BUILDER Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Posted January 14, 2009 Hey buddy speaking of the axle have you seen the 14 bolt conversions they do so you can run a 14 bolt in the front like you were talking about with the 44? If you build it right they're pretty cheap and stand up alot better than the Dana 60 No i have not seen that. I started to build a front 14 bolt a couple of years ago then we sold then pickup and i have never gone back to the project. The only problem with the 14 bolt is you can only run a gear as low as a 5.13 and the housing hangs so low but you can trim the housing. Quote

LOL it is cool to fire up an S-10 and have it shake the whole shop when it is running. Edited February 18, 2009 by motor builder Quote

pabansheematt Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 If you reach your 550hp goal, 4.88s will be just right. I ran 44 uncut boggers with 410s and 600hp, and that was in a full size truck. I ran a beefed up 44 in the front with a 205 in the middle and a 14 bolt factory posi out back. If all your going to do is mud race, research the beefed up 44. It saves you quite a bit of weight and not to mention ground clearance. Plus it will only be $600 fully built as opposed to $1k for a stock 60. Cool project man!! I would never run a dana 44 front with 44" boggers. Unless you like changing axles. Dana 60 fronts are all over the place. Anyware between $400- $750. Quote
BUILDER Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 Bad ass. Thanks man it has been a lot of fun to build so far. I would never run a dana 44 front with 44" boggers. Unless you like changing axles. Dana 60 fronts are all over the place. Anyware between $400- $750. It has a 60 in the front i have no intentions of putting a 44 in one with this big of tires and this much motor. Quote

BUILDER Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Posted March 30, 2009 LOL here is one more pic for you guys. My buddy was following us in his mog and he had to prove to us how bad ass it was and he got it stuck. Quote
BUILDER Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Posted April 17, 2009 We took the S-10 out on the sand for the first time last weekend. This thing goes like a bat out of hell. It is a ton of fun to drive! Here is a short little vid of one of the hill climbs. We went up every dune in two wheel drive. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...ideoid=55417440 Quote
