So hoping to get everything done at once... but got another piece of the puzzle lol...

Just hope it'll work!


Came from a 03 s10 zr2 auto 3 button

Mines a 99 so I hope it's just plug and play lmao...

Any body with pointers and tips?

Side note: sonoma is almost done parting out, so slapping the 4x4 axle under to get it rolling, then the blazers going in for trans and spider work. Also gonna take the 2wd ypipe that I just put on the sonoma, and mod it to fit the blazer... hopefully...

And heres whats left lol...

Glad to see you getting the blazer put back into shape. I'm hoping to start on the purple jimmy in the next week or so.

As I haven't been driving the blazer, she has been getting neglected... I'm not rushed to do the tranny swap, so I'm really holding off for nice warm weather, or last minute must lol....

Other then that did some small things...

Rear brakes, center console, ashtray and dash pieces, a arm pieces, and passenger door.

Added before picture to compare lol...





Oh and the fuse cover lol... small things 😀

Went for a drive last night, pulled over to take a leak,pulled over too far lol... had to get pulled out...

Front passenger side was hung up on the dirt and tire sank...

Rear passenger sank and axle got burried a lil...

Other then that, I got the front lift off, went to do the rear and can't get the shackle bolts out. Took off the flares to do work on them and hopefully get body work done.

Going through some personal stuff so not sure how much if much ill get done...

It's causing to much wear on the front end, and now with the cast iron diff I refuse to cut, to geometry isn't right. So my plans are, if I can follow thru with them and afford them, is to drop it with the zr2 stance. So far front is back to "stock", minus the extended shocks and rc control arms. And rear still has shackles, shocks, and sway bar brackets. When I can get the shackles replaces, I'll remove the sway bar relocation brackets. I'm leaving in the extra leafs and extended shocks because I tow the trailer.

including all this work, my list added brakes(rotors/pads/calipers), tie rods, I need to figure out my body mounts because I have 3 rusted out bracket locations on the frame. Gotta find a carpet because my rear has tranny fluid EVERYWHERE.

and I gotta figure out what binding when 4x4 is engaged on the front end, I can't turn my wheels while engaged and gas applied, but all 4 tires engages.

What was the extent of your suspension lift?

Today I was able to remove the idler arm that I suspected was loose. It wasn't. LOL I'm pretty sure the pitman arm is where the problem is anyway. But I'm taking the opportunity to install the 1-ton idler arm upgrade.
