Finally got the Blazer painted last fall. Still need to finish the interior and do some other work, but it's coming along.

And it has the seat heater option

*Medicanman71* · 04-06-2006, 09:39 PM

Outstanding!! What are the switches in your console? Looks clean! Also, what kinda tires are those? (seen them before, just dont remember, they look good too!) Is it your DD, why the engine conversion? it all looks good!

**Canadian694x4** · 04-06-2006, 11:32 PM

Looks Great! I was also wondering what kinda tires those were...

red71cheyenne · 04-06-2006, 11:36 PM

Very nicely from the looks.

How was the body 'pre' paint?

tpi72blazer · 04-07-2006, 08:21 AM

Thanks everybody. Luv is correct - the switches in the console are seat heaters. The tires are 31x 10.50 unidirectional Yokohama geolanders. Eventually I'd like to run a 2" lift with 33 x 10.50 BFG Mud T/A's.

Damn! That looks nice!
I like the color, but my fav is the drk green

Congrats on the fine job!

Jason915 · 04-07-2006, 11:05 AM

Nice Blazer, I love the TPI conversion did you use an aftermarket wiring harness? How's the power and MPG with it?

I did use an aftermarket harness. Because I have my ECM mounted in the engine compartment, I had to use waterproof connections. The increase in low end torque is drastic. I am still running the TH350 trans and 3.73 gears and my mileage is around 13 mpg. Eventually I would like to swap in a 4 speed automatic and be able to get around 15-17 mpg.

krue · 04-08-2006, 09:09 AM

Very nice truck! I like the color.

blazerparts · 04-10-2006, 10:31 AM

very nice!

**Yukon Jack** · 04-10-2006, 12:18 PM

Looks sweet. My Blazer is jealous!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-10-2006, 08:27 PM

Congrats that is a very nice ride..

Very nice - I love the color!

When I got ready for final paint, I had the factory color cross referenced by PPG. I did shoot the paint in basecoat- clear instead of a factory single stage paint.

MikeS · 04-11-2006, 04:40 PM

Hey! We're twins!! Beautiful truck!

tpi72blazer · 04-26-2006, 08:37 AM

Nice Blazer MikeS! I assume you are running a mass air flow setup on your TPI? Out of curiosity, where did you find the air cleaner elbow to route the cleaner at that angle? I looked for quite a while for one before I converted my system to speed density.

Swbman · 04-26-2006, 10:03 AM

YOu gotta just luv blue on blue..way to go...

mike nutt · 04-26-2006, 12:24 PM

looking good

Thanks for the compliment.

It's a Trick Flow LT-1 elbow (ceramic coated). I got it from Summit (TFS-3150800). The only problem is that there is a sensor grommet in it that needed to be plugged up. No big deal. I've got an old chrome bumper bolt stuffed in it now...one of these days I need to figure out something better.

Big J · 05-01-2006, 08:05 PM

Looks awesome! The geolanders look sweet on there too.

Jason915 · 05-02-2006, 02:39 PM

Hey MikeS what is your TPI engine build? Is it a stock L98? Cam, heads? The reason I ask it becasue my TBI engine build is 083 (TPI) heads and I will be picking a cam soon.

Thanks
