After four years of driving around (what resurrected J used to call it) a grandpa car, I decided I was over my Impala and missed my old S-10. Found a decent 2002 ext cab with only 63k miles. Snatched it up and have been slowly modding.

Mods:
5% window tint,
Kenwood head unit,
Painted front bowtie,
Smoothed/painted a few interior pieces black,
Added buckets and a center console (had 60/40 bench),
De-badged,
Clear corners,
DJM 2" lowering springs
Belltech Nitro Drop 2 front shocks,
Belltech 3" lowering blocks

Near future plans:
Lower another 2/3
Charcoal interior
Power/heated leather seats
Shaved Tailgate
Paint grille black
2" cowl hood

I know it's not much to look at right now, but it's gettin there. I'm sure you've all seen 39208329038 s-10's but oh well. Here are a couple pics, regardless. lol





Yes, I know I needed tire shine.. didn't even think about it until after we were done taking pics. I also need new locations. There is basically nothing around here.

nice truck, 4.3L? My little bro has an 03, fun truck

Love the fist pic. HDR or tone mapped?

Nah it's only got the 2.2l... One of these days i'll swap in a 350 or something equally as cool. lol

Not sure what the difference is. My buddy is the one tho took the pictures and he said it's HDR. His camera took three different exposure pics and he put them together in some HDR program.

clean truck bro. thats the same setup i use to have my reg. cab s10 so much fun. i miss so much



Little Sedan That Could <3 Forever

Nice pick up. And nice pick-up.

Needs 18's

This may have put me back on my s10 kick from last fall.

meh in my opinion, 20s look good, but when i was looking heavy into buying an s10 before my truck, i couldnt find any i liked, not to mention i liked a little meat on the tires. looked WAY hotter

agreed.

have you thought of air?

I think i'll be going with either black Boss 338's or if I really want to drop some $$$, i'll get a set of Intro Matrix. Also, one of these days it'll stock floor body dropped on air. But unfortunately it's not paid off yet; so the air and BD will have to wait.

Boss:


Intro:

I vote boss



Want hub spacers rear disk brackets or trailing arm bushings? Shoot me a PM.

22's in back 20's in front and bag it son. go big.

but im also one who wants an ls motor in it too so 18s would be better for that

sounds like it will look good. i'm leaning toward the intro. i like the boss but on bigger bodied vehicles.

I like it a lot. I am kicking myself for not getting that ZR2 I found for a good price 6 months ago....

I think a different/painted grill would make a big/nice difference as well.

I've often thought about 20/22. Hell, i've even debated doing 22's all around... But i'm already gonna have to do something about the a/c blower to lay on 20's. To do 22's i'd have to completely remove a/c and i'm entirely too fat for that!

Also, I'm undecided whether to go with a painted grill like the Xtreme or go with this look (chrome grille/bumper):

painted for sure. but im not a chrome guy. but i guess it doesn't fit better on trucks then cars

love it... nice and clean.

20's would look awesome on there. my vote goes to those Boss one's.

Thanks for the kind words guys. There are still quite a few things that I want to do with this beast. I'll be sure to take pics of the progress and post them in this thread to keep you guys updated.
