Another nice Blazer from the NW

I thought you guy might like to see another nice Blazer. I met Jeremy the owner last weekend when he was buying a Blazer Rear seat from me. He did not have the rig with him, but after he described it to me, I asked that he e-mail me some pictures to put on the board here. It has a SBC with a blower under the hood, 12 inches of suspension lift and 38.5 Swampers. The interior is all that is waiting to be finished so that is why he needed the seat. I invited him to join the board here, so hopefully he will consider it.

Its a nice blazer but in my opinion it needs bigger tires or a smaller lift.

Looks like he's done a nice job on it. Where's he located?

I'd have to have a trampolin to get in that rig, but it shore do look nice.

Re: Another nice Blazer from the NW

That is beautiful, but I guess it could use bigger tires.

Re: Another nice Blazer from the NW

The story on the lift and tire size is kind of funny. The lift was suppose to be a 10 inch, so he went home and put it on. A couple of days later the place that sold it to him called and said that they had gave him a 12 inch by mistake. Now he has a "used" lift and his wife his wife all ready thinks that it is to tall and taller tires are out of the questions.

Bouncy, the owner describes himself as a private person, so I will honor his request and not reveal more then it is in Oregon. His private nature is one reason he has never joined a forum. He has visited us here and does enjoy it though.

Re: Another nice Blazer from the NW

The place that sold him the lift should give him the proper lift because it was their mistake.

Totally understand wanting to stay private, especially in a public forum where you never know who is reading it.

Re: Another nice Blazer from the NW

Re: Another nice Blazer from the NW

Looks really nice that color!

When is he hoping to be able to drive it?
Should be ready for summer fun, seeing where it's at now.

Any idea of the gear ratio he's running?

Strike another beauty for the left cost.

Re: Another nice Blazer from the NW

What a beauty! Would enjoy seeing more pics including the engine bay and interior once it is done. Gotta like an SBC with a blower!
