im beginning my first and only project s10.... first things first, ive alway been interested in mini trucks but have owned rangers because my family are mostly ford people. im the blacksheep of the family , i own chevy camaro's and firebirds and trans am's for projects and daily drivers and currently a newer impala 3.8 ls and my 95 ex cab 4 cyl 5 speed . its time to leave those 3rd gen f bodies in the past............ so heres what im starting with.
3-4 drop, crager soft 8 wheels, roll pan and as much black and dark colors as possible to make it look evil and scary. i got the idea while i was listening to the last track of the AC/DC highway to hell cd and looking at the truck and thinking that the red just wasnt me. maybe some trible design on the tailgate.
well ive got an update, ive added s10 xtreme wheels , djm 2in drop spindles, ground force 1 in lower coils up front and 3 in blocks out back, and spyder tails and a cold air intake from a 95 talon tsi.
up front ive got 235/55/16 and the rears are 245/55/16. i was gonna go with a 5=5 drop but i still haul my dirtbike once in awhile and was afraid of being too low. in retrospect i should have gone that route.
what is a composite front end? im a newbie in the whole mini truck world.
well ive picked up a few parts off craigslist, i got a xenon bumper and roll pan for 225.00. i still have the stock 95 frontend ,so now i have no turn signals until i get my new front upgrade parts. heres some pics for now.
You should tint the tail lights.
Chrome/clear lights on a black or dark truck just looks awful IMO.
Especially since you said you wanted it all dark to be evil and scary.
are you gonna add some kinda side-effects as well? something to tie in the front bumper?
rock it til you decide to remove it man, its yer ride, all day/everyday....
yes, im gonna add the rest of the kit as well.....i sent a few of these pictures to freinds and they thought it was alittle unperportioned with the rest of the truck until they seen it in person and then said it was alot better in person...
heres a side shot and another front shot with me standing instead of facing the truck at bumper level...still need to get some bracing done at the bottom to suck in the sides alittle. i think thats the worst part of it..
