i demand a do-over, fix that s10!

[@388gruardian]

I agree with you, yes the s10 is not the greatest but could've done better.

[@jackcarroll702]

That 240 could of hauled ass with 4wd

[@jeremyvculek3090]

Don’t they have a vacuum system for the 4x4

[@stephendee7839]

The rear-end bob on the S10 was cool, but that build was ridiculously expensive and evidently ineffective. The S10 build should have included a used Torsen rear carrier for about $100. You needed tires, but you could've found cheaper (tall) tires to put on the stock rims and saved about $500. And given the year, you should have addressed the vacuum leak (read replace all vacuum lines) that took out the 4x4 shifting before going to the challenge. Other tricks: '98+ Blazer front end (a-arms, knuckles, sway bar, brakes) gets you dual-caliper brakes. Replace the seal between the transmission and the xfer case. With a Torsen in the back, decent tires and the 4x4 working, the S10 would've been a contender rather than a back-marker.

[@hedsy]

Should have welded the rear diff.

No that's horrible for your car lol

[@DIYdake]

I think it would have been best to have the S10's 4WD fixed before filming this .......

[@oducks5820]

That's part of the cheap truck challenge is you have to run the your truck by the deadline

[@mcqueenfanman]

I wished they would have shown more of the s10 build up. They make (or made) a kit to get rid of the front axle vacuum actuator, it makes it 100% cable operated.

[@1337Exile]

But if they fixed it before hand they would have used the sponsored Voodoo Rope quite a bit less.

[@ScottHBrown]

mcqueenfanman I had a 1991 Sonoma, which I tried to retro fit with the cable actuated front axle, the cable worked once and I ended up getting rid of the thing because it didn't work properly. Yes, I followed the instructions. It was poorly designed. I ended up tying directly into the vacuum system with a T junction and ran the vacuum actuator that way, which worked until I got rid of the truck.

[@DRT-81]

right , made 2 videos shit .

[@TurtleGamingNL]

This hillclimb is brought to you by vodoo recovery rope, because sometimes your fourwheeldrive is only a twowheeldrive, and your v6 is still not a v8

[@toyota4runner5188]

Only because this guy is a dumb ass...

[@drewarthur2169]

TurtleGamingNL it may not be a V8 but the 4.3L V6 is still a strong engine and fits the S10 well

[@cgustafson240]

The first vehicle I ever owned was an 85 S-10 4wd. I put a lift and a good MT. Was a lot of fun for a kid. Cheap to fix when you break things, as a kid you will do a lot of that. This was in the 90s so there were thousands of them in yards. So I wasn't afraid to hurt it at all. Think it was a good experience that taught me what I needed to know moving forward.

I agree

[@SirFrag32]

***** Do you not get the idea of the challenge? "A rig a kid drive to get into wheeling". When I was a teenager, I didn't have hundreds of dollars to blow on my car. But if I could get a hand-me-down jeep and throw some mud tires and a set of springs on and take it on the hill, I'd be all over that.

[@SirFrag32]

SirFrag32 It also did every challenge without help from the other guys...

[@YankeeCherokee]

I love these guys, they just have a stupid amount of fun together and is what makes this show so great

[@idriwzrd]

What if I'm a 30-something that still acts like a 16 year old? Can I still try to build a cheap truck?

[@LegendsXXX2]

I just found a 1985 4Runner with the solid front axle for $1550, Solid frame too, thing has handled great in the snow recently. Gotta say the old yotas are my favorite when it comes to mini trucks

always carry a pair of vice grips if you own an s10 with vaccum actuated 4wd

[@TheJoeyfishy]

I don't understand some of the issues people have with Jeep. I have a 93 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 230k with all original drive-train and suspension, and it's still going strong. It's my DD and weekend wheeler and its never left me stranded. Honestly, I think most the people who don't like them either never personally owned one, or are simply jealous.

