- This video is a compellation of almost all of the Chevy S10 Rock lander build series up to this point. Most of this truck was built in about 6 months and has been broken, fixed, modified and ultimately enjoyed. This truck has seen thousands of on and offroad miles and is comfortable to live out of for long periods of time and will also do the hardest off road trail with ease. I love this truck and use it almost every weekend for the last 9 months. There is still lots to do to finish this truck out so look out for more videos on this!

I’m solid axle swapping an 02 blazer and swapping to a 5.3, I came across your videos within the last week or so, and they have helped a ton for the axle swap! Absolutely incredible knowledge
Thanks, glad I could help👊🏻
Que. Transición. Tiene. Y motor. Hermano ?
You did a stunning job!
Thanks 👊🏻
I'm not a big GMC/Chevy fan but this I one of my favorite builds think you did a badass job on it
Thanks man, I appreciate it🤟🏻
I've been following this build for a while now and I have to say its turned into a wicked little machine!
Thanks, it definitely has been great so far! It will only get better as a tweak all the little things.
You and Nate should get Casey Ladell out on the next snow run in the Sas s10 blazer he just bought.
Definitely, 👍🏻
Such a cool build! My body mounts are completely shot. So, my trucks been sitting in storage for the past few months. Seeing yours definitely makes me want to go to work on it again.
Thanks man, your truck is my inspiration! I am glad you still have it.
This is one of my favorite builds of all time. Great job on the build. Looks fantastic. Love it!
Thanks, i appreciate it 👊🏻
I plan to follow this build basically step by step on my ZR2 blazer. I love it. Other than I assume Enduro joints and plating the frame from the start, is there anything else you would do differently knowing what you know now?
Badass Rig!! Really like the Buck Island shot in the beginning too 😎😎
Thanks 👊🏻
Honestly I liked this build so much I absolutely had to do something like it I wasn't able to find a 4door s10 but did find an 01 explorer sport trac now have 79 Bronco axles locked with 5:38's for it and picking up some 37's.
Absolutely love your channel look forward to future adventures and builds thanks for keeping it real for all of us not fortunate enough to have lage shops and all the cool tools 🤟🏼
Sounds like and awesome build! It took me a few months and I had to drive 5hrs to find my S10.
@@MuddyBeards4X4 nice I'd say it was definitely worth it in the end as it's a sick rig now and I'm sure I'm not the only person this build has influenced so I don't know weather to thank you or be made at you because now I'm building a truck as well as my Jeep haha
Keep up the awesome videos 🤟🏼
🤣 right on man
Enjoy seeing you get to enjoy the truck. Obviously I'm a little biased, but I think it's pound for pound the best setup.
Thanks man, glad to see more than one dime hitting some snow this year🤟🏻
@@MuddyBeards4X4 hahaha right!! Hopefully we actually get a decent amount this year. Its been super warm so hoping for a late season at least. If not I'll have to head your way!
Awesome build! Hope you enjoy it even more!
Thanks 👊🏻 I will!
What an awesome beast..!!!
Thanks 🤟🏻
Nice job, Kelly! Keep up the good work. Thanks. 👍🏼
Thanks 👊🏻
Love the build. Great job man. If you ever want to wheel the dry side of the state, give me shout. Some great places that I would love to show you.
Thanks, will do🤟🏻
good video brother what your up and down travel thank you for sharing
Ok ok im sold. i have the same truck. When can i drop it off so you can do it the same way .lol. helluva job killer fabrication. Good job, sir.
Haha, thanks 👊🏻
@@MuddyBeards4X4 i almost forgot to subscribe. But i am now .👍
👍🏻
Great looking S-10 4x4 especially with the Solid Axle up front. I am asking myself why I didn't just do the SAS for the money that I have already spent building my S-10 4x4 with the IFS and I still am not done, I am completely envious of what you have and maybe someday My S-10 CrewCab LS 4x4 ZR5 will finally get its SAS.
Thanks, IFS can be great if it’s done right. And these projects are never done, lol. Sounds like an awesome truck you have. I am jealous of the ls power for sure.
