My friend has a '94 Warrior that he wants to trade, I offered to trade my '89 s-10 for it.

The s-10- The body on it is rough. It is an extended cab short bed, 4x4, 5 speed with a 2.8L fuel injected v-6. It has about 116,000 miles on it. It runs fine, just the control arms are starting to fail bcs of how rusty they are. Oh yeah, it has no headliner and the stario sucks, and it takes a screwdriver just to get the tailgate open.

The Warrior- All stock except for Kenda Bearclaws on the rear (70% tread) and DG alloy series nerf bars. It has no brakes and the clutch is stripped out completely. No rips in the seat, and no cracks in the plastic. It also has some electrical problems, so you have to roll it down a hill to get it started. But other than that, it's in ok mechanical condition, theres no knocking or ticking comming from the engine, it doesn't skip or sputter any, and the tranny shifts fine, no grinding or getting stuck between gears.

I mean, we have 5 other cars that I can drive, and I want another project to work on without the pressure of going a job for someone else. And yes I would drive it often, just like I do with all 3 my other quads. Idk if I'm makin a good decision or not, any input would be helpfull.

 

if you have 5 other cars and only 3 other quads, i'd trade and even them out!

 

Well, with the s-10 we have 6 cars, so that means we'd have to buy another quad! Lol.

 

Keep in mind, if you do go ahead and trade, the space you made available would be room for at least 3 more quads.

If the s-10 is just sitting around collecting dust, and it's not anything collectible, I'd say go ahead and trade it for something you'll use.

 

I was hoping to use it as a trail quad, one of the faults with my a-arms is if the heim joints get splashed with water they tend to want to lock up, and that really doesn't help in the trails when I run into a river or mud hole.

 

He just told me that he put a new clutch, starter, and some electronics in it, so now it starts and drives good now.

 

i see a good trade there.

 

I had a 99 warrior a couple years ago. It was fun, but I outgrew it and the suspension fairly quickly. Looking back I should have just saved a little more and got a 400ex. Way better suspension and a bigger motor. Try to sell that S-10 and a 400ex shouldn't be hard to save for.
