Dark Chocolate Build
I just got this Blazer.
It's a 1999 4.3l 4x4 4 door. Granny driven so the thing is like brand new and LOW miles. I got it for a steal too, so here come the upgrades.
It started as this 1995 Eddie Baur F-150... good old truck, but I needed something better.
I don't have any pictures from before the lift, but here it is with the lift and the stock tires/wheels.
This is what it looks like today
These are the bumpers I am getting. The front bumper is on its way, along with a Smittybilt X20 10k winch. I haven't ordered the rear bumper yet, but I will soon because it smells like rubber in there! (I have the spare in the back)
The front bumper is from Logans Metal 4x4
The rear bumper w/tire carrier is from Blue Lake Offroad
Both are all steel and fully custom. Took me forever to find somewhere with cool bumpers for a Blazer... maybe this will help ya'll find something you want.

That rear bumper looks sweet!

ad244 alternator out of a fullsize is a good upgrade. But no alternator can stand up to a winch. A good battery is all you can do.

Love the look of that bumper man! Can't wait to see the rear one

Pretty nice set up on front bumper with winch! Get a better battery..

Just got a new battery. The voltage gauge still drops quite a bit, but I guess you guys said the winch is still going to do that.
Another thing, I am thinking about cutting my fenders for tire clearance. I don't really want it lifted any higher to help keep some stability on the trails. Does anyone know what to look for so I don't cut something important? Or if there is a thread on here already that I haven't found yet?

Looks sweet! What lift and size if tires are you running?
