Carrico's Build (98 blazer 4dr)
#11
Thanks man, the body lift was time consuming but it wasn't hard really, except one of my mounts broke, but its holding up.
#12
Alright, washed it yesterday and saw that the bedliner was coming off a lil, so decided today I will paint it 2 or 3x more and than coat it with at least 2x with black paint so its not a black blue and grey truck
#13
going to do a sfa or a whole sas, not sure, not going to use leafs, its gonna be coils
#14
Alright, well the SAS isn't going to happen, nor a SFA; however i have found a lot more info and learned more about the ifs/my truck, so I am gonna start to build my rig into a more rugged ifs, here is a link to help paint some pictures How to make your 4×4 S10 Better! | DezertDimes.com
Not sure what the policy is about taking from other sites, but i also thought that site would help others, let me know if this info won't help me either. But i plan on swapping in some bravada parts in my truck, some s10 parts, and such, here is also the same site but something, very nice built, and i believe it is still ifs, like a hybrid type: G-Machine S10 Build Article in Off-Road Magazine | DezertDimes.com
Thanks for your time reading, i'll post up some pictures of what my truck looks like now, I am trying to fit 35s in the end. Comments are nice, pictures will come soon, and don't bash this thread either. Thanks

You've got an awsome car man! Love the rims! This is going to be a fun thread to check in on!

thanks man! it is fun to drive and gets a good amount of looks. It'll be a slow build, but i'm 90% leaning on a D44 and Ford 9" i just have to wait for more money to come it to get everything ready. But i still am not sure yet.

Lookin' good man.

Thanks Thogert
I'll have pics up of my painted bull bar, it may be on today!! And also pics of the truck itself.
Also, anyone know any websites i can find info on d44s ford 9"s and what lockers etc are, because getting a ford bronco will be the easiest, than i can take out the axles (they have d44 and 9"s in them) and part the rest, so i would get my money back. Any info on sites or books to help me learn more is greatly appreciated.
