2010 Upgrades
Well in the next few weeks I will be doing a few upgrades to the bravada. Well Today I took the truck in for inspection/emissions and needed new sway bar links. They were shot. So first upgrade for 2010 was fresh inspection stickers lol.
Today I got my new set of wheels in 20" Helo's, still waiting on the tires. 255/40/20 Toyo Proxes.
This is what I had before. really liked them but one started to peel and they were discontinued,so under warrenty got a new set.
Tomorrow I should be getting my ssbc brake calipers and slotted rotors for the front. these big wheels really kill my brakes, so decided to go with some better stopping power. This is what they look like.
I also ordered a color matched suede dash cover. Dash is starting to fade alittle.
Other plans are:
- Finish undercoating the frame
- Hid kit for fogs
- repaint roof rack
- debadge the hatch
- fab the dash to fit my 7" kenwood dvd player
- rewrap my sub box. I was an idiot and layed a wheel on it, which scratched and stained the leather. I been thinking about keeping it in leather or redoing it completely in color matched suede. We'll see. this is what it currently looks like.
I will post pics as soon as I get everything in.

How much are the calipers running you? If they're cheaper than C5/6 calipers I might look into them when I put the 17's on.
EDIT: Nevermind, talk about sticker shock! Looks like used 'Vette calipers for me!

I paid $600 shipped for the calipers. Comes with ssbc performance pads and hardware. Thats for the powdercoated calipers. They also come in Clear Anodized for $500 shipped. the rotors were $93 each

That looks like a great setup for wheels and breaks. i'm just happy Michigan doesn't do inspections and what not

Helo makes some nice rims. i also like the big brake kit. I'll have to look into those.

Hey Luis, those are damn fine rims. If I may say so, even better than the old ones! Def will look good on the Bravada. (& my black beast) I like them a lot.

When I put in 2000 Blazer 4wd, the only calipers that came up were 3 piston and $1500. Link to yours?
