then it over extended on another ledge. Was happy with it though, got my doubler set up in, 203/205 and triple stick set up in. Dropping it off tomorrow to get the interior cage work started and hope to pick up another engine in a month or so to double my sorry V8's power.

 

[Kevin B.]

Oh that sorry wimpy V8.

 

[blznnp]

Noises are getting louder by the day from that thing, helps now with the doubler. Shouldn't bog down as bad on Wayne's world now

 

[Sonomanclature]

Ninja pic.

I still think your crazy running those big meats.

 

[blznnp]

Ha, welcome to the board Sean, I think those tires fit the look good, just a little more work to make them tuck without rubbing. Make sure you introduce yourself to the board

 

[spacecase]

nice, she looks awesome bret.

 

[sixstringsteve]

i think it's perfect with those big meats.
