Well guys, it's been a while since I've posted anything on this thread. I've been driving the hell out of the Blazer having fun. I've decided to go fuel injection on it. I picked this TPI set up recently and was wondering what kind of things to look out for and what parts mix and match the best. I still haven't put the body mounts on yet, but they'll be on itn the spring. I also plan to put on an external swing away tire carrier that I got frm Jaybird. Thanks again Jaybird. I look foward to some input on the TPI.

Hmmmmmm, no feed back yet???? Someone has to be running this set up already.

BLUE THUNDER · 02-11-2011, 08:58 PM

Has anyone modded a swing out tire carrier to hold a jerry can?

BLUE THUNDER · 03-27-2011, 11:46 PM

I got inspired today and work on the Blazer. I scored and old school push bar and a swing out tire carrier. I got out this morning and gave the Blazer a facelift. I think it turned out great. Let me know what ya'll think.

That looks damn nice. You do good work. Changes the whole look of the truck. Nice job.

BLUE THUNDER · 03-28-2011, 06:53 AM

Thanks 49. I still have a lot of work to do, but I like driving it so much that I just can't bring myself to start tearing it down and cutting out the rust. I plan to drive it for a couple of years before that. Thanks again though.

That swing out carrier makes it look awesome!Probably more functional as well.Great job so far!Im thinking of running a tune port set up on my blazer as well,so if you get any good info you will have to share it with me!

Hey Blue, looks great. I'm glad you were able to put it use.

BLUE THUNDER · 03-28-2011, 07:21 PM

Thanks again Jaybird. It's awesome.

Bull72 · 04-14-2011, 12:03 AM

Looks good, it does change the whole look of the truck.

Blizz · 04-14-2011, 02:57 AM

I can't believe I missed it the other day. It does look good. Good job.

BLUE THUNDER · 04-14-2011, 07:55 PM

Thanks guys. There is a lot more to come. I love working on my rig and sharing the progress. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates.

BLUE THUNDER · 12-08-2011, 10:48 PM

Well, it's nearly winter here and I guess it's time to start working on Ol' yeller again. I really want to take the top iff this spring so I think the body mounts are next. Will post some pics of that nightmare in the next couple of weeks.

Body mounts are not that bad if they haven't rusted solid...I had to drill mine out.

Good luck Mario! Keep the pics and progress coming.
