1999 4dr 4x4 LS Build
Well, i figured i'd start a build thread since my truck has come a decent way since I first got it
started of as a 99 LS 4dr 4x4 I picked up with 113K miles for $700 http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._4748748_n.jpg http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._6408196_n.jpg after about 10k miles i got bored with it, and it was hit in the front and drivers door, so I decided to rebuild the front suspension, and to a tbar tweak and shackles while I was at it, as well as some Rough Country shocks. I also removed the fron valance since it was cracked badly. http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...96603898_n.jpg http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...36251418_n.jpg http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...13450790_n.jpg as it sits now, im waiting to get an alignment to throw the 31" BFG's on it, Im currently bed lining the bottom half of it, and I just got back from the junkyard with a new door, and a spare tire carrier off of a ZR2 http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...65300363_n.jpg more pictures to come after I finish the bedliner, get the 31's installed, and eventually mount the tire carrier. anyone want to help?!?!?!?! FREE BEER (for those of legal age of course) -Dreezy |
also in the somewhat near future will probably be an AAL for the back, a 2" PA body lift, and some 33's when the 31's get worn out
|
Looks nice! For that cheap its a good project truck!
|
thanks! yea I couldnt pass it up for $700, the only thing that didnt work was the A/C so I couldnt complain
|
awesome find for 700
wish i was a little closer...i would help ya out. as far as the rear springs i would recommend a set from the yard... z85 and then take the longest spring from your current pack and cut the ends off and toss it in. two for two...new spring packs and a homemade add a leaf. reason i say that is i can see your leaves look a little flat in the one pic. mine looked like that before...then they started to invert, not good. |
they are deffinetly flat, which is why i wanted to do an AAL, I was actually going to PM you about the tire carrier.
if you have a free day or two, I would be willing to pay for your gas if you wanted to come out and give me a hand. I even have a 26ft trailer in the back with a bedroom if you dont want to drive home! haha I'll PM you my phone number if you would be interested in that and we can work something out |
time is tight for me during the summer i work two jobs...one for pepsi other is landscaping.
what is your time frame to get the job done? |
I'm not really in a rush to do it tomorrow or anything, I still have to sand it down and paint it as well as weld in a new wheel stud as one of them is broken off. If you are interested in helping out I would work off of your time frame
|
Well normal days off are tue and wed from pepsi and then i do landscaping on my days off sometimes depending on work load.
pm me when you have a time frame in mind and i will see what i can do. Glad to help ya out |
well, I finally finished up the bed lining, as well as painting the rear bumper
http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...16007676_n.jpg about to go outside and throw on a new trim piece for behind that back right qtr glass. $5 junkyard score FTW!!! hopefully by this weekend it will have an alignment and the 31's on it. been trying to find a set of the first gen blazer "12 hole" wheels, but with no luck :( |
