Truck Pic's

Since I seem to be going stupid with my camera, I thought I'd throw a couple pictures of the Blazer on the board as well. All I've done since buying it has been to fix all the leaks and go through the drive train to make it somewhat reliable (new axles, ball joints, exhaust, steering box, etc.) Oh yeah, I gutted the interior and heating system to get rid of the mouse piss smell !



Here's a couple of pic's showing the exhaust tip on the exhaust that I recently built





It was night outside so I took these pictures in my garage. They're not the greatest pictures, because I couldn't back up far enough to fit the whole truck in.

The truck was totally stock and untouched when I picked it up off the farm. I will keep all the original parts, if I ever want to go back to stock, but I will modernize it a little (10" lift, 44' boggers, just kidding!). I will probably put a 4" lift and some 33 or 31 inch tires on it and a updated interior, along with a 700 R and more powerful 350.

I like it...
I have a brand new E-Z ride 4" lift...it's installed but it's never been driven. Ya want it? I'm going to go 2.5" w/my 33's.
Basically for ride quality. If I were to keep the 4" I'd have to put 35's on just to make it look "right"
Nice blazer skid. Fix 'em, drive 'em, keep 'em!!

Is that a Skyjacker Lift Kit? That's the brand I want to buy. I want front and rear springs. So 33's with a 4 in lift look too small?

Lift

Nope, it's a E-Z ride lift by tough country...it is an all spring lift though.
If you want to see 4" lift w/33's check out a post called
"pics for vtblazer" in this section (blazer section) that's my blazer with that combo on it.
I only say I'd have to run 35's w/4" lift because they'd fit.
