Re: 2wd Blazer Curb Weight

Yeah, i'll keep you updated once it's on the road. I'm going LS, aluminum wheels, single wall top, porterbuilt rear suspension with coilovers, and no limit front IFS with coilovers. Rob at no limit says the aftermarket IFS is ~100 lbs less than the factory 2wd IFS.

Of course the turbo setup adds a decent amount of weight. We'll have to see.

Sounds cool, the lighter the better

Is it getting painted? I'm going to tear mine down for paint, and I have really been wanting fiberglass bolt on fenders and hood that functions with a factory latch. Would even love a fiberglass tailgate if it worked with the factory latch. A little work to make it all look as it should and no one would be the wiser

Don't know of anyone making stuff like that for these though unfortunately, but I'd do it if it was out there.
