Well first off I've only been wheeling for almost 1 year and I love it, both me and the mrs , I drive a 96 Chevy S10, now with a 3 inch body live (Blerk) I hate it, but it came like that, but hopefully next month, swapping the differentials for SFA, my dad owns a mechanics shop here in Campbellton, so I guess I am a lucky wheeler lol. my truck runs on 31"s, and once I get the diffs swapped, I will be looking for probly 35", I won't go higher then that for now, not before the 350 swap, its a huge project, and trying to do it in times when I can and do it quickly, it's my daily driving truck lol, but I'll take it anywhere I know it will go, and most likely try where it won't go lol. nice to be aboard..

Welcome to our forum zannii. There's not too many people in an organized group in the Campbellton area. Like yourself we sometimes call up a couple of friends and head out into the woods.
Until the snowmobiliers are forced to give up their trails to us in April we'll have to settle for offroading during the snowstorms ;D

Hey there, nice to see another s-10 being off road! I have a 97 myself with 2 inches of torsion bar lift, 31" pro comp xterrain and Zr2 fender flare. Always wanted to do a sfa swap but don't really have the time or the money. If you ever do it let me know how it went. Ever thought of putting a 5.7 vortex engine as they are pretty much the same as the 4.3? www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Chevrolet_S-10_V-8.html

I think i saw your s-10 in campbelton last year when i was going to college. I moved here a little over a year ago. Me and a body of mine who own a s-10 are planning on going to the sormany run, it'll be cool to see 3 s-10 in the run!

When is this Sormany run? After the snowmobilers give up the trails? (after April 15th?)

Probly, but what I don't understand, is the road we use for the trail, isn't used by snowmobilers, they have there own trail 20-30 feet from the road, why we have to wait is beyond me. but I found meself a nice and challenging place to play in the meen while
