It's called golf because all the other four letter words were taken.

Damn that's sweeeeeeet, to say the least!
how ya get in the back?

I dropped my blazer off to get lifted today! Big dicks susp. 4" , rear springs... WE'll see how rough it is but, the shocks were dead over the past year so, i doubt i'll have anything to ***** about. Life time warrenty etc, no fine print or how ever the claim goes.

But yea, your blazer, Nice Rims, tires, paint, 400ci!

Live it up

Man I bet you were smiling as you walked out the door this morning until you got back in the driveway again from your ride. I was smiling for you just looking at that beautiful thing. GORGEOUS. Nice job on that. Question. I thought about welding some down bars like that from the door openings like you have to make the tub stronger from twisting and sagging with the top off. How do you like yours, do you think they help? Thanks in advance for your response.

I believe they help tremendously. I also tied the roll cage into the windshield frame. Everything is VERY solid now. Make sure the bedsides are perpendicular to bed floor, and have the doors in, and aligned first.

It looks a lot better out of the garage. It was sweet when you started it up, but much better now.
I still haven't heard back from your father about when I can come by and get the 56! lol
A great collection.............

Remote starter solenoid, allows voltage to go straight from the battery to the starter, and the headlight relays.

That thing is GREAT!!! Wish I could have gotten mine done that quick. Going on three years now and I'm just getting ready to lay primer down. What was the button on the back panel? Looks almost like a cigarette lighter? Remote power jack? Jeff.
