I figured I would go ahead and start a build thread since no vehicle I own is ever kept stock.... *This will just be an as I go thing...no real plan as to what's first....just wingin' it.
I will be going with the BDS 5" lift on down the road so some of this is in prep for that. Others r just cosmetic to make it different from most other blazers on the road.

The absolute first thing I did was get better tires...
I got 235/75r15 BGF Mud Terrain KM2s (will be for sale)

Which will be replaced with the bigger 31x10.5x15 KM2s*
On 15x8 (3" offset) black and silver Circle Racing series 21 rims


The second mod I did was tweak the torsion bars to get rid of the factory rake.


I also put a tach on the steering column since my blazer didn't come with a factory tach on the cluster



I then trimmed the from valence to give it more of an off road look and for to appear to have more ground clearance than it really does... I plan on puting bed liner coating on the rocker panels and bumpers as well as Retro fitting some ZR2 flares on down the road..


Mods on order are:
Wheels
2" rear shackles
Performance Accessories 2" Body Lift
Spare Tire Carrier
Black PCd Bull Bar

I will update more when mods come in....

 

lokking good so far man.

 

loving what you have done so fare. keep it up

 

Appreciate it...it's killin me waiting for the other stuff to get here

 

The son helped me with a trim delete today in prep for sanding/body work so the bedliner gets a good bond to the rockers

With trim:


No trim

 

Where you getting the bull bar from? I am trying to find one that will work with my 97.

Truck looks good too. Keep up the good work man.

 

I have a buddy that works in a diesel performance shop that can make me one for cheap...I just need to pay for materials needed..I looked everywhere but all I found was 98+

 

A brush guard/ bull bar from 98+ will fit on a 95-97, the only difference is how high the light guards are positioned. So a bull bar will fit just fine.

 

That is the best info I've heard so far... Thanks

 

Indeed it is.

Can't wait to see how your Blazer turns out.
