You guys are all ridiculous. I actually didn't get the tires on today. A combination of the shop not having time to do them today AND me working all day today and yesterday didn't help either. I'm shooting to get them done Monday or Wednesday.
Tomorrow I plan to get some if not all the shocks mounted and get the drive shaft back into place. If that happens I'll take it for a test drive WITH shocks. Whatever progress made tomorrow will be digitally archived and shared with the s10forum community.

tfpets · 05-04-2008, 01:12 AM

Heck I bought my new tires and had them installed all in one afternoon...I now have brand new 33x13.50 Super Swamper TSL's on my truck...same ones I had already except they have tread on them!

Baggey22 · 05-04-2008, 01:23 AM

Well if my tires came to me in one day I would have had them put on too. But they came different days! When I got the third and fourth I had work, and have had it since.

ChrisInVT · 05-04-2008, 10:08 AM

Mount 'em yourself, all you need is about 30 flathead screwdrivers and a BFH

Baggey22 · 05-05-2008, 12:32 AM

Update: So I didn't get into the garage today because the guys that actually own it needed it. But I wasn't completely useless. I went and got my front drive shaft today, so I should be able to get that in as soon as my crossmember gets customized. Tomorrow I plan to move the rear axle forward and get the rear drive shaft back in.

tfpets · 05-05-2008, 01:51 AM

Did you ever decide what you are doing for a crossmember??

Baggey22 · 05-05-2008, 01:59 PM

I actually haven't decided what I'm doing yet. I was looking at it today and my options are somewhat limited. There is alot of crap in the way.
My list of stuff to complete is as follows:
1. Mount shocks (waiting for F250 shock towers to come in)
2. Tranny cross member
3. Reroute exhaust
4. Put a CV joint on rear drive shaft
5. Change out front output shaft to accept Jeep drive shaft
6. Tires
7. WHEEL

ChrisInVT · 05-05-2008, 02:05 PM

LMK if you need me to head up there with my welder to see if we can do something about your exhaust.

Baggey22 · 05-05-2008, 02:11 PM

I don't think that'll be necessary for a little while. The exhaust is one of the last things on my list. Shocks and rear drive shaft is first. The whole front drive train is the last of my worries. I'll get some pictures so you can see what needs to be done.

Damn you kids these days...

Edit: damn you beat me to it.

Baggey22 · 05-06-2008, 10:13 AM

I'd rather leave that to the mechanic.

Tim99Zr2 · 05-06-2008, 10:14 AM

puss! the bigger the tire, the easier it is

just need to lube it up!

Werd.

Mounting 8" tires are a bitch and a half. Mounting a 34 would be easy as pie.

Baggey22 · 05-06-2008, 12:55 PM

I've never mounted my own tires before. Chris you could come help me and take that spare 33 with you

Then you could help me figure out my tranny Xmember and some other welding things I need.

ChrisInVT · 05-06-2008, 01:43 PM

Shit, I haven't mounted my own fullsize tire in a few years... It could be a fun experience!

Hey, if I put ONE 33 on my truck, you think I can get 1/4th further down the trials that my 31's don't like?

Baggey22 · 05-06-2008, 01:45 PM

I think your problem isn't that your tires aren't big enough. I think it's more that they are bald ass A/Ts. Plus my 33s don't have much tread on them, but they're great spares.

ChrisInVT · 05-06-2008, 01:50 PM

Dude, I think your sarcasm detector is fubar'd

Baggey22 · 05-06-2008, 05:19 PM

Finals week is coming up. Not much works right now

zach5150 · 05-07-2008, 02:37 AM

damn..this thread makes me wanna do my truck or have it done....nice build!

Baggey22 · 05-07-2008, 09:37 AM

Thats funny, I want my truck to be finished too

Project Dime · 05-07-2008, 12:59 PM

nice build. this also makes me want to do my truck even more....lol

Baggey22 · 05-08-2008, 01:39 AM

my advice to you if you guys do decide to do the swap is to take your time, do your research, and do it right the first time.
Once you get really close to finished (like I am) the project will basically "nickel and dime" you to death. All I need to finish my project is a few small parts, and it's a pain in the ass waiting for them. So do better than I did and get ALL your parts (and maybe some extras) BEFORE the build.

crazy91s10 · 05-08-2008, 11:20 AM

too much chit-chat... not enough pics!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baggey22 · 05-08-2008, 01:00 PM

I can't do any work on the truck for two reasons. One I'm waiting for parts to come, and two finals week starts tomorrow so I have other stuff that needs to happen before the truck.
Once work begins again I'll get some pictures

Tim99Zr2 · 05-20-2008, 05:37 PM

pics???

