First-Gen S10 Corner Carver

rear suspension waiting for link bars, tube inserts come in tomorrow, hopefully done by the end of the week.

rearend is powdercoated and assembled, brake brackets still need to be coated, will probably buy new calipers

I think I'm gonna wait until I drive this thing to put on a swaybar, because there is no way I can know how big a bar I need right now. I did however, get tabs on the axle for heims, and I will probably weld up some bushing mounts for the bar bushings.


rear brakes look really small, they are stock explorer discs at about 11 inches diameter...I'll probably paint that section of frame black so it doesn't stand out so much. I have about 2.5 inches clearance from frame to axle tube, no room to run a bumpstop, so I bought some that slip over the shock rod.


gear marking compound, I had someone assemble it, I assume the wear pattern is right


stock traction-lok posi rebuilt with carbon fiber clutches, 4.10 gears


panhard bar




about 1/2 inch clearance to coilover


you can see the adjustable panhard mount on the left. I'm trying to figure out a way to brace that vertical tube to the passenger frame rail, anybody got ideas?
