Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
Hey thanks for the comments guys. I grabbed the wrong camera yesterday. Pics are BIG.
Anyhow. The trim rings on the back, they'll be going. I never had time to paint the rear rims. I didn't want to put my NOS trim on them only for pics. Stay tuned for more pics later today. Black rims are going on. I just hope the rain stops so I can pull it outside. |

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
How's the AirPod? Got enough air for you?

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
Keith, not really knowing from one system to another. I guess it works well. I can get 1.5 air up's. The compressor's don't bother me. I like lowrider sounds.
![]() Here are the black rim pics. Like I said, No trim yet. I would like feed back first. Driverside pics are Astro van centers. Passenger pics are late model centers. I had a couple more of those, but they came out poorly. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
This pic is showing the cool wing label. I asked them to line the wings with the valve stem. This is the closest one.
![]() ![]() The old fonts are 235/60/15...New, 215/70/15. ![]() Old rears, 255/60/15...New, 275/60/15. With the new rear tires, aired out on drivers side I can stick a finger between the rubber & well. Passenger, about a finger.5... Here is my solution for the day for my exhaust. I kinda like the idea, just needs refinement. It's louder and more rumble...That's it for today. ![]() |

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
Looks good. FYI it is possible to run the exhaust over the rear when aired out if you are not running a step notch. My rear diff touches the floor and I have 2.5" exhaust exiting out the back.

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
HRHOMI, I will at some point in the future get exhaust, over the rear tails. This is just to get by for now.

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
Really like the black rims.
Honestly think I'd have to see the caps to decide...both look good. I do vote trim rings though. (small style of course) It's the last bit needed to set it off... That or a set of 20's ![]()

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
Charlie,... I'm still a silver ralley fan. (The only color in my mind) That's just me though.
I vote silver, late model c10 caps, and small trim rings.

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
I'm so use to seeing silver rallys. The black looks odd to me. It's black over load. Kinda bummed. Thought it would look better than that.
I do like the Astro caps and black, they need trim, bad. But, I think I like the silver and 1500 caps best over all. Just trying something different. Jon, 20's. One day. I just like rallys. I had to play around. For sale: black rally rim set. ![]() |

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
O.K. I had to pop the trim on the black rims. They look 100% better.
I'm also wondering if maybe having the white letters out, if that would look too over the top. Or is that a thumbs up idea? I like both center caps with the trim rings. I think I'll run like this for a while, switch caps back and fourth. Some things have to grow on you. And I don't want to change the tires all around. Not yet anyways. Oh, and has anyone noticed the silver painted slots? The rims really look better in person. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

He did have the silver rallys on if you check back a page. I personally like the black better...but I can imagine how tight his blazer would be with some chromed or polished 20's

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
Leave the white letters in.
I'd just scuff the black wheels and paint them silver if you decide to switch. I wouldn't dismount them. Actually do what you want. It's your truck. I'm just trying to get it the way I like it, so I can buy it off of you, for a steal. (J/K) You know,... a quick fix for the wheel dilema would be to buy some 20's from Billet Specialties. Let me see,... which ones do I,... I mean,... you,... want to buy,...

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
I personally really like the look of the rims with the rings and no letters out. I like white letters out with some trucks but not yours...
20's would be even better though ![]()

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
Bagged74, no worries, that's funny. I like the silver also.
Jon, I like them black also. I guess it's just our opinion. ![]() Keith, I'll put you in my will. That's the best I can do. ![]() Very funny though. Oh, and I'd paint the black rims silver. I put a ton of paint on them. They'll paint crack if I put more on them. The silver set is the nicer set also. No biggie, I have a tire machine and balance I can use. |

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
Just went back to look at the silver rallys and noticed this. Did I miss something or is this caliper on the wrong side??putting the bleeder on the bottom??

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
Well, between what VetVette said and what the diagnoses points to. I will be removing the Gas tank again. Apparently I may have a open ground issue. I get to buy a multimeter for the shop. Never had one before.
![]() I took a couple more outside pics before I pull the tank. I'm liking the black rims. I think it looks Gooood. ![]() I have a couple of stock caps. I like that look also. I actually have 4. 2 have holes in them though. Oh yea, I forgot, they made Blazers in 4 wheel drive also. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Project "Vertically Challenged"
