31x10.5's are installed, I'm noticing some rubbing when I turn, even with T bars cranked a little, contemplating fender trimming. Pics tomorrow!

OK, I guess i've been seriously slacking!! Here is a pic a few months ago with my 2" BL on, my soft 8's, 31's and my bushguard I picked up for $80




I picked up some roof lights today (cheapy Baja 4x6 55w'ers) I picked up 4, included switch and wires...Seemed OK for the price lol.


Once it's nice out I hope to rig them up for looks, then as it warms up, actually wire them up (with a relay) Planning on going all 4 on the roof, maybe get 2 on my rear bumper for reverse. Might go HID's in my headlights aswell

If you do in fact decide on HID's please be curtious to other drivers and do your HID's right. Reflector housings are not ment for HID's and will blind other drivers. I made that mistake when i had my blazer. Check theretrofitsource.com. They are more expensive this way but you will maximize your brightness and you won't blind other people. Also be aware a lot of states are making it illegal to have "colored" headlights aka tempuratures over 6000k which give you a blue color or even purple. For maximum brightness tou want in between 4000-6000k. Stock tempurature in vehicles is 4300k. That website makes it fairly simple to do a retrofit i plan on getting a kit for my 4runner eventually. There are a lot of how to retrofit videos on youtube to give you and idea

I'm going to have to wait until spring to get some digi cam quality pics (i have stock sized winters on right now) Here are a few blackberry pics from the day I went out in my last pic.

Benedict, thanks for the information in regards to the HID's. Looks like I have a bit more research to do before I make a final decision!

*edit* Tinted, you guys should have some down there, we got swamped up here in the past 2 days, I can't even get in my driveway w/o 4x lol

your blazer looks good. Do you have just a body lift? Or do you have a t-bar crank and shackle as well? It looks about the same height was my blazer was and I didn't have a body lift. I can kinda tell by the front pic if you do have your tbars cranked its not very much your cv angle looks pretty straight. Thats good replacing front end parts gets annoying

Thanks Benedict! I do have a 2" BL. I haven't installed my shackles yet, but I did have to crank my T-bars a bit and trim my fenders to fit my 31's

Hey, real good lookin truck you got there. You have inspired me to two tone the lower part of my blazer with some bedliner or something.

BTW i sent you a PM.