[@thetetons744]

The zjs are such legendary vehicles. It does suck to be a fan of them cuz the chevy and ford and import people rag on them for being a jeep and the wrangler snobs (#notallwrangleowners) rag on them for not being a real jeep. But they are legendary. Especially the 5.9 and the 4.0

[@wobblyduck1594]

Must be.... they never owned one, because (trust me) jealousy is not a factor.

[@max25x8]

The International is just the definition of badass. Such a cool vehicle, I really love it!

[@tomshepherd4901]

I had an '88 S15 Jimmy that I used to take off road. I loved that truck, it was indestructible. I was a little disappointed that it looked so bad in the challenge because you couldn't engage the front diff. I think it got a bad rap....

[@RUSTYCHEVYTRUCK]

No matter what you have, 2wd sucks off-road

[@kylekleese787]

prerunners would like to disagree lol

[@dillonkoch72]

as a kid I took my 99 chevy S10 blazer 4 door 4x4 off roading it had kumo performance tires on it i could go were all the jeeps went I just couldn't climb step sand hills. will now I gotta 2002 chevy S10 ZR2 with stick 4x4. it's a lot more fun to take off roading I loved my blazer so I wanted another S10 variant. I put some performance mods just to make it a little more fun headers,custom straight piped exhaust,flowmaster super 10 muffler,accel super coil pack, 8mm MSD wires, spectra cold air intake, and some 31×10.5 tires it's fun in the mud it just goes right through it but it still sucks in and lol

[@sethat8e]

Put a vise grip on the actuator cable, pull the shift motor, and shift into 4lo with a wrench.

[@christopherray122]

My shifter works fine with just the cable pinched in a pair uh vice grips. It's been pinched for at least 6 years and goes in n outta 4 like it was designed that way.

[@3rdGenGuy]

Jeep grand Cherokees are by far one of the worse cars ever made. The build quality is horrid. From auto trans that grenade in 50K miles, to the unreliable jeep EFI. My friends owned these Cherokees to off-road with and they were breaking down every other week. I remember we had AAA tow my friends Cherokee, and the driver said he towed a jeep or crysler vehicle twice as much as any other manufacturer.

[@3rdGenGuy]

Jason Tyo 3 of my Friend's cars grenade'd after 60K. You can't say in good faith that Chrysler trans are good.

[@CTjacob13]

Stephen Bagnell Especially the trans axles. My 2010 Caravan is in the shop with 55k on it for a failed bearing and planetary gear. Luckily, its still under warranty.

[@3rdGenGuy]

CTJacob Old crysler was terrible. It's funny how Fiat improved Chrysler vesicles more than 3 years than Crysler did in 50 years.

[@Geoffreymmckee]

depends on the trans. the 54rfe is a pretty strong, many people with well over 150K on them. Not to mention there are tons of parts available, not hard to swap in another one.

[@McLarenKeith]

Something about this episode was lacking; it didn't flow very well. I have a feeling the editing made it a bit jumbled up.

[@SegaSteve0429]

the 4x4 vacuum lines on those s10's are a pain in the ass to get to work right, but work decent when they do. As long as the diaphram that pulls the cable to the front axle isnt leaking you can just run straight vacuum to it (it will engage the axle all the time, but you'll have 4wd). I have an 83 s10 blazer that I bought and got running for about $500. The carbed 2.8 sucks, but it's gone everywhere I wanted to take it (except up really steep hills when the carb floods), and even pulled out a few of my friends in their jeeps, but mine has factory 3.73's with a posi rear and 4wd that works.

[@trucksandheavymetal]

I had a 1988 S-10 Blazer 4X4 4.3L, awesome truck, great off road, but I had to replace vacuum lines for the 4X4. I also had a 1993 Grand Cherokee Limited V8, awesome truck, great off road, lots of power. The Jeep is identical to the one in the vid, it was white with gold accents and had a light brown leather interior, unfortunately, I had to give it back to the guy I got it from because of title issues, but the Blazer and Jeep are the most fun things I have ever driven, and I've driven over 1200 vehicles.

[@nycmaverick]

I call bullshit unless you name them.

