Also i went ahead and got the warranty on my tires. better to pay $15 a tire now then $220 a tire if i run some stupid *** bottle over or something...





Sorry man but he said he really didnt enjoy doing it haha too much wiring!!!



Thats awesome man! The grille is from ebay! I just had to wd40 and unscrew my GMC badge and put it on the new badge, while i was at it i sanded them down and got rid of the rust on em. i wanted to get rid of my rub strips as well. i took the panel off and there is holes so i put em back on and figured the hell w it haha.. I just did the MPG a couple fill ups ago. Under normal driving highway and city no off road. 15mpg. that is a fair mpg for having overly sized tires. I really like the look of the goodyear wrangler durtracks though.. i may go that route next round. but i do love my BFGs!!



dude that means alot thank you..



thanks man!
Would you possibly have a pic of what it looked like before you got the lift on? I want to get a lift kit on my blazer and I'm curious about how much that size lift kit adds.

haha so true! i cant even look at the rear of a stock one the placement of the wheels and how low it is.. so horrible.. but after.. amazing. I just wish I had a blazer sometimes so I could fit the 33x12.50 if I did the body lift.. with the jimmy body kit they wont fit forsure but im thinking 32x11.50 will fit. ill probably do a 2" body lift from rough country unless anyone has better options. then wrangler durtrack AT 32x11.50 if they fit. may have to do 32x10.50

I sanded and painted with anti rust semi flat black the Trailer Hitch. It may peel with heavy use but I dont tow too much at all. Maybe my dads boat or a friends trailer...








Also I saw a huge lifted Jeep a couple days ago. Couldnt get a good shot of it...

Truck looks great. i am building a 2000 s10 4 door and I used a ZR2 front clip to get the wide stance and the lift. I have also installed a v8. Should be up and running soon. I posted in the builds section. I also installed a 1" body lift. I bought the 1" spacers from summit and cut off the front bumbper mounts and raised them up. I bought longer bolts and a slight lift added.
