Ultimate wish-list!!
So, I'm a pretty big fan of "Overhaulin'" on TLC. While I'm not a "bling" type personality I usually LOVE the way the cars on that show turn out.
They do some rediculous stuff on that show. ![]() Anyways, to the point of this post. If you got your blazer "overhauled" what would be the items on you're ultimate wish-list? I don't think they would be able to finish all of the things that I'd want done to mine, but if they could, I'd hope they did this: Wish list for 1972 K5 Blazer Duramax Diesel - or 8.1 vortec ZF-6 manual transmission Doubler - (Off-Road Design or Klune-V) Rock Jock 60 Front 5.13's ARB 35 spline outer's (maybe Rocks front & rear) - disk brakes all-around van 14 bolt rear with disks & working parking brake - (maybe out of the same donor for the engine & transmission) Vanco hydro assist brake system hydraulic ram assist power steering - (Howe, PSC, Redneck Ram stage 2 I already have a new box) "hi-steer" crossover steering 39-42" tires with staun internal beadlocks on widened factory HD alloy wheels trim, trim, trim fenders to keep tires from ripping them up - maybe some bushwacker cut-out flares for a vintage burb. warn winch(es) 9500 ti minimum LOW COG!! York OBA with 3-gallon storage Ready-welder - Premier power box & alternator Under hood shower simple dual optima setup - marine switch, big fuse (batteries mounted along framerail in front of rear springs) Electric cooling fans with manual override for water-crossings elevated gear box & axle breather's for water crossings "water-proofed" mechanicals for water crossings functional cowl-induction hood with relocated air-intake "POR"ed (or zero-rust) frame for rust prevention Custom Flat belly-skid plate - "Massage" ![]() 63" leafs in rear (custom frame mounts with shackle-flip) about 4-5" lift - Sway-A-Way resevoir shocks center mounted traction bar to limit axle wrap, but not articulation - like Sam's off-road 52" leafs in front (custom frame mounts) about 4-5" lift - Sway-A-Way resevoir shocks Full "family-style" Cage - kinda like this, but with seat mounts & overhead stringers around the console full-length 2X6 tube rocker sliders w/ tubular step like All-pro's for toyota's, but actually welded to the 2X6 tube replacing the rockers Single exhaust tip to exit through p/r quarter in front of rear tire (above rock slider for protection) custom fuel tank with integrated steel diamond plate skid custom aux fuel tank where oem is currently with skid Custom canvas soft top (for when the camper isn't on) - Oh I wish Can-Back would make more than one of these Tubular bumpers like Off-Road design's version & something similar in back with full-sized spare capabilities, as well as 60" hi-lift, shovel autometer phantom gauges in factory bezel additional gauges along a-pillar if needed tahoe seats - (split removable 3rd seat in rear) in tan nice sound system that doesn't take up much space automated 8" flip-down touchscreen above rear view mirror for carpc interface "spotter" camera's in wheelwells protected somehow (lexan) front-facing camera & rear-view camera that automatically switches on when put in reverse vintage air a/c heat system - maybe smooth firewall no carpet (hose-outable) - already have a perma-tech liner in it. Form follows Function!! It has to work first, then look cool! Now keep in mind that this is a "pie in the sky" money, time, & talent is no object, type of fantasy, that I don't think even the "great Foose" could finish in one month, much less a week. Is that a run-on sentence? ![]() But I'd sure like to see him try. ![]() What do you guys think? Later,