Baggey22 · 05-21-2008, 10:41 PM

Still no updates guys. Finals week is over FINALLY and I'm still waiting for stuff to come in the mail. I unfortunately 250 miles from my truck until Saturday so I won't be able to get any parts from the mail room on campus until Monday. Then I leave on Tuesday for a 17 day backpacking trip in Utah. So basically the truck is going to sit for a while. But once I get back I'm taking a FULL weekend and getting it trail ready.

Tim99Zr2 · 05-22-2008, 04:36 AM

excuses...

Shit man, I've been wheeling my truck already, and I basically started with a frame and drivetrain

Baggey22 · 05-26-2008, 10:05 PM

So I leave tomorrow for 17 days for a backpacking expedition. I'm going out to the Moab region, so maybe I'll get some sweet pix.
My truck will be done soon after I get back. I PROMISE!!
Try not to miss me too much!!!

I'm going to go jack your tires while you're gone

you can do it with a a stock suspension i have it on mine you just have to get a smaller filter.

Okay, now I'm a little worried about you. Your going to Moab WITHOUT your truck! That ain't right!! Trust me, 2 of the 3 times I've been, I only had my quad with me and it SUCKS without the truck! Anyway, try to have fun on foot.

Baggey22 · 06-14-2008, 08:59 PM

Moab was SWEET. So many lifted vehicles it was incredible. I REALLY want to go back with my s10.
And Chris I have a lot of new fab ideas and such, you should come help some weekend and get that spare from me.

ChrisInVT · 06-15-2008, 02:55 PM

I was going to get my 33's today, but decided that I'm still going to wait until I can get those wheels sandblasted so I can paint 'em. I was just going to have them put the 33's on my stock wheels, but I have enough rubbing problems with the tires on there now.

Baggey22 · 06-15-2008, 04:14 PM

Sweet Chris, can't wait to see how it looks!

So this is my idea, I'd like some input to see what you guys think.
Sally never came with a tailgate, only one of those net things. Then I bobbed the bed so even if I had a tailgate it would have been rendered useless anyways. The net has been OKAY for a while but it's still a pain in the ass, and I like the net because I can see behind me better and know where I am when offroading. A few of the trails around here have siginifant drop offs so turning around can be difficult and being able to see EXACTLY where the ground is helps. The down side is stuff slides out from under it and it's annoying. So my idea is to get some either 1.5" or 2" by 1/4" flat stock and make a tail gate that slides in and out from the top. I'll slide in and out of a track kind of deal, like really small C channel. and I'll also put some angles on the bed sides to give it strength if the tail gate is out.
I'll try to draw a picture later on paint and post it up.
Anyone have any advice? Questions? Comments? Let me know!

mbord79 · 06-15-2008, 04:20 PM

Sounds like it should work. Are you talking about making it slotted like a headache rack so that you can still see out of it?

Baggey22 · 06-15-2008, 04:44 PM

I have no idea what a headache rack is. Basically it'll be a rectangle made out of flat stock with one big X in it for cross support. It's a very simple design. I don't use my bed A LOT but it's nice to know that when I do I can use it and not have to worry about stuff falling out.

Tim99Zr2 · 06-15-2008, 05:13 PM

why not just put a 2x4 at the end of your bed, standing it on its side.. simple and cheap

ChrisInVT · 06-15-2008, 05:34 PM

Sounds like a good idea, but I have a better one... Why not build the tailgate like you're thinking of, but have it work like a stock tailgate should. IMO that would be much better, because then if you carry something (gear, wood, whatever) that you need the extra room in the bed for, instead of removing your tailgate, you can open it up. Shouldn't take much more work either, and if you need parts - I have a whole spare bed & tailgate

I still think you should section in the rear of a 1st gen to add the tail lights.

mbord79 · 06-15-2008, 07:23 PM

a headache rack protects your back glass, most have slanted flat steel kind of like the louvered back glass on the old mach 1 mustangs and some old camaros. but i guess that would be extremely complicated and kind of poinless. that was just the first thing that I thought of when you said flat steel

Finals week is over FINALLY and I'm still waiting for stuff to come in the mail. I unfortunately 250 miles from my truck until Saturday so I won't be able to get any parts from the mail room on campus until Monday. Then I leave on Tuesday for a 17 day backpacking trip in Utah. So basically the truck is going to sit for a while. But once I get back I'm taking a FULL weekend and getting it trail ready.
