I sit here every day and drool over the mods that all of you have made! BT (before twins) I would have been right with all of you. But with two 14 yr old girls and the fact that the state of WV doesn't like to give their slaves raises, I don't have any spare coins for frills. But at least I can appreciate all the hard work that all of you have done.

Looking at the list of mods makes you realize how much time,effort and green go into our rigs. Every truck on the site has an I want that factor that keeps us spending. All variations on a theme but all so individual, it's like a vehicle fingerprint of who we are and how we use our trucks.

Yea! The American tradition of personal customizing!

I certainly like them all and the personalities behind each and every one

The ultimate trail/DD Crew has got to be Paul's.

.

That last pic looks like a lotta battle damage or is it the mud making it appear that way? Looks like even a rear flare has fled and gone to the wind.

Posted: **Sat Nov 25, 2006 6:20 am**

It does look like some tree damage on that LR fender in his readers ride photo.

04crewvt, your post says 3.73 open differential. Is that really true? I didn't think anyone would special order the gears without the G80. I know that the "G80 package" included the 3.73 gears.

You don't have the RPO G80 on your glove box?

That page is really becoming a great resource!

And right before that comes the little ones well being.

You have your priorities straight!

That truck will go and do plenty just as it is. You have already proof of that.

I like the Readers Rides page.

Lots of great photo's and information. WVHogRider, I like the wheels on your truck, are they polished? Do you have any close up pic's of them or a link to a site where I can see them? I have shopped for wheels around here and none of the dealers seam to know what fits our trucks. I am always asked what wheel I like then told " No Those Won't Fit ". So I am left to the books picking wheels that won't work until I get discouraged and give up.

Yes, these are polished aluminum. And I got the same response from every dealer around here that you got.

You can go to http://www.centerlinewheels.com/wheel_deals_list.php and look

. The page I just listed is already detailed for the S-10 truck. You can special order the rim size and backspacing you want. They will even ask you exactly which vehicle you plan on putting the rims onto before making or selling you the rims. As for pics., I can take any pictures you would like to see.

However, I just posted one http://www.s-10crewcab.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5227 in the tires/lift/suspension forum for Purduecrew.

Hey there doughboy5499 (Denny). That is a nice looking truck.
Glad the tires got to you ok, I can see I got the stickers on there real good.

The tires look good on your truck hope they work out well for you.

Just depends on how the light hits it.

I did just wax and wash it spotless. It lasted almost a week, but a buddy pulled my leg to do some wheeling and make some new trails. Was a fun mix of swamp, hill climb'n, and got a chance to make sure my winch is functional to boot.

What I am still enjoying is being able to keep on driving it the day after and everything is still aligned correctly and drives straight.

Posted: **Mon Nov 27, 2006 7:20 pm**

Paul, your price that you originally paid may have shocked a few of us at the time but, looking back (for me) and performing a little research into the SFAs, I would have to say it was money well spent. It is truly the most impressive of SFAed CC that I am aware of.

I could'nt get all the sticker off. I figured I would drive a few miles and it would wear off. Thanks again.

Just as f9k9 said. I'll be the first to say I'm a 30 something computer moron. However, I'll blame most of my computer incompetence on the ex-wife....due to not letting me use "her computer" when we were married---b**ching when I tried to get on "her computer", and the "not spending time with her/our daughter" comments when I got SOME free time...

Anyway...Let us know what you've done & bigger pic..

Well I do but just added a Cervini ram air hood last week and need take new pics. But i don't know how to post to my page, and don't tell me to read the sticky, I still don't know how to do it. Might need some help to get it done.

Thanks guys! My neighbors make fun of me because I wash and wax it too often! I will take a new picture this spring b/c I have removed the S10 and Chevrolet lettering on it and I painted the front bow-tie black.

A cowl (or maybe ram air?) hood is definitely in my truck's future. I'm finally getting back on my feet since I just starting working again. Once I pay off a few debts, I will be modding once again!

what size tires are those?? I want a 31" when i get done lifting........

what's the widdest you can go on the stock 7" ZR5 wheel??

Posted: **Wed Jun 16, 2010 9:23 pm**

If you're referring to my rig, they're 33x9.5 R15. I believe the widest you can go is 10.5. The 10.5 BFG's do look cooler than the 9.5's, but HJ has a whole list of reasons why the 9.5 is better.

Look up the "Marvelous Mystery Lift."

Posted: **Sat Sep 18, 2010 10:46 pm**

If you don't mind me asking Michaelhrgn, How much did it cost you to lift your truck like that?

Posted: **Mon Sep 20, 2010 5:47 pm**

i have about 400-500 bucks in to it not including tires

Posted: **Mon Sep 20, 2010 8:19 pm**

Did you make most of the suspension your self. how did you do all that for just 400-500 bucks.

They are no longer produced. I had a spare new set for my truck which is gone now.

Check out the rest of the trucks with the MML (Marvelous Mystery Lift ) for other examples.

There should be a thread about it here somewhere. I'm pretty sure that they were discontinued. Seems like it cost right around $100 new.
