I have a stock s10 with 31 inch tires and no lift that would make it through just as much as your s10 no problem. have a little faith in your truck man.
Yeah what West said man I've had four of these S-Series trucks two of which were ZR2 is I had a 98 Blazer ZR2 I had it 03 S10 ZR2 that had a 2in lift in it and then I've had also to stalk Blazers 1/2 door 1 4 door 98 and 99 and 99 I still have. they're good trucks man to Never Let You Down that's for sure.
I've had nothing but front end problems with these trucks to the moon and back. I've owned 4 of them. All had various tire sizes up to 35s with 2.5" rc lift and 2" body. The best case scenario with these trucks is to just keep it stock, always air down and drive slow. Because the front end components are pin
They are very capable trucks from the factory I had a 2000 ZR2 it would do anything I wanted or needed it to do I have since upgraded to a 18 ZR2 "LOVE MY ZR2'S"
I bought a 2001 zr2 last year. It is a awesome truck. A lot people ask me questions about it. I just rebuilt the transmission and it feels like it has more torque.
Maybe if you take er easy over the massive bumps before the mud your suspension would last a lil longer. You don't need to be hitting puddles at 35mph to get through, that's why we have 4wd
My 02 Sonoma ZR2 with no lift and just bfg all terrains would climb a tree it’s the family trash truck now with 240,000 miles on it but it still goes only bad thing with it was the rear brake calipers the 4.3 vortec is still a great engine
Nice video man, I'm building a 84 S10 Blazer right now and I'm thinking about putting a lift on it and stuff, This makes me really want to do that even more Lol
I loved my 1999 chevy zr2 truck i owned for a year before my daughter was born and I had to sell it! It was that same pewter color. I just might look to buy one again if I can find one from early 2000's that has under 150k mileage. Hey do you live up nearby brustol,tn the holston lake and holston mountains in northeast Tennessee?
Hehe I know you said you realised how capable your truck is now. But those trails are awesome for the truck I'd love to go there. The zr2 is made for it. It's my dream truck actually I've had 2 s10s but both 2wd. Buddy just bought a 98 zr2 and man I love it. I'm going to buy one
Im planning on buying a 01 zr2 s10 with a stick but tbh a factory 4x4 s10 without the zr2 package would make it though half of the stuff you took it through their tough little trucks
Had a 2000 nissan frontier and took it everywhere at the lake bottom on houlston mountain and it only had a set of 31inch firestone all terrains but if u ever get a chance go to hurricane creek or black mountain in Harlem Kentucky
I would drive my S-10 blazer four-wheel-drive the small ET like what you’re driving then the one without the back tire on the end through 3 feet of snow like like it was nothing that was in 4 wheel high
Hey Travis, I think I seen you are from Tennessee, dude is like to come up & 4wheel with you guys one day. What part are you from?? I live in Chattanooga & have a lifted 2000 s-10 blazer. It really is amazing how good they go.
Very nice s10! and badass videos too! I've got a 2002 s10 crew cab 4wd same color but 250,000 miles loI plan to do a lot to it & make it a one of a kind truck. I've did tons of research about 4wd issues, lifts, tire sizes, and regearing ..definitely dont wanna do a SAS! Not for me...Did you lose alot of power upgrading your rims and 31s?? Plan on doing some videos of my own after I get situated. I've got stock 235s on it now. But wanted to get some more info to see what route to go before dropping slot of money in it.
Thanks man ! I’m trying to upload more often. Been on vacation this week so it’s been pretty busy lately. Doing big things this month with my white 1st gen
Good sir, your truck would be fine and wouldn’t bottom out if you didn’t think you needed to floor it through those obstacles. Your truck would crawl through those muddy spots with no issues. I’ve driven many stock vehicles off-road with various different tires and all but about one were really good even in stock form.
A local shop here in Tennessee RPM off-road actually got this one for me. You can find them on FB and google. I had a hard time finding a rack on my own.
Its most likely the control module, I have a zr5 and the modules are known for going bad because of weak connections on the circuit board, easy fix though since it sits right on top to the right of the engine in the 4.3.
I am restoring one and I can honestly say it's one of the biggest problems in my life. You want to add an LS motor? Do you have 4 wheel drive? Good luck? Need fender flares? Good luck. Lower control arms? Yeah right.
Jeff Anderson the g80 would start to spin the 2nd tire after the other one is stuck, if it was locker the momentum of both wheels spinning evenly would not get it stuck. If you ever launch hard with a pozi you will notice that it pull to one side(that's the revolutions before it engages). A spool, locker, welded differential would pull straight.
jessemeanlt1 yes but the g80 is an electronic locker that engages after a certain difference in wheel rotation that is why it so so harsh when it does engage not the best design I will admit but I love my z
10-4 I have one completely stock that I hunt out of in the south and put it through hell. I have even had to drive by big trucks and pull them out as long as they ain’t framed out.

But even though those are higher miles, I've seen many of the 3.0s go well over 300k, highest going up to 425k all original in a windstar.

