Re: New Blazer pic's..
Sweet Blazer. How'd you smooth the cap like that? did you peel off the stock skin/handle and replace it with aluminum or stainless?
My luck I'd forget it at the gas station again. I've lost two of them there in the last year. |
Re: New Blazer pic's..
I went and got a new cap from the Auto place then put some spot welds on the back side then took the plastic handle off and welded it up on the front side, then took the grinder to it. It will be painted black like the blazer. That was a pic that I took right after I made it.
Thanks for the input.. I see you on here helping out everyone, you beat me to allot of the tech threads good job on that. later, Trav |
Re: New Blazer pic's..
Thanks! I try to help!
Here's the other option I was thinking of for my cap to prevent my stupidity in leaving caps at gas stations. http://www.iboats.com/SeaDog_Stainle...view_id.237367 It might take a little trimming on the tube, but it would be nice and smooth. |

I Spot welded the air bag brackets on the back today and found a new place for the air pump. I hope to have everything welded up on Monday. With the air out on the bags it will sit on the frame and tuck about 4" of tire.:metal:

Re: New Blazer pic's..
Sweet Blazer!!!! Lots of work. I spent 3 years on mine, drove it 2 and sold it. Miss it sometimes. Oct 2004 TOTM.
Keep up the good work. Doug |
Re: New Blazer pic's..
Looking good man!!!!:metal: I am going to move my air comp. outside as well. There sure is ALOT of trial and error in building these air ride systems.:b69:

Re: New Blazer pic's..
Thanks man, sorry you sold it. I have seen your blazer looks good.

Re: New Blazer pic's..

Re: New Blazer pic's..
Are you still running the leaf spring set up with just a single spring to line up the axle? I was thinking of doing this with my 47 1/2 ton and I'm curious to see how it works for you. Any plans of a track bar?
By the way, I love your Blazer! |

Here is some pic's with it all the way up and all the way down.
(Onedayjake) I am running the leaf spring set up, but I did not take any out. I have to much motor just to run one leaf. It should work out good I will keep you updated. Here is a pic of the setup. Thanks. |
Re: New Blazer pic's..
I see now that you have the axle flipped to the top. I love the stance and can't wait to see it finished!
|
Re: New Blazer pic's..
Awesome, Blazer looks sick when its layed out. I agree I am usually into the lifted trucks but that is such a nice dropped Blazer! Great job.

Thanks man!!!
