Tyler Paul knew he wanted his first-gen S-10 to be super clean so he tackled the body and paintwork himself to achieve that goal. Tyler started by shaving everything his heart desired including door handles, body lines, and finishing with a smooth tailgate skin. A Toyota front bumper and phantom grille finished things off before Tyler laid down the 2005 Scion Green paint. Next he knew his S-10 had to go down south, so after installing a four-link, drop spindles, and full air ride he definitely has us "Green With Envy."

Pete Roberts is no stranger to minitruckin'. This time the bug bit back, and Pete knew he wanted to go back to his old-school roots. So he picked up a 1982 Toyota SR5 that was just like the one he had in high school. This Toyota is fully 'bagged at each corner and stock-floor body-dropped thanks to the help of Dan at Low Clearance Customs. He left the body mainly stock with the only addition of a smooth rollpan and a smoothed bed floor. We know Pete is loving things the second time around.

David Garza knew when he picked up his latest project that he wanted to get his 2003 S-10 very low very quickly. He installed Slam Specialties 'bags in each corner and to get his Dime back up to cruising altitude he installed 1/2-inch GC valves and two Viair 380 compressors. Rolling over a set of 18-inch Eagle wheels, David was happy with the stance. Next, he installed a 2003 Sonoma front end and welded the entire rear shut. David's future plans include a stock-floor bodydrop, 20-inch wheels, and a new coat of paint.
