Have you seen these pics?

I want something like the jeeps have but atleast we can get an idea on how to mount the buttons.

So I was looking into it and might have found a way to make the cover work without doing too much custom work.

So Its possible to buy a used roll bar from a truck like that s10 has in the pic. Maybe get one thats a little longer so it reaches to the tailgate. That way the cover doesnt sag down and ppl can sit under it. Then buy the rails from a tonneau cover (see pic) and install them on the roof and along the sides of the rear of the blazer. Then try to make a cover from a jeep to fit and clip on.

Lmk what u think lol

LOL awesome. It came to me a few hours ago when I saw an older jeep with roll bars and I saw the rails on a truck in my parking lot with the tonneau cover off.

As soon as I get the other blazer im buying the stuff

yea that was cool what he did, I would do that too if it was my daily. But since im thinking of putting seats back there thats not gonna work for me. And yea man lift kit,tires,rear diff. locker and a winch to get her mudding.Then go replacing parts as I go. I also want to do that electric fan mod a few ppl have done. I seen a few jeeps blow they're motors because it over heated while trying to get out of a mud hole.

Cool, I was thinking of buying those Bart wheels from summit racing. They look decent for 50 bucks a piece. Dont need anything fancy for the mud lol


Btw I had a question regarding the hatch. Can I install the tailgate from the 2dr to the 4dr after I cut the roof on it. Will that work or do u think i have to fab something up?

I would hold off on the Bart wheels. I ordered some about a month ago and just got an email saying they're going to take even longer than I originally was told. From what I've read Bart can be very slow on getting products to the customers.
