I would like to minimize the lift or not lift it at all so an IFS suspension would be best for that. Realistically though I need to do the engine swap first then do the axle so that I know what space constraints I am dealing with. If I can do a straight axle, with a minimal amount of lift over...

Yeah coils are the plan regardless. Still torsion bars yes.

Hahaha.... Did you think of that all on your own?

Perfect! I think I saw these pics on some other forum. I like the adjustable spring perch idea

So should I swap to a straight axle or do some sort of custom IFS with beefier parts? I would like a decent ride quality but I feel like I can obtain that with good shocks and components in a straight axle swap. With my upcoming engine swap and addition of the camper to my S10, I am considering...

Thanks chilli. The live edge is intentional. I like the look.

Here are the counter top blanks. I acquired some live edge hardwoods from a friend for free. Just had to haul it out of his property before it was sold. Anyway I dropped it all off at a friends shop. He turned out these two pieces for me. They are beautiful IMO. Pics don't do them justice

If it has knock sensor issues, it would show a code for that.

Most likely plug wires. Don't think the knock sensors would cause a misfire but you should address those and the harness too. It's easy to do and you can install new intake gaskets while you're at it

Also I ordered a queen sized paco pad for my mattress, should have it any day now. For anyone unfamiliar with Paco pads they are pretty much indestructible. They are made from white water raft material, they float and are easily patched just like a raft. So if I ever want to float around while I...

Got the first side access door fabbed up. I bought the T handles but made my own add on to make them 3 point latches. Stainless rods and delrin receiver blocks make for smooth operation and a tight seal all the way around. I bought tamper proof torx screws to attach the T handle latch with as...

Yeah why would you want to shed some weight, lower your CG, make more powe and improve fuel economy ? 😀

Yeah man I am seriously jonesing for the day this hit's the road. I am hoping to make it to the Asheville Overland Expo this year in at least some form of functional.

I considered this but ultimately want the simplicity of a mechanical injection diesel and one fuel source for everything. I do have an LS6 for sale if you are interested.

If I have the engine and trans ready, downtime won't be much but downtime also doesn't matter to me. Still planning on the Isuzu 4BD2T, NV4500 and 9" fords. Have made some more progress lately. Mainly just welding but I received the window blanks that I had made. They are 1/2' thick, double...

Mine is in progress. Modeled like a V2 without a flat bed. Have a look at my build thread

Here are the preliminary sketches of the interior layout. My girlfriend is trained as an architect and will be helping to plan out the interior build and layout. None of this is set in stone and I am open to suggestions or questions.

Yeah the 6BT is really long too. I will probably go with the Isuzu as I originally planned. But the engine swap is a ways off. It will be insulated in between the tubing with rigid foam board. Not the best insulation but sufficient I think.

Thanks!

Thanks. I have been contemplating my engine swap, tire size and gearing lately. Sort or leaning towards a cummins 6bt with NV4500 because I can get that setup with transfer case for a decent price. Otherwise I want a 4BT or Isuzu 4BD2T but I would end up spending more in the long run to attach...
