Then the stock wheels and tires get tossed for some that won't wince off-road. Next, they give their Rubicon a little bling by bringing the paint back from the dead, and adding a few choice accessories and brightwork. Watch this transformation from wallflower to wall jumper!
Project S-10K continues with the insertion of a GM 350CID V-8 crate engine in the former V-6 engine bay. The Trucksters show you all the steps to make this work -- from re-using the stock front pulleys and driveshaft to fitting headers and a new torque converter. With 300HP and 326 lb-ft of torque now at the ready, this will have plenty of "Sport" to light'em up!
We're adding a safe, sane 100 horses to a 2005 GMC Duramax diesel and it won't break the bank at the pump! It's the Banks PowerPack system from Gale Banks Engineering.

We're taking what is considered one of the least desirable Jeeps and making it a true off-road machine. We'll replace a worn out straight 6 with a re-built fuel injected 350 V-8. All this, with a real world budget in mind.
Banks is known for their diesel power, but now, their invading the gas market. In this episode, the Trucks! guys will install their new gas power package into a Ford F-150 and top it off with a supercharger.
In this episode, with the power taken care of, we'll continue our Jeep YJ buildup by getting it up in the air where it belongs with an 8in lift and 37in tires.

The guys take a look back over the past season to revisit some of favorite Trucks! how-to segments and their favorite mud slinging, tire burning and frame dragging payoffs.
Today we've got our hands on one of Chevy's new Silverado's. Well put it to the test and tell you what we really think about it. Then we'll accessorize it turning it into a good looking work truck without voiding the warrantee. After that, we'll show you an easy rust removal trick that will give your grinder the day off.
We're taking our Project YJ Resurrection to some of the roughest trails around for a lot of fun and a little abuse. With its new 350 powerplant, we know we've added more grunt than the stock axles on our 1987 YJ can take. But, in case we break it, we'll just drag our YJ back to the shop and add the kind of hardware that will give our jeep some legs to earn it a new name' YJ Redemption!
We're tearing apart one of our favorite projects as Project S-10K (our budget muscle truck), gets chopped up so we can start transforming it into a full on, four-linked, supercharged, 600 plus horsepower Pro Street truck with a brand new name' Haulin' S-10!
It's the start of our low buck Bronco build up as we drag a somewhat complete 1979 Ford Bronco out of a field and strip it down to the chassis in the shop. We'll begin bringing it back to life by spending as little money as possible to make this Bronco an awesome weekend warrior that we don't mind bouncing off a few trees!
It's Part 2 of our low buck Bronco build up, and we're working over our junkyard 460 for maximum torque. After that, we're adding a reman C-6 and stiffening up the frame with just a welder. Then we'll bolt the body to the chassis to get our Bronco ready for some more low buck work!
We hit our stride with our low buck Bronco project as we smooth out some of the rough spots on the body and build in a do-it-yourself roll cage for a little protection. Then for less than $200 we're gonna paint this old Ford in a way you'd never expect! It's a radical but inexpensive paint job that will christen this low buck buildup' Das Bronco!
Where did the Lightning go? Since Ford doesn't make their popular muscle truck any more, we're taking things into our own hands with the help of Roush Performance. First we'll do a test drive of Ford's 2007 F-150 and let you know what we think about it. Then, it's back in the shop to add a supercharger and all the right speed parts to make our version of a 500 plus horsepower Roush Stage 3 F-150.
We're taking our 500 plus horsepower blown Roush Stage 3 F-150 out on the road to unleash it's inner 'Lightning' and then we'll do some braking tests to see just how effective aftermarket pads and rotors can be over stock. And then, it's the return of our drag truck Haulin' S-10 for even more big, bad, blown power. We're wedging in a 600 plus horsepower supercharged small block that will be backed up by one of the toughest transmissions around to get us closer to making our first trip down the quarter-mile.
We're bringing one of your favorite projects back from last year. 'Body Bag', our frame dragging, spark throwing mini-truck returns to get some awesome suicide doors and some radical sheet metal work for this 'creepy' mini-truck. And then, we'll take you to the refinery to show you how racing motor oil is made and it's a lot more involved than you think.
You won't believe it but, we're taking a 1966 Chevy C-10 and cutting it in half! We're not crazy
It's judgment day on the high seas' well, at least on the highway as we roll project 'Das Bronco' out of dry dock to wage war against any off road trails that may challenge our 460 cubic inch powered low buck Bronco. Then we'll get one step closer to getting Project 'Haulin' S-10' ready for the drag strip!
Hold your ears 'cause today we're putting the fuel and a big spark our blown 355 in Project Haulin' S-10! We'll plumb the fuel system, run all the wiring harnesses and make contact on our 600 plus horsepower blown V-8 for the first time.