[@trucksandheavymetal]

Cinquecento Nero I can, do you really want me to send you 32 pages of the vehicles I've driven? I am a car fanatic and I always thought it would be fun to keep track of all the vehicles I've driven, so I made a list on a word document.. I went to school to be an automotive technician for 2.5 years, and have been working in the field for another 2.5 years, trust me, you end up driving a lot of vehicles.

No tripod, no charisma, no nothing - not to mention lousy mic work at times, and the challenge segments seem staged like a bad Top Gear parody. Sponsorship plug was terrible too.

P.S. to the top brass, the building owner, the city, and any lawyers who may or may not be responsible for the following: Get off your tight-arsed penguin butts and LET ROADKILL DO BURNOUTS IN THE COMPANY PARKING LOT - FOR NOW AND FOREVER.

You need to go South to find anything worth messing with. You can find good deals starting in VA but I would look at NC or even further South to find NICE rust free toys to work on. Lots of good Jeeps and others. Just takes some hunting for the right price.

[@camerl2009]

***** not when you grew up in a body shop and strive for the best looking cars you can get and when you are talking about unibody cars(much like that grand Cherokee) thinks like floor pans and rocker panels become the only thing between you can another car in a t bone. if it was strictly for mudding who cars but for most kids these vehicles will be their daily drivers also

[@BillyJoe1305]

camerl2009 Things aren't that bad. If you live on Pelee island or even Windsor (probably the southernmost place that qualifies as any kind of metropolis) you can find plenty of things, we're practically neighbors and all it takes is some looking. And cars have to rust pretty far to become unsafe If you worry about things looking perfect that's a different story, but unsafe takes a long time (a jeep that age should still be fine).

+Thomas Campbell Do you daily drive your blazer with the welded rear? I have a 98 S10 4x4 with the 4.3, and I tied the front cable and it works great. Just worried about daily driving with a welded rear, since I only go offroading once every few weeks or so.

this is what happens when you waste all your money on wheels, tires, and suspension without beefing up your drivetrain. derp.

[@runeshark22]

+jteutulsr well depends on what you have stock. my truck is a 95 ranger. comes with a 4L v6 and 4r55 tranny, dana 35 in front and ford 8.8 in the rear. Overall that engine is plenty of power for what it is. to use that for cheap truck challenge, getting better tires than the standard wrangler rts from goodyear is top priority. i run firestone destinations now which are great, so much better than the old tires. however if i'd bought a ranger with the 2.3 mazda 4 cylinder... well that's a different story.

I got stuck in a 17" deep snow blizzard once with my buddies and my square body S-10 4wd quit working in the front. I figured out what was wrong. I was about 20 or so years old and had a S-10 blazer. I took the shoestring out of my shoe and went under the hood and tied it to the cable and pulled it tight and had full 4wd again and I had an even bigger smile on my face. That thing just wouldn't get stuck. My shoestring cable tied 4wd held tight and allowed me to travel about 200 more miles home through the snow with no problem. Yeah it may go out but it is simple and that's a plus for sure.

I got my zr2 blazer! Does great off road. I would suggest it as long as it is in fact a Z and has the g80 rear end. Not an electric locker and doesn't have the front locker but the rear locks in when you need it. Never fails

[@isaacsmail4258]

my mom had an 1991 chevy 1500 long bed and the only mod was target 350 and every thing else was stock it could offroad better than my dad's dodge 2500 with a lift kit. that chevy could never seem to get stuck even in deep mud.

[@Lukeno52]

That International truck is pretty interesting, compared to the S10 and Grand Cherokee at least. A brand that often gets forgotten when talking about offroaders/pickup trucks, even older ones.

[@arongitis]

rob, why didn't you remove the vacume tube off the front diff and remove the plate. then slide the gear and engage it by hand, for the day? i had an 87 wrangler that was a pos and i snapped the rear drive shaft at the rear yolk or u-joint connection. i had to slide the shaft out and egage the 4 high to get home. i ran it that way for 3 months in maui

[@rodrigomesa5074]

I was at work just waiting for the show and it was great
