Climb the tire?

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.

i have less than $800 in all 4 wheels,tires,tubes and centers.deals are out there,just gotta look.

nitrojunkie383 · 12-17-2009, 11:03 AM

I like the soft top option you got going for ya. Nice work, nice blazer. Post some more vids when you can.

Big J · 12-17-2009, 12:30 PM

Andy it looks like tons of fun. You did a fantastic job! Are there any plans on paint? I dig those limiting straps.

tallhoedude · 12-17-2009, 03:55 PM

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

watahyahknow · 12-17-2009, 04:54 PM

you could make some verry good working straps from seatbelts , his stuff is amazing strong . you can lift engines with it
