Re: My new toy, dub'd "The BIG Unit" by a previous owner!

An update, but no picts Anyways the sweet 68 clip is on it and unfortunately the 5-lug got pulled the other day!? I bought the burb and intended to use the 5-lug stuff on the 2wd Blazer build I am doing for lksdcvn, so the rear is under the Blazer now. This all got my wheels a turnin' and a 4X is what I came up with!! I have a coil sprung Dana 60 with a posi and 3.54's so I'll flip the trailing arms to the top of the axle and a new set of coils to get 3-4" of lift on the rear and then some DIY4X leaf spring hangers for the front!! I am going w/the longer leafs in the front to soften the ride and add the transfer case etc. Once it is together and I enjoy it a bit, I plan to go coils for the front as well, this isn't going to be a crawler or really even a wheeler, but a capable vehicle that runs like a scalded dog, rides like a caddy and wheels when the white stuff falls, picts to come ASAP I promise!!
