My buddy some sent me some pics of the truck. Cant wait to go and see it in person. I had the interior sprayed with Rhino Lining before it was painted. It looks like it might need a touch up. Also, it has the dash pad from LMC installed.

Nice progress! looking really nice. As for the rims I like them Old School. Running some 33's or 35's BGF Muds with some 15x12's MT Classic II's or better yet MT Challengers (No Longer Made)

@ CTENTA1,

Thanks for the input. I am leaning towards the 33's for the Blazer. I just can't decide if I should go with 20" wheels or smaller. I know everyone is thinking that 20" wheels will look weird but I think they might work out. Still Undecided!!!

Have you seen this one? I am not usually a fan of huge wheels, but I gotta say... looks pretty sweet to me.

20's with 33" tires is a little short on the side wall for a 4x4... I would go with 18's and 33's or 20's with 35's .... When I walk throught the parking lot at work I always look at rim/tire size to get an idea...

That was my concern as well. I didn't want the truck to look like it was all wheels and no tires. Thanks for the advice!

I worked on the transfer case for a while on Thursday. Being the novice that I am to this type of thing I was intigued to find out what the "NP" on the transfer case stood for. But now I know it stands for New Process, I think! I am still working on how to remove the internal piece of the TC adapter in order to install the one from AA. It has a small washer that looks like it needs to be removed first. I will have to try and remove it later this week. While I planned to take the adapter to the machine shop on this past Friday, my 51%, AKA the wife, had other plans for my weekend.
