It wouldn't pass inspection at all. I looked at it and it is not even close to pass. The tires are out too far and the lift is too big for a s-10. max lift is 6" suspension and 3" body and 5" bigger tires

I installed a BDS steering stabilizer. It was easy. You do need a special kit to mount the shock to the steering arm. I did help my truck since I have 31" BFG

I have the Manik grill guard on my truck and it has a 2" body lift. To mount it I had to make custom brackets to mount the bar to the brackets they supplied and then I mounted it to the top bumper bolts. It doesn't move at all.

The MDS ignition install was very easy. What helped was the 2" body lift that gave me the room to install it on the firewall above the coil. For putting on 500 miles on my truck this weekend I noticed a big difference. There is a MUCH better throttle response and it ran alot smoother at all rpm's. T...

I braced the brushguard this last night and it worked get. It doesn't move at all. All I did is run a piece of aluminum from the bumper mount to the bottom bar. The hard part is bending the aluminum to match up.



It is pretty tight so I can't take any pictures.

Thanks guys for you help. I will wire them in this weekend and I will mount the top part of the bar where the lights are to the top bumper bolts. That should hold it. Also I am finally going to try to move the nerf bars up this weekend. This is going to be a long weekend. I should have pictures soon.

My truck sounds almost like a full size does. It has a deep tone to it. I think it sounds great. I had it on my 96 S-10 ZR2 and it got even deep and better at 30000 miles or so. My exhaust is stock other then the muffler and exhaust tip.

I don't have any pictures yet but in the future I will get some. The flowmaster exhaust is great. I wouldn't get anything else. It is in the stock location. Just cut out the old muffler and put that one in. Costed me $100.

I put that into the groove where the crossbars slide in, right in the front of the rack. Then I put screwed each end to the rack and then slide the crossbar right be...

I have the PIAA super white bulbs for my low beams and I have APC super white fog lights. I get flashed every so often but I fixed that by just turning down the littles a little.