Hey I remember you bro lol😂 sounds like you got your lift figured out!
@@waltersteffensthezr2man431 Goodmorning, Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Sir, sorry for the late response, I appreciate the response I would like to know how to get in contact with you sometime please when you have the time so that I can get some more information and or assistance into getting more lift. Every shop that I took my S-10 to turned me down because they called Rough Country which informed that it will not fit I finally found a shop in Auburn/Opelika, Alabama that didn't do what I asked to be done and then kept asking for more money also complaining about the installation and still didn't do the job right. There's alot more to this story but I am going to stop with that. I am not tech savvy learning along the way main goal is to be able to communicate with you if position as to what else I can do to gain extra lift. Thank You Very Much Sir for your time and assistance.
@@MuddyBeards4X4 Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family Sir, I apologize for the late response for I am learning as to how to respond return messages. I have always been a solid axle 4x4 owner this is actually my second IFS build the first was also a 1988 Chevy S-10 extended cab 4x4 but not as much of a lift as this one on the 2003 plus I was alot younger and more capable of doing the work myself as to being a future mechanic. I enjoy watching your videos and honestly miss having the ability and opportunity to work on my S-10 myself things have changed since then with my health so I basically rely on others to do the job for me. I apologize if I gave you the wrong impression for I sure wish it was LS powered but the S-10 is not it's still stock 4.3L/ V6, reference as to the LS is the model interior. I Thank You Very Much Sir and I look forward to seeing more upcoming videos, GREAT JOB and WORK that you do. I Thank You Sir.
Ok seeing your truck in stock from on that trailer l think you may have reached out to me a couple years ago ?? I had the '02 crew cab Sonoma indigo blue. Rough country 6-in lift. I now have the newer ZR2 Colorado.
Do you think you could keep the front crossmember to hold everything together/add strength, or does it take up too much real estate? I remember someone from four-wheeler doing this, might have been Verne, and they twisted up the frame in a ditch. Regardless, love this build!
It hangs down too low, and would be in the way of the front axle and trac bar. Between the front bumper and the frame plating it has been plenty strong so far.
Great build . but can't get most of the parts.because barns 4x4 is sold out almost every thing you look up
Thanks, yup they are catching up after the holiday sales. If you call them they can give you an idea of when they will be back in stock and get you on the list.
What tires are you running? Great build man!
Thanks, I have 37” cooper stt pros and 39” KO3 all terrains for the snow.
Is that still the same titanium welder from the review a while back? Is it still your go to welder?
Yes, same welder, titanium 200. Still works great.
You made this rig so you could take the family out. I never saw you do that. Unless I missed the video.
I don’t film everything or every trip. Family camping trips are for relaxing and spending time with the family.
@@MuddyBeards4X4 gotcha. Just thought maybe you’d get together with Nate and went with the families.
After using the truck for awhile what's the biggest upgrade or change you think it needs?? Also side note, you still doing that rx7 or whatever that side project was?
As far as big upgrades.. it needs more power for sure, but before that I still have a rear bumper to build, onboard air, onboard battery setup, storage systems to build, ect. I just barely got it on the road and have been using it almost every weekend for 9 months straight, been having too much fun using it to work on finishing it, lol.
Oh and yes, I still have the rx7. The motor and trans are ready to drop in, just need to find the time.
What solid axle did you use? And what was it from?
High pinion Dana 44 out of a 76 F150. Rear is a 9” out of a 80 f150
Are those dodge axles? 44 front and rear? Cool build!
Nope, ford 9” rear and high pinion 44 front.
@@MuddyBeards4X4does my dad 98 Ford ranger XLT come with the 9? I got that truck in the driveway collecting dust. Buying me s10 4x4 with 4.3
Not a 9” probably a 7.5. If it has the 4.0 it might be an 8.8 which is still a good axle if you upgrade a few things.
@@MuddyBeards4X4 it's 3.0 98 XLT half cab
@@MuddyBeards4X4 I might just have to call for tomorrow and find out.
