Hey Guys,
I've got a stock 1998 Blazer LS 4.3L V6, 5-Speed and a4x4 with 2-door. Essential I want a mix of a vehicle. I want a vehicle I driver everyday but go off roading with friends here in North Carolina all day long.
Here is my current setup and what I have to fix:
1st: I've got to fix my clutch. I think the clutch slave cylinder went bad.
2nd: Get the truck to pass NC inspection.
3rd: Remove crank fan and install electric fan
4th: Strip the rattly interior and carpet, Rino Line, the floor and lower half of the body
5th: Install body life kit, thinking either a 2" or 3" lift
6th: Install bigger tires. I'm current running 235/75R15, I would really like to run 31 inch tires on this Blazer
I plan on doing this on a budget and document the entire process. I finally got the Blazer running again today, you have to pump the CRAP out of the clutch but I was finally able to get it to move, here is a picture of it trying to jump it today:

I'm hoping to have the truck on the road and legal sometime next week!
Thanks
Grant

Sounds like a project, good luck. I've recently thought about a rhino liner interior. My work truck is an F150 and I've always liked the vinyl seats and floorboards.
