Re: New Blazer pic's..
Thank you all for the nice replys. I wll have more pic's of it this weekend with the hood and bumper on it.
Big Block, you are right it's about 2" off the ground. But when I drive it's about 5"-6" off the ground. That's why I love air ride. I had my exhaust put on today and I had to drive it up on a rack, if I did not have air ride I could have not made it up on it. The guy exhaust place said you are not going to make it up on the rack and then I hit the air and it went up 6" made it on up with out hitting anything, that guy did not say anything but you could see it ( Holy SH$$) with his lips. that was so funny... Thanks, Trav

Re: New Blazer pic's..
My son and I went riding in the Blazer today and he went to sleep in his car seat before I got out of the driveway. It must be the motor? Let me know what you all think of the pic that I took.
Thanks Trav.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
although I'm not a big fan of drops, that is a nice looking Blazer!
somehow the city settings works perfectly for a blazer like that!

Re: New Blazer pic's..
TV- Are you running a stock fuel tank? I need to try to build a "hidden" hitch for mine behind the roll pan, any suggestions? Pics look great!

Re: New Blazer pic's..
Thanks man..
I am running the stock tank, I think it is 25 gal's. I had to cut allot of the frame off to make the roll pan work. I am not sure if you could make a hitch fit with a stock tank and roll pan. You my need to look into a custom tank that is a little smaller. Good luck!! Trav

Re: New Blazer pic's..
Looks great man, your making some really fast progress! A couple questions if you dont mind. I dont really know a lot about bags yet but I assume you didnt have to do anything to the crossmember? and in the side shots you have posted the rear is completly aired out? maybe I missed it but how tall are the rear tires or size? thanks
Adam

Re: New Blazer pic's..
Thanks man!! Looks like you have some sweet rides too.
The crossmember I had to make, I made it out of 2x2 box tub. But you my not need to do that. I did it for the 3" pipes out of the headers. And look at the last pic on page 3 that one is with all the air out on all 4 bags. Later, Trav Quote:

Re: New Blazer pic's..
I have decided to turn my 82 in to a 73-80 style. I have some ideas that I want to put in effect and the styling of the earlier front end plays a part in that.
Now if I can just locate a clean 73-80 front clip.....

Re: New Blazer pic's..
Love your Blazer, reminds me of the Solid jet black 82 2 wheeler I had with a 5, 7 drop. I will try to scan some pics for you. Before digital camera days!

Re: New Blazer pic's..
I really like the looks of the aircleaner/breather. Did you make it or is it purchased. I've never seen one like that before. Great looking ride BTW. One of the sharpest black ones I have ever seen. Kevin

Re: New Blazer pic's..
Thank you Kevin45 & Thealien
Kevin45, I did make it, I made it out of an old air cleaner top and bass and cut a 3" pipe in half then welded it all around the back side. Then put two 3" tubs out the front of it. The next step is putting my 3" tubes back on it, like in this pic. But they will come strate out the front not out to the side like in this pic. Thanks for your input. Trav

On another note, I used your angle shot of the Blazer as my wallpaper and the wife saw it amnd fell in love with it. Now she wants me to keep my eye out for one. When her and I first got together she had an '85 4wd but she wouldn't mind me making one into a 2wd for her. So maybe I'll have me a new project before long Kevin

Re: New Blazer pic's..
Kevin,
Sorry about that, I was doing about three things at once when I typed that up. You are right, it was a 3" U shape pipe. I will see if I can find some pic's for you. Give me a day or two to find them. That is very cool that you are using a pic of my blazer as wallpaper. Thanks for the kind words. Good luck on finding a blazer. Later, Trav Quote:

Re: New Blazer pic's..
Your blazer just made 2 decisions for me, Paint and tires/wheels. I wanted to paint it black and put all the factory trim on it.(like my dad's old truck from back in the day) Your blazer just solidified the paint choice. I was looking at those exact same tires/wheels in 15" though, but the 17" looks like they fit the truck better. Sweet A$$ Blazer!!!
