Very Nice!

Thanks! I had to see what it would look like so I threw the 2 with tires on to get a feel for it. Doesn't look bad, but i think it needs to go a little bit lower

I love those wheels!

chevyriders 11-19-2017 06:32 PM

Yeah...she was more like"why are you putting Corvette wheels on before winter?"....so today I went and got a set of blizzak snow tires for them:icon_goofygrin:

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/blazerf...0499821f54.jpg
These tires are slightly taller than the 2 that came on the wheels...so it should fill up the wheel well a little better too. So for a total of 375$ I got a nice set of wheels and tires...pretty good deal i think....but I still cringe when I realize that's pretty much the same I paid for the whole truck...:icon_denk:

Got these today too for the rear to even up the wheels a bit.

I'm considering swapping in a bravada t-case and front diff and making this thing AWD...but I have mixed feelings about it...so we will see...

Probably going to order a cold air intake for it this week...seems a little ricey, but it's going to be a true cold air intake that's shielded from the rest of the engine compartment, and if nothing else it will make the engine bay look a bit nicer.

I'll accompany that with the throttle body mod(probably just throw one of the 3 modded blades I already have in it) and it should flow a little nicer....then it'll be time for a mild exhaust.

So I got the spacers on the rear, mounted 2 of the blizzaks on the empty wheels and got them on the truck.

Today I got surprised with half of the day off for Thanksgiving ...so I made use of the time by painting the rear window vents body color.

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/blazerf...9bf96d6afe.jpg

The color looks slightly off, but the quarter panel paint is super oxidized because it hasn't been buffed yet- so I think it'll match much better once I buffed the rest of the truck

It looks great with the spacers on the rear wheels!

So I decided to paint the roof rack to look similar to a diamond edition Jimmy

Retorqued my ubolts and did front brake pads today...it also looks like it's going to need control arm bushings asap

Took a few pics of the 2 of the trucks together while they were both at the shop....

The jimmy is looking good... but what did you do to the beast!?

chevyriders 11-26-2017 03:35 PM

I've been slacking on the big one lol. I gotta build a new tranny crossmember for it....but I might swap to 1 ton axles and a passenger side drop t-case- so im trying to make up my mind before i bother building one for my current setup
