Re: My Build Begins!
yep,its easer the earlier it is,even with those big lugs like steps,they get a little slick and messy when coated with mud.thats really about the only way in.

Re: My Build Begins!
i think "new" the msrp is around $6500 EACH for just the tires,rims are another $1k.
i have less than $800 in all 4 wheels,tires,tubes and centers.deals are out there,just gotta look.

Re: My Build Begins!
hey all! help me find a decent used soft top and ill gladly ditch the tarp
![]() i just cant see spending big money on one to cover with mud,rub against trees and such,would gladly pay a fair price for a used one tho,maybe someone wants to upgrade theirs for a new one?! sounds like snow forecasted for the weekend,since the blazer has no top or heater,weve nick-named the play time the polar bear club runs! so were planning a big one if we get some snow,ill get some more pics and videos. big j--thanks not sure bout color,prob just go flat black,something cheap and easy to touch up,its gonna be brown most of the time anyhow ![]() well i know the limiting straps are a bit redneck,but they work,were cheap,and can easily be repaired or replaced when broken.(the theory ive tried to follow this whole build)TRIED TO FOLLOW
