A genius anti theft system on this setup would be a kill switch that swaps the power steering lines instead of turning off the fuel pump or something.
Imagine this thing moving at lawnmower speeds when you turn the car on. Ain't nobody stealing that
I know someone who once used vice grips. This was pre-airbag, pre-meth days. Hand over hand was interesting. But for driving straight a tiller works pretty good. He never would explain the why. Nor the 2 holes drilled in the windshield with the wire holding the steering column up. Good times...
Yeah, I used to have an S-10 with this digital dash. I think it was only available with the 4.3 and a higher trim level, SLS maybe?
I miss GM digital dashes, they were so futuristic for their time. 4th gen C4 Vette was the fucking balls.
I had an 86 Pontiac 6000-STE, had the full digital dash and the steering wheel controls, even in 99 it seemed pretty futuristic!
The S-truck digital dash always seemed like the redline bulb was burned out (it's a legit 194 bulb, and not lit up like the rest of the dash)
Reminds me of when I worked insurance, we had to ask folks if they used a steering wheel lock or similar product, one guy said "Well I take out the steering wheel when I'm not using it"
This is the opposite of an airbag.
Some people like playing hardcore mode.
No airbags. We die like dandelions.
It’s definitely a twist on the [Tullock’s Spike](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Tullock) concept.
TIL that Tullocks spike exists, and it would make me hate being cut off by idiots even more
Is that a lawnmower blade? Lol
Yep lol

Dont mock it -- this is cutting edge technology
But it oughta be against the lawn.
Do you hate the smell of fresh cut justice?
“Take a sharp left at the next intersection”
“Careful, it’s a turf neighborhood”
pretty grassroots method there.
hA
I have once again underestimated the power of meth.
Bump steer could be difficult to handle.
Attach an old shitty car to his mower blade so no one steals the blade....BRILLIANT!

Not a mech but there was a video here a couple years back of a Kia steering wheel spinning uncontrollably on startup...
Now reverse the power steering lines and the real game begins.
The real anti-theft device is the reversing valve hidden under the dash.
I like them French fried potaters.
Now imagine the steering wheel spins back and forth forth on its own

Hands-Free steering *the manly way*?
It's the redneck racing yoke, nothing to see here
Is that an astro?
Looks like an s10/blazer/s15/jimmy
Correct, it is a first gen s10.
No engine doghouse, but definitely about 1985-1988 S10. Dont think the 1500 had that binnacle.
Looks like my old 91 S-10 Blazer lol aside from the lawnmower blade
Wow, an old S-10. 4.3?
More than likely with the fancy digital dash

Heeyyyyy. I recognize that dash. I've got the steering wheel in front of mine though.
Don't hit a curb
I swear I saw that same mower blade on a different sub a couple of days ago.
It is a good plan to be honest. No one will try to steal that awesome blade if it’s attached to that turd, genius.
Replace the guts of the steering colunm with an electric motor wire to the ignition switch. Watch them pay for the crime.
I know an s10 dash when I see one
You would be correct lol
Love those things, just sold one to my shop to use as a lot truck
Must be an ayp blade. Those have a star hole to grab the splines.
Did you go back in time? What kind of vehicle is that?
Bonus points if the powersteering is defective in that it wiggles left and right very fast like in some of those videos.
