My New S-10
Sunday, July 16, 2006 11:00 AM
Well, I decided one day that I wanted a truck, I test drove a few things and I liked this 2000 S-10 that I drove. I had some money saved up so I bought the truck. It has the 4.3l v6 automatic with dual exhaust and I already shaved the badges on the sides. I got it home, didn't have it for less than 24 hours and already leaking antifreeze, the dealership I bought it from came and picked it up with a flatbed tow-truck to fix it. It's getting fixed tomorrow. I managed to get a few pics of it before they took it.

Here they are:






And last but not least, a photoshop of it I did with the wheels I want, bagged, etc:


Let me know what you guys think. First mod will be an Aluminum 3rd door handle. Then clear corners. Other future mods are in my reg.

Lol, yeah it's RWD. I sure as hell didn't want a 4wd. If I wanted that, I would have bought a fullsize truck.

Thats a clean s10. I think S10's look good dropped. I've seen a few lifted and bigger wheels on em and it just doesn't seem right. Small trucks just dont look good lifted. Plus even the 4wd S10's just aren't a muddin machine (doesn't mean there aren't any out there that do good). I would love to have a clean S10 like that just to drive around and haul something small when I need it.

I work on them at my shop all the time. Just hope to god you never have to change motor mounts. Its a bitch. The plugs are pretty easy except the back one on the drivers side. The steering shaft gets in the way.

It'll be a while till it's bagged. First things first, clear corners, window tint, and shaving the tailgate badges.

Looks nice. I had been dreaming of another S10 ever since the new body came out years ago.
I picked up a 98 ext cab last year. I put it up on jackstand 3 months ago and slapped a c notch on it.

Yeah.......its still sitting on the jackstands and I havnt done a damn thing to it. I have everything for the bags. JUst been to lazy and busy to put the rest of the stuff on.
