Winter again....and going home

Just thought I'd share some pictures and say that I'm finally going back home for about a month before I get shipped out to the Land of the Rising Sun. I'm shipping the Blazer back home mainly because I have some sort of electrical draw somewhere and I can seem to find it...go figure huh, and I'll be driving around my stepside for the first time in a year. Fun times ahead, can't wait to detail my blazer back home (everytime I try here in NY, the compound or water freezes...not so good)

Re: Winter again....and going home

Nice blazer, looks like lower than a 3/4 drop? What wheel tire size combo are you running?

Re: Winter again....and going home

You're right. The weather up there is dreadful. Send that smooth ride down south. I'll take care of it...

Thanks. It looks lower because I didn't change out the springs when I put the 454 in it, the nose dropped a good 1.5". The wheel and tire size are 15x8and 15x10 TTII's with 255/60's in the front and 275/60's in the rear. Although I'm swapping my tires from the stepside over to the blazer and putting my newer TTII's on it and selling these older ones.

Thanks tvblazer, much appreciated especially comeing from you. The engine compartment is coming back apart when I get it back home so I can repaint everything in there and so I can fabricate a fan shroud and something to hold the overflow tank.
