Most mud tires are horrible in the snow and ice. I know my KM2s are...

my TSL's were ok. they were interesting i guess you could say. 38 inch tires so naturally they could go through some deep stuff and usually hoooked pretty good but if you gave it a little gas around a corner you would slide a lot more then you would with a normal tire. i think those fat tires just got on top of the snow and just kept going

i finished my truck before i found this site so im in the clear, also dont see much street time anyways

hey so i got the blazer finished, got all the fenders on with the 1998+ grill conversion. I had a lot of trouble getting everything straight like the fenders with the hood because I bend my frame in the front about 10 inch long from the tow hook back, so the body mount was all out of wack. after I got every done my blazer was running like crap ( this wasn't new been like that sense crash) I had a broken maf so I replaced it and it ran better but was still misfiring then I thought my distributor was off, like it spun from the shock of the crash because its not the tightest and can be spinned with a lot of force but it was a spark plug wire that had a crack in it and was arching out, but now that I spun my cap. its still not running perfect lol got to bring the snap on scanner from work home and get the timing back to normal.

but here are the pics

looks ugly but just the angle


this is after u got the fenders on the body mount wasn't working at all so I welded a new one on my the parts blazer ..... I usually use the 120v snap on welder I just the 240v Lincoln welder and this is good welding for me lol no pro



got everything straight now it isn't perfect but im done with it lol its like 1/4 inch off side to side in some areas



all skipping through a lot of stuff here is the finished product




I love how the lower valance is with the plow mount
