Thanks guys I appreciate it , it was 29 degrees when I took the video , and the truck is real cold blooded . I think it has a lot to do with the carb , it does sound good though . I'll get another video with the engine warmed up its quite a bit more responsive . Tomorrow I'm going to give it a oil change , and flush the coolant , and today I received word my tax return will be here Friday . I can't wait . I'm not so sure about waiting the 4 to 6 weeks for the ORD kit to arrive so I may just go ahead and make my own SAS kit . At this point I have everything but time , I just got word that I'll be going back to work in two weeks . The rush is on .

Today I am finally going to purchase my axles I'm still not sure wich ones I'll get ,its either goin to be the jeep wagoneer or the yj axles . I'll make up my mind once I get there ,

I desided on the yj axles I bought both front and back for 600 dollars , I can't wait , and I'll post some pictures later on . Right now I'm working on cleaning them up and making a parts list for all the new goodies I'm putting onto them .

Heres a couple pictures of the jeep that I bought the parts off .



And here they are in my shop waiting for me to rebuild them .





And thats it for now I'll get some more as I proceed .
I found out that 4wdfactory has the sky manufacturing solid axle kit that ships same day , so I will be ordering that kit and I will make my own shock hoops . I can get everything I need for 245 shipped , plus I also spung for the Dana 30 spring perches . I should have these by next Wednesday . I removed the diff cover and counted the teeth on the ring gear there are 41 and there are 10 on the pinion gear , so if My math is correct I have 4.10 gear ratio . My bunch of my friends came over tonight and gave me a few good ideas , I'm going to keep the stock rear leaf springs in order to keep it from riding like a lumber wagon . And the leaf springs that were on the jeep front end I'll also use , My friend says that will put me up 6 inches , thats perfect , I don't want to go to big so it won't fit down the trails .

Na I got them from lances junk yard in Maine NY . there just over the hill from me (about 10 minutes away . The guys that operate this place are good guys , I used to work there when I was younger . He's suposed to have my 90 - 94 cherokee steering shaft and the astovan steering box in the morning . It' so cool that I found away around the long wait time on the solid axle kit . All I can say is its going to be like christmas around here for a little while , I have so many parts ordered it's hard to keep track of them all . I'm like a fat kid in a candy store except I'm a skinny f----r in a auto parts store .

I found some wheel adapters for the Dana 30 5x4.5 to 5x4.75 for 129.97 so I can still run the wheels I have now .
And this is the nitrous kit I'll be ordering today
KMJ Performance*::*NITROUS AND ACCESSORIES*::*Carburated Nitrous Systems*::*NITROUS SPRAY-PLATE KIT RACE SYSTEM HOLLEY 4150 SQUARE
and heres the front axle hanger kit from sky manufacturing
https://www.4wdfactory.com/store/pro...xle-Hanger-Kit

I have purchased all the above parts and the wheel adapters and I also received a shipment , My new digital gauges for the pillar pod . And theres a coupon code in there for any of you looking into gauges .




So funny , my 8 year old daughter just returned home from school , and I showed her the nitrous kit that purchased today and she stuck her had up in the air for a high five and said good job dad . My 12 almost 13 year old likes the skulls and the digital gauges , and my wife well she's not to impressed with any of it .

It is ok to do consecutive posts on a build thread right ? I have a few pictures of my friends truck that I have been talking about and a few pictures of my blazer with the new digital gauges .
This is the mud truck

And heres the 15,000 dollar and still improving truck .



And heres the new bumper we went and got this morning , its off a brand new tractor trailer , our friend who bought a new rig bought a custom bumper so this one was just laying around brand new , he sold it for 250 bucks .


My new digital gauges in the blazer


And how about these tires for the blazer there 54s brand new from military outlet , he paid let for these tires than I'm going to have to pay for my 35 SW thornbirds , and there going on a huge ford excursion thats a 10 nitrous injected , with five ton axles .

I'll get some more pictures we have a sweet truck coming to get new tires and hem joints . And I'll get a picture of the ford excursion and the new rear disk brake set up my friend made for the five ton axles .

And now back to my truck , My friends mom just replaced the rear end in her jeep and they decided to keep the core and they gave me the disk rear brake set up so I can switch my rear axle over to disk brakes . I drove the truck on the road for the first time today , I'm more in love with this blazer than ever . It drove great , the digital gauges look totally awesome , it shifted so good . Alright I have had probably more than one to many but I had to post this tonight.

I worked in the shop from 9am to 12am , But my exhaust is done , flowmaster exhaust and it comes out just before the front tires on both sides . Its sounds quite but good its got great throttle response , it sounds just like a 5.0 mustang real throaty sounding . We are working on the big truck that I have been talking about , I'll load some pictures . It has rear steer , air bags , suicide front doors and its huge , we had to let all the air out of the bags and flatten the tires to get it in the shop and the shop is built for big mud trucks . I also bought the 4 barrel intake for my blazer yesterday , Its polished and it has the nitrous bosses already in it .
