Re: Updated pics of my Blazer

is that the black or wood trim? although the wood is proper to mine, i'm not sure I want to install it. I may go with black. Yours looks killer

Re: Updated pics of my Blazer

talk about two thumbs up! That's killer. What size lift do you have? How much ca$h have you put into your paint (i don't blame you if you don't feel comfortable saying). Very nice.

We want more!

Pull it out side and give us the full view, inside and out. (please)

Blazers wear the orange really well, very sharp ride.

Re: Updated pics of my Blazer

GMC71k20- The tires are Goodyear MTR's, the rims are Mickey Thompson.

makovai- I'm still working on the inside, basically I just need new carpet, the seats are out of a 1997 suburban they look and fit great.

jakeslim- The trim is woodgrain, everyone that has seen the blazer in person thinks it looks a lot better with the trim on (only one side is done right now)

Medicanman71- 4" tuff country springs in the front with ORD shackels and geaseable bushings. 4" block with an add a leaf in the rear and a 3" body lift. As far as the paint goes it's just a garage painted base coat clear coat paint job. I didn't want something so nice that I'd be afraid to drive it.

Yukon Jack & vtblazer- It been raining here for the last week and dosen't look like it's going to end anytime soon, but when it does I'll back it out and get some pics.

72CSTC5- Don't worry, as soon as it gets warm and sunny I plan on driving it all over the place. Hopefully I'll even get it out to the dunes this year.

Re: Updated pics of my Blazer

Looks awesome-

So does it fit under the garage door okay?

That's my next Blazer project when I get my engine done - to put in an 8' garage door - Mine won't fit in the garage with the top on - it just clears with no rollbar & top off...

It clears the door by about 4 inches or so. When I had my garage built, my builder told me if I put an 8' door it should clear a truck with a 6 in suspension lift and a 3 in body lift.

I just built my garage last summer and only put a 7' door on it. It cleared my 9" with the 35's if i took the molding off the garage and let a little air out of the tires. Well now i have the 36's on it but i used 10" wheels so its almost a push, but i do have to let just a little extra air out of the tires now.

BTW your rig might be the sweetest on this board, man is it sharp.
