Nice!

Where in NY do you live?

about an hour away from buffalo
small town called dunkirk.

Painting the rims to match?

Love the look of your truck man, the blacked out theme looks awesome.

dunkirk huh? i'm from jamestown!

i was thinking about painting those rims black for the winter and buying some new daytona black wheels for summer, but i think im just gonna buy them in a week or to with a new set of beefer tires.
and jamestown really?
i thought i was the only person around here crazy for blazers lol

theres a few blazer enthusiasts around here but not many get online. Have the cops given you any crap about tinting your turn signals? You'd probably get stopped for that if you came up this way.

nothing yet, the state troopers did stop me for having plate covers tho, but thats still not gonna make me take them off since you can still clearly see the plate and all

yea, plate covers are actually illegal in NY (all states i want to say?) so it's pretty stupid they even sell them! You will get much more crap from the state troopers here than anything though. How much snow have you guys gotten up there?

nothing really at all
when it snows we only get enough to cover a little of the grass lol

I rocked tinted plate covers for years here and never got a fine. The cop just makes you take out a dime and undo the screws with it and cough up the plate cover. Its illegal here too.

Truck looks nice! The birdstrike is cool too.

lol yea thatll be the day they make me take them off. and yea i didnt even know i hit one till i was washing my truck and i saw part of my mesh grille missing lol

well i just got my billet grille. i have been moding how i want it. Im almost done with putting it in and ill throw some pics up when i got it all in,
also ordered up some new audio stuff
-kenwood 1800 watt mono amp
-2 10' infinity subs 1100 watt max power
-dual 10' pre mad box

just gotta order a wire kit and buy a capactior.

that should all be done by xmas hopefully lol

okay so here is what my grille looks like now with the billet insert and i added a little green paint to the bow tie and the brackets i made to hold the inserts in

so what do you guys think?

nice truck man im from plattsburgh new york otherside of the state but i like your truck i was thinking of tinting my tails but my luck id be pulled over everyday

yea, i just got tail light covers but they didnt fit when i got them so i screwed them in lol havent gotten stopped for them yet just my plate cover which was such a joke.

over here they are really on top of the giving you a ticket thing my bro inlaw got a ticket because he had tint but it was in the legal limit! so he got that one cleared because they took a light gun to it to measure the amount of light passage but i know they would pull me over if i had them tinted :( oh well i might do it later on i just dont have the $ right now

yea, im not doing much more to my truck till spring when its warmer and i got more cash lol

yea no cash and no job and being 16 almost 17 dont help with the no job part lol i have applied at so many places and still no job but oh well

overall nice blazer man im thinking about making a expanded metal grille inserts i have access to some of it at my vocational school so i might make somethin xD

havent updateed this for awhile
just got my box and subs in, waiting for my amp from my girlfriend for xmas :mad: she wont give it to me till then so oh well, still waitign for my wiring kit to come on the 23rd then time to install and annoy the neighbors :)

kenwood 1800 watt amp

10' 1000 watt infinity subs

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the cap is not going to help your headlights dimming, what you need is a larger alternator. There is a mod on here you can find where you take the 120 amp from a fullsize full load truck like a Yukon or Burb, mod the mounts, and change over the pulleys and wireplug... That will fix your problem. The cap provides a surge of power, not constant voltage, so it wont fix it, it may help a little, but the alternator is the fix you desire. Another fix would be to switch that Kenwood amp for a D class Alpine, or something else top top of the line, they are much much much more efficient.

Looks good though, nice and clean. That amp looks neat too, what color does that top bar light up? Does it fill the cab with light?

well it doesnt dim my lights alot but enough to bug me and my friends was doing that and he has a truck like mine and that fixed it so idk lol and the bar glows blue and the triangle glows red , its not to bright at night so its not that bad, i have 12 inch LED black light strip im gonna hook up so it flashes when ever the bass hits

another update, just tinted out my third brake light.

i was wondering what you guys think of getting a 2in susp. lift and a 2in body lift. would that be good enough for running 31in tires on soft 8s?

i don't agree with caps. they're a waste of money really. get the alternator for a little more and you have a lot of room to grow. i'm running 1200 watts rms in my truck and only loose voltage on heavy bass. the ad244 swap is a great deal but if you want more power than that can handle you'll need a big alt and battery bank.


not a bad build though

caps are good for sudden bass hits b/c they require more power. if you really want to get rid of the lights dimming, you could a) rebuild alternater with a higher amp brush kit, b) replace the amp (which you should anyways.... class d mono block all the way!!!) or c) add in a battery isolator and a deep cycle (marine) battery in between the cap and the primary battery.

i'll point this out for you.
