I like the colour you chose for your truck. As for the difference between front and back, the front on a regular 4x4 Blazer is about 2" wider than the rear. It really bugged me when I bought my Blazer so I got 1.25" wheel spacers for the rear, and then as my build progressed I swapped the rear axle for a ZR2 axle which is about 3" wider than the regular 4x4 axle.

Thanks good idea. i'll have to keep my eyes out for one at the PNP.

Yes, it is easy to just say... why the heck do i keep working on this thing, LOL. but i like it, and all in all, it treats me good.

Well i am supposed to go meet a guy today about trading wheels and tires. i am wanting to go back to factory rims for bigger tires. I also have my eye on a roof rack, i'll upload photo's as soon as i get these changed. and hopefully added to my roof. but the roof rack won't be until after next friday.

i also plan on ordering the two inch shackles, and doing a tbar crank. just depends on the roof rack, and how the budget allows.

okay, got the new wheels and tires on today..they were painted flat black, so some sanding, cleaning, new primer, and then satin black to match the rest of the trim i have done on it.

hopefully next payday, i can get the roof rack, i have my eye on. also moved my switch for the foglights, to a place still well out of the way, but easier to get to, than the first location.

spent the day working on a buddy's 4 runner. Tomorrow i am going to hang a 47" tv on the wall for a customer. I did theater installations, before i became a desk jockey. so this will help me towards my roof rack/basket.

Woo Hoo, ordering the new roof rack this weekend. i'm pretty sure i'll have to do some modifying, because i do not want to relocate my fog lights. i spend alot of time making sure no wires were visible. they are all run inside the frame, and even hidden where they enter the cabin. so i DO NOT want to undo all of that. easier to modify the roof carrier basket.
