looks topheavy
They have no weight at all over the rear axle so if you go forwards down steep hills you tip over.

(my windshield also hates you)
The tires do stick out partially because they have 2 1/2in spacers. but there are mud flaps, relatively small though.

Please, PLEASE tell me you put those headlights in a proper housing so you aren't blinding every single person you end up behind or is coming the other way?
jesus christ not this again.
[QUOTE=Trekintosh;44296927]Please, PLEASE tell me you put those headlights in a proper housing so you aren't blinding every single person you end up behind or is coming the other way?[/QUOTE] by headlights i meant projector housings and HIDs, yes, they're adjustable too, so I can aim them. they're dual halos with projector lenses. it was really crappy out today so im gonna have to put them in tomorrow.

I've also seen Sandcats and other vehicles by them on a semi-regular basis. Most get shipped down south or east to get loaded onto the aircraft carriers and stuff, for Afghanistan, and until recently, Iraq.
I am happy that I am not the only one around here who drives a Chevy S Series truck!

That's the good side, the bad side I don't quite feel like showing today.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Squerl101;44381454]I am happy that I am not the only one around here who drives a Chevy S Series truck![/QUOTE] Likewise. There's a couple of us on here that drive the little buggers. Which kind are you driving? I'm a bit curious.
I'd love a 4wd S10 with a 4.3 and a 5speed. They aren't very common here though. [editline]28th March 2014[/editline] s10 pickup* [editline]28th March 2014[/editline] Basically a ZR2

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBTDKA4d_kE[/media] since we're on the talk of light/midsized trucks, i thought you guys would enjoy this little swap. so jealous. [editline]28th March 2014[/editline] stacks are horrendous though
Love the sound of a 2 stroke diesel [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-rSGRU9bzw[/url]
Scanias old 14-litre V8 with the traditional fuelsystem with a pump and springinjectors, that's where it's at. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLU5A-u9KMY[/media]

Just a regular 98 s10. Trusty lil 4 cyl.