That has more ground clearance than a jeep so stop being overdramatic and drive the thing.
I’ve since then realized this lol plus I’m lifted now so I’m not too worried about it now
Travis Campbell keep making good videos
Trying my best to man lol it’s hard to work full time and do TH-cam haha
had a 4 door jimmy that I had 30x9.5s mud tires on and loved it it went where ever I wanted it to go. now I have a full size sierra 1500 with 35s

What size tires are on this truck now? I’m guessing 33x12.5s?
Looks like fun! Cant wait to test out my ZR2 Blazer!
Love the video though . Great stuff
I got same rig just not as clean with Mickey Thompson mtz's an stock wheels an it eats in the woods cant wait to watch the build
I love it. All these lifted off road vehicles in front of you and you’re the underdog. Your truck is the underdog.
It was ! It did pretty good. Had a blast with it but now I’m in a ZR2 Colorado

Thanks man! I may come see you for rock sliders lol
Heck Ya!
Did u ever fix that abs parking break light, cause i saw it at the beggening of the vid
If I had a s10 like that if you do not have skid plate I would had some pretty decent thick skid plates and a little more lift nice truck

Sounds like a good time ! Look for me in a ZR2 Colorado now.. about to sell this truck
Beautiful
I’ve made it in my ZR2 many times once in the snow!!
I want a Quad-Cab S-10 to build ❤
something i noticed my zr2 jimmy has the awd button which i thought was standard for zr2s but i didnt see one on your push button select
s10 got 4 wheel low and high and 2 wheel drive
Holstin is right behind my house and it’s a blast back in there
Y’all should go to cash hallow as well
I’ll probably head there next !

What size tires? Any lift on it?
What bumper did you have on it
I have a 2018 zr2 and it's a beast off road
Check out my latest videos 🤙 I’ve joined the Colorado gang
that's a nice place i like the water and the rocks
Where did you get your bumper
Where did you get that guard at, on the front of you’re truck??!
Just Sub because of the project. Nice so far
Awesome thanks !! Lift is coming soon lol
Gettin the same truck but with a winch, rear lockers and a lift for 3500
Do you have a facebook page of the zr2?
No the truck has been sold I’m in a ZR2 Colorado now
I have a 01 blazer 3 inch lift 31 looking at a 2 inch body lift input please

Where did you get the tubular front bumper from??? I've been trying to find one for my zr2
Travis Campbell we want to where you found that bumpers its a nice setups
No lift? Is it just the tires that give it that height ?
Bumper?

Travis Campbell, appreciate it good sir
come back and wheel with us in the bule truck and we'll show u real trails that aren't mud holes just rocks
Thank God for skid plates
Well done 👍
Is one of your abs speed sensor bad?
Probably haha I haven’t changed it yet
Travis Campbell ok cause if your abs/brake light is on usually one of your speed/abs sensor is bad..... 🤔
Its most likely the control module, I have a zr5 and the modules are known for going bad because of weak connections on the circuit board, easy fix though since it sits right on top to the right of the engine in the 4.3.
Were did you buy the front bumper? I got a s10 blazer 4.3 - 97 that Im going to lift etc.
Nice truck.
Kenny from Sweden
Is it just me or is it hard to find parts for the zr2’s
It’s awful man flares are impossible
That's why I'm replacing my fenders with non zr2 fenders

@@DAGOLFER34 Right!? Even if you find them at pick n pull good luck getting them off without breaking anything.
Where yall from ?
Were did you get your wheel flares from?
They were factory on this truck
I have a stock 2001 Blazer ZR2 that is a great machine and very capable
I just picked one up for $1500
I wish the zr2 had lockers, open front differential and pozi (g80) rear end. not a locker
jessemeanlt1 but the g80 is kind of a locker.. it would be better if you could lock it on or off though

That truck can do way more my 2.2 two wheel drive I have barried to the mirrors and made it out
Hey I’m also currently working on a zr2 project myself, would love to show you my progress, any way I can show you (via email)?
4:35 -- not center locked
The 1st part of he trail is in better shape than my driveway, slow down a little
Yeah this was back when I was stock with little experience lol
Damn thats not even rough? i have been through way worse on my 94 s10 completely stock with arctic tires they arent even 31's
Get the new ZR2.
You don’t have to go so fast over the bumps.That’s why you bottomed out.
I’ve learned a lot since this video lol sold the truck too
Only one I saw testing any limits was a Toyota??
Get some stiffer monotube shocks.
That truck bottoms out because you were going hard. That truck will crawl through everything I seen you put it through.
Since then I’ve realized this lol that was my first time wheelin so I didn’t know too much haha
10-4 I have one completely stock that I hunt out of in the south and put it through hell. I have even had to drive by big trucks and pull them out as long as they ain’t framed out.
My ZR2 could fly like a Cessna
ive got a stock 06 silverado. no lift, stock tire size and i fuckin full send'er down trails worse than that. trails that only "jeeps" can get down

You dont have to drive that fast over the pumps
