S-10CREWCAB.NET

Well hello s-10crewcab.net lonnnnnng time since i was on here.

I was searching the dusty corners of the internet looking for some old pics of my crew and got a link here. and wow my user name still works and everything. holy crap.
Hows everyone doing? HenryJ you still have that crew? If anyone still has one its you
I sold mine years ago. not sure when but its been awhile thats for sure. I have a 2008 crew cab canyon now and love it. I consider it a big upgrade on the s-10. I loved the s-10 but I like this truck too. Wish I still had my old crew though the thing was a beast. anyway just thought i would say hey and see how many of you actually hit this site up still and how active it is. Im sure alot of people have moved on since they were discountinued.

Glad to see you are still checking up on us! I do still have my truck. The site is not as active as it was in the beginning, but it is still active enough to stay alive.

Sounds like the new truck is a keeper. Those look like a good way to go.

Are you still doing plates?

You might see me in your neck of the woods next year. We are planning a trip up north.

Flares????????

Thats too bad its getting slower. But as long as there is a few its worth keeping up. I actually havent seen any crews around here lately in awhile. Its pretty wierd they are getting scarce
The canyons, colorados are great trucks. and because its a chev, I still think its just the next gen s-10
I do still make the plates, but mostly for the Colorado/ Canyon platform only. After s-10 sites started to die and have less activity I saw it was the way to go.
Where abouts are heading next year?
I knew someone would ask me about flares, lol
I havent contacted the plastic company since the last sets I made a few years ago. Im not even sure If my tooling is still available or been tossed. Its something I could look into if enough crews were interested. It just comes down to if they have my molds still. I noticed a few threads when searching through here about cracking. Thats not good at all! Especially considering the material suuplier told me that material would be the best for the application I told them I was using it for! Hopefully none have gone on you guys. Ill drop an email and see what i can dig up on my molds.

From Washington I will be taking the ferry to Vancouver Island. We will travel up the island and take another ferry over to the mainland from the northern portion. I'll be in my truck pulling an offroad trailer.

The cracking thing kind of came and went. Mine are still cracked. I keep waiting for them to get worse, but it has not happened. Almost a let down that they did not fall apart I do think that they are much better than I expected them to be after the cracking. I am still sitting on the replacements. They will probably get installed when I liner the rockers.

I can not say thank you enough for what you did.

Make sure your email is good. I would like to keep in touch. If you are available on our trip , I'd stop by and shake your hand. There is a thread started in the activities section. You might have some good ideas for us too?

There are still a few looking for shields now and then. If you are still able to make them we will sure send them your way.

If those molds are still out there and you need a safe home for them, I'd love to store them in my garage. I might be able to get some flares pulled down here somewhere.

Awsome trip for sure! I will be around so for sure. My email is still badasscrewcab@hotmail.com or Justin@fab-all.com ( work )
Interesting. I will actually send and inquiry to the plastics supplier just to see what they say. Im wondering if it was a heat and timing process. Perhaps the first sets were left on the mold to long or something. I will look into it for the sake of it though. Thanks for the kind words, it was awsome. Its to bad there arent more people interested in these trucks cause those flares really do make the truck look awsome, and serve a function for us guys who are never happy with tire size
I will check out the activities section for sure. For the island, there is actually a few trails that I here about from friends, but never got a chance to run any of them when i have been over there.
I can still make them so If someone is looking for them I would be happy to try and help. In terms of the molds, I just sent out an email to see if they are still around. Im hoping they are because they were about 5000$ to make :S Once the busniess died, I just kinda moved on from that part and took on other projects and forgot about them. Im hoping they are around! ill keep you posted. Im sure they could be used at any vacuum plastics forming company im sure they all use the same types of processes.

See if they would be interested in pulling a few sets of flares if the molds are still serviceable. We might be able to round up that many people.

I'll send some shield people your way if they come looking.

Take some time off for camping and meet us up there next summer if you can. Drinks around the campfire are on me

Extra flares?! I like it.

what shield you talking about

Justin builds them all. Complete under carriage shielding.

Great hearing from you Justin. Stay safe, Bro!!!!!!

i need oil pan gard and front skid plate. and maby more depending on price. so let me know once you here from them and we can talk about it

Justin,
If, you have time, why not post up a few of your thoughts concerning the SuperLift 6" SL in the modified suspension category on the forum. Perhaps post the reasons why you dumped the SL 6" (or maybe it was the BDS 5" SL) and went went to the SFA. Last that I recall was that you were still without a front DS before you bailed the rig completely. We're still fighting the same issues concerning IFS lifts and maybe you can provide some insight to our newer members.

Nice to hear from a bunch of you, I feel so special, lol Just kidding

Im waiting to hear back from the plastics company. Im hoping to god they just through them in storage or something. Those molds are crazy money and If I can get them to HenryJ, or better yet, get a few sets done up to help out some members I would love to do that! Im keeping my fingers crossed as it has been awhile.
I guess I will pull out my old programs and drawings and take a look at these skid plates...havent looked at the regular crew designs in years :S For those looking for a price and specifics, send me a PM for what you need I can look into it for you. Bare with me though, as they are pretty old and it may take a bit to get organized and fin dit all.
Next summer sounds good to me, just keep me posted and I will come out with you for sure.
Reed, I will go check out that thread for sure. Ill take a look at lunch and post some thoughts. anything i can do to help I will

pm sent about the skids bubaloo1983

Welcome back. Seems like you were a popular guy with the skidz flares. Very nice product. Hopefully that place has your molds still. Would be cool if someone would possibly put em to use. If you ever did another run I might be interested, depending on cost. But I'm not holding my breath and can live without. That's all I gotta say on that subject. lol.

Hope you stick around.

I just found my old carbon fiber oil pan/diff skid if you are interested? Btw, you need some special gm bolts for that skid, I got mine at gm parts direct for like $8 each I think? I know, it's crazy. You need 4.

For the front skid.... If you find a used one you got luckkkkky. Check eBay every few days. Though I have only seen one myself. J bought mine new from gmpartsdirect for like $130?

i really hope you can get ahold of thows molds, if hj gets them iam sure he will figure out a way to pull some more flares!!! i know i would be intrest in a pare of rear flares.

Heres hoping on the molds guys! Still waiting to here from them. Im keeping my fingers crossed! Ill stick around. Mostly I just get busy and for get to check sites im on lol. But its always fun talking crews and its making me want to mod my canyon now! Such a good infuence haha. Perhaps a lift is in the making!

Justin, good to see you on here again. I'm pretty scarce around here nowadays since my crew was forcibly traded in (broadsided @ 50mph, then flipped). My flares and skid plates held up 'till the end, or atleast until the truck started rolling.

Thanks a ton for your work. While it was short-lived, I enjoyed my flares alot.

WOW, Walt. As soon as I saw that name on the postings I had to say "Hello". I don't recall seeing a post from you in awhile. Hope all is well.

Yep, I'm still around. I like to check in every once and a while, but three toddlers and a busy job makes that a bit difficult. Hope you're all doing well!
