Rehab 2wd blazer

Ok boys and girls, its been over a year now for me even pulling the cover off my blazer. So its time to pull it out and make some up dates i have been wanting to do for a long time. So the blazer is going into rehab.

First thing i wanted to do was make some inners for the front, but i end up finding some slush tubes that look killer, so i ended up getting a set. One more thing i wanted to do was move the battery to the back under side of the blazer.

So cutting the stock hangers off and changing my bag mounts and shock mounts to make everthing fit and look better. Also making some C-Notches to get the back down a little lower. Hope to start working on it this week end. Below pics of the new tubs.

Lower? I think the stance is perfect! Did you fix the yoke?

Re: Rehab 2wd blazer

Well the Blazer is going to be on held for the next 3-4 weeks, have to work on my dually, this has to tow the blazer. This is what happen when someone pulls out in front of you and the bad thing is the truck has been sitting in my drive way for 3 week and I said its going to be a nice day so I drove it to work and here you go. Bad thing is the truck only has 63k miles on it and its a 94 stock paint.

I keep telling myself that, but its hard to do when you have so much to do and no time to do it. But I am doing some updates when its down.
