1st gen project

This has been a long time project with my best friend. We work toggether on projects and have a 6.0 LQ4 swap going into a S10 right now and a 2.3 SVO swap going into a ranger among others. This truck is mostly a trail rig that can be driven on the street. 5.29 gears with lockers and 63 inch chevy springs.





The 22R still keeps ticking but the 4 speed L trans is a very big weak link and I would like to swap in a stronger 5 speed. Also the Weber carb has been less than reliable so that may be another issue we need to address.

Thank you for the kind words. The two big things I need to address are a front number/winch mount and the stupid 2 peace adapter that keeps leaking on the weber.

You can get a spiral adapter that doesn't leak from LCE

We are just about ready to go to propane and call it a day. I have easy access to it and I am sick of fighting the Weber carb issues.

This weekend I am going to try and get a few more pictures and clean the old girl up.
