Default 96 Two door 4x4

Hello,
I bought this budget build from a close friend and just wanted to post some of the modifications I'm making. I'm married with 5 kids so there will not be any huge upgrades but I want it to be a fun daily driver with a little off road action. So far I jacked it up 2 inches but still need bigger tires. Running the stock 235's
Thanks for any input or advice.


Two inch shackles and T Bar crank

Spare Tire Cover

Looks pretty good. I have 31s on my Blazer.

Did you paint the bottom quarter yourself or did you buy it like that? I want to do it to my Blazer but I don't really have the time or expertise to get it done. I've considered going to Maaco but I always heard they kind of suck.

I did paint the lower quarter myself with black bumper/trim spray paint. There is some damage on the passenger side that was fixed with a crappy bondo job but covers up well in black. I just taped it off and let her rip.

Looks really good. I like the aggressive side walls.

How is that short antenna? I've heard they are not that great.
