"Turns out I'll be needing a trans cover, got one of those for me?"
I've got a spare, high hump right? One with the transfer case hole and one without. Pm if interested. Looks to be a great start. |

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
I like that setup....
I know you have a few projects but here's a blazer near my house for sale... Guy was looking for around $900, I would love to build a trail rig but i'm knee deep in mine and no place to house another toy. http://lancaster.craigslist.org/pts/761823029.html

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
OOOOOk I thought this was the one you were flippin'. Now I see why your going the extra mile.... Cage and all... I bet it will ride real nice with those tires and springs. You should get a set of those nice metal finished Bilstein shocks for it..... They look cool. Not sure how they ride though.
