Thanks for the compliments guys. I agree that the black works with the gold. I'll get a better shot of the nose that is not so backlit. I'm not that great of a photographer.

I've been researching cleaning the engine compartment, mine is a filthy disgrace, but I'm not planning to go nuts in there. Also I need to calculate my fuel mileage. I think I've been hovering around 14 mpg. I'd like to increase that if possible. I will check the air filter and find out when it was last changed. Will also clean the MAF and throttle body. I've never been much of a mechanic, but there is plenty of good info on this site.
Would be open to installing one of those Ebay cold air intake kits, but the opinions seem mixed as to whether it may increase MPG; and I would have to fabricate a heat shield.

 

looks really good, My big concern with the rough country lift is some of the strain it can put on the front end like the ball joints and cv axels, i personally just adjusted my torsion bars up about 1.5 inches and did an add a leaf and shackles in the back, your blazer looks really similar to how mine originally looked too, love the black grill.

 

I was getting about 14.5 MPG. After cleaning the MAF and throttle body my next 2 tanks averaged 15.3 MPG and then 16.6 MPG. So I'm pretty happy with the improvement.

I think I'm going to put off any thoughts on lifting it. It really would have only been for looks in my case and I can't afford to spend too much on toys lately as I'm building a house. I am going to put some LEDs in the gauges and interior lights over the next few weeks. I'll also paint the rims when I finally have some time. I have a sportrack on order as well which i'll use for vacation in August.
