Looks sweet. I'm not a truck guy, but that will be one little hot rod once done. Question about the S10, will you have to add a bit more weight or ballast at the back because you're putting in a much bigger motor?

No. A LSD in the rear, some better suspension and it will be good.

Good luck on your latest endeavor there Kris S10's with LS swaps are the shit. Be sure to post some pics from the rear once you get those wideboys on there.

No way, Jesal. I thought you were born with a BMW key in your mouth.

Toyota Tacoma? Those weren't made until the mid 90s.

Yes. The plastic has static to it and helps attract some dust, it also keeps it out.

He probably meant the regular Toyota Pickup. I used to call them Tacomas too, but that was long before I really ever got into them.

Don't hurt your back Kris. I hurt my back almost 1.5 years ago and it still hasn't been the same.