Today on Trucks! we're gonna use an air suspension kit to get a brand new GMC Denali rolling close to the ground and riding on 24 inch wheels. Then, it's what you guys asked for, it's a segment where we 'Rewind' the tape back to a past build and show you more detail on how we solved a past problem. This week, it's fixing the dented up fender from Project Das Bronco.
Today, we'll take you out of the shop to two of the best places around and have our 1966 Chevy C-10's frame media blasted and powdercoated. Then, it's back to the shop to install a brand new air suspension that will make our '66 C-10 ride better than a brand new truck!
Today we're taking a stock Chevy Avalanche and raising it up to give it a better stance and a much better look. We'll also give it new wheels and tires and a power upgrade that's so easy - it's 'plug and play'. Finally, with some TV magic, we'll mock up some stripes on Project Haulin' S-10 to see what looks best when it comes to a graphic design.
Today we finally unleash Haulin' S-10 on one of our favorite tracks! We'll recap the entire project from start to finish then hit one of the best 1/8 mile drag strips anywhere to shake her down! Then, we'll work on finding the right combination to see just how quick and fast this street and strip rocket will go!
Today, Project Hot Rod Truck gets its drivetrain in the form of a hot small block Ford V8, a 6 speed manual transmission, a one piece driveshaft and a bullet proof rear end. It's a driveline guaranteed to smoke Project HRT's massive 22 inch wide rear tires!
Today we'll show you one of easiest ways to boost power in your everyday work truck. It's literally 'plug & play' power that provides more horses and we'll put our truck on the dyno to prove it!
More and more manufactures are beginning to offer an almost endless variety of part to customize your new truck before you even leave the showroom. We'll show you how to make your truck uniquely yours including some gadgets you won't believe and you can roll the cost of these upgrades right into your truck payment!
With the driveline in place, now it's time to work on the body of our Hot Rod Truck project and you'll want to pay close attention because this truck's skin is made of fiberglass not metal. Don't worry, glass work is not as hard as you think and we'll show just how it's done.
We'll take a look back at all the awesome projects and payoffs from the past year including YJ Resurrection, Das Bronco, Project HRT and Haulin' S-10. Then, we'll take a look forward to what's to come from the hearts, heads and hands of the Trucks! team!
It's the start of our all new MuscleTrux series and to kick it off, it's the oldest matchup in the book- Ford versus Chevy. Ryan's taking a 1990 454 SS Chevy while Kevin's picking a '94 Ford Lightning. Today, we're gonna find out just how much these two trucks will put out in their stock form so each guy can formulate a secret plan to push both of these trucks towards the 400 horsepower mark! Then later in the season, we'll pit them head to head to see which one comes out on top.
Bowtie boy Ryan has got a big play for using big displacement to make big power for his entry in our first MuscleTrux series matchup. Kevin is not allowed in the shop as Ryan adds new heads, a new valve train, a pro-flo EFI throttle body, and intake to his 454 to wake up the potential in this big V-8!
It's Blue Oval boy Kevin's turn to take over the shop and kick Ryan out as he takes a radical approach to more power by turbocharging his V-8! Hidden under the bed, a tailpipe turbo spins up the boost while bigger fuel injectors and a new fuel management system pump up the power on this big red Ford.
We're taking a wrecked 1988 Jeep Cherokee and fixing it for as little money as possible! We'll show you how to inspect the damage and how to pull the frame back into shape the right way.

Today we're painting Project HRT! First, we'll plan out what makes for a great looking and timeless paint job and then it's off to the booth to spray more than a dozen different layers of paint. And after that, we'll put all the pieces back together to make metal, fiberglass and paint become Project HRT and it's wearing the coolest paint job to ever roll out of the Trucks! shop.
We're getting our Project Cheep Cherokee ready for the trails and since it needs some better legs to stand on, we're adding a lift kit and swapping in our new junk yard 8.8 inch rear axle. Then up front, we'll upgrade our differential and get our XJ riding on much bigger wheels and tires.
Our Project Haulin' S-10 started out to be a street & strip truck but, somewhere along the way, our machine became much more strip than street. So today, we're dumping the rest of the slow parts and adding a looser torque convertor, steeper rear end gears and a trans-brake so we can go back to the track and really turn up the wick on our full blown drag truck!
It's been one of our least expensive projects ever and now that it's done, we're taking our Project Cheep Cherokee out to Kentucky's beautiful Land Between the Lakes Recreation Area for some off-road fun and challenge! We'll roll over everything from the highway to get there to the roughest dirt trails and even take on the boulder strewn Rock Garden to see just how far our budget XJ will take us.
It's another shot in our MuscleTrux series as Kevin's 1994 Ford Lightning prepares for battle by getting a suspension overhaul with a lowering kit, new brakes, and much better tires. It's a new found stance and new found handling to let Kevin take advantage of all his new found power from his tailpipe turbo setup.
Ryan returns fire as his 1990 Chevy 454 SS also gets dropped down into the weeds with its very own lowering kit, new brakes, wheels and tires. Matching stance for stance with Kevin's Lightning, Ryan's getting his big block Chevy ready to go head to head with the Ford in our MuscleTrux series. Also, we'll show you how to breathe new life into your worn out GMC or Chevrolet truck by doing a simple, hand tools only engine swap and it's easier than you think!
Project Cheep Cherokee was a big hit this season so, we're taking it up a notch with our 5 Grand Cherokee project.
