Hydro Assist, Custom steering and first drive of the Solid axle swapped S10!

- In this video we do a steering box swap to the Astro van gear box. We drill, tap and install the DIY4X hydro assist steering box cap. Install a grand Wagoneer pitman arm and wrap up the custom steering. I go for a first test drive and have to fix the wondering front end by adjusting the caster. We are getting super close to hitting the trail with this truck!

Ditch that rag joint and put a jeep steering shaft in it. Made the steering feel so much better having a u joint instead of the rag joint
I had a old cj7 that wandered and got super squirrelly on the road, shimmed the front end to get positive camber and changed my life haha.
Dang. You gave that thing grocery cart caster. Good thing the hydro assist was there to not let you death wobble into the nearest tree.
🤣 true
Awesome Kelly. Need to get a s10 extreme decal and combine it with the zr2 sticker. 😅
🤣… probably not, lol.
@@MuddyBeards4X4 extreme and zr2 were no Bueno, good call!
Congrats man! Always a good feeling driving something you built for the first time! Can't wait to see how this thing turns out!
Thanks, for sure.
Agreed!!
Thanks for putting the part numbers and model years for the box and pitman arm. Forums leave me with more questions than answers when I go down the “Astro box” rabbit hole haha
That thing looks sick, make me want to front axle swap something 😂
I went down that same rabbit hole, lol. SAS is a ton of work but worth it👍🏻
haha your tippy toe driving reference was perfect
😂 thanks
i went with positive 8* caster on my jeep and it worked out beautifully. ive always heard the more the better.
Yup, especially with big tires. Once I flex out the front to full droop and check my pinion angle. I will see if the driveshaft can take a few more degrees.
Such a sick build & series 🤘🤘🇨🇦
Thanks 👊🏻
Thanks I appreciate what your doing with your truck 🚚 great job.
Thanks 👊🏻
Can't wait to see this beast wheel
🤟🏻
Hell yea! Congrats! Such an awesome build!
Thanks 👊🏻
Cool! Learn a lot. Thanks for the video!!!
You do good!
👊🏻
Dude it looks so sick! Great work so far!
Thanks 👍🏻
Happy for you dude! This build is so cool. 🤟🏼
Thanks man, it was a bummer I didn’t make it out to ejs with you guys, but I am slowly getting there.
@@MuddyBeards4X4 don’t build it fast, build it right. It’ll be worth it. 🤟🏼
Badass! This thing is so rad.
Thanks 👊🏻
How many looks 😍did you get on your first test drive in the s10 Rocklander? BTW thanks for showing us how not to set your caster on the SAS setup 🤣
Haha, you’re welcome. It hasn’t been driven out in the wild yet, just in the neighborhood. So we will see this weekend. I will start driving it around and testing.
@@MuddyBeards4X4 😁
I usually try setting my caster at 5-6deg that 3deg seems a little short.
It is a 5 degrees, I want a little more but I am constrained by my front driveshaft and pinion angle.
If it was say 8" longer you could get the extra couple deg you want..Like a reduction box added in there.haha
@@MuddyBeards4X4 not sure if you can get offset upper balljoints to get more caster but if you can that might be an option
Kelly are you going to build a double sheer on the pitman arm? I would if have the room to do so.
Not right now, maybe in the future. The ram is going to take up a lot of the force. If I had no hydro assist I wouldn’t do it without double sheering the pitman arm.
What brake master cylinder are you using s10 or a 1ton
Stock master, with the abs module removed. Could be better, but stops just fine. So I haven’t messed with it.
Should of went with electric power steering with a manual box.
