Logan's Build...
So as of tomorrow the Z will be on jack stands, and not moving until the SFA and half doors are done. Well maybe just the SFA. Here is the way she sits today.
Add a leaf
torsion bar crank
33x12.5x15 Baja claws
Half doors so far:
My CB:
So ill be going SFA with leafs and SOA. |I will also be ditching the NP233 transfer case for the NP231. As well as removing the old motor and putting one with far less km.
So here is the build list:
Front Axle: Dana 30 from an XJ 4.56:1 gears, detroit locker
Rear Axle: Chrysler 8 1/4" from an XJ 4.56:1 gears, detroit locker
front leafs: 1981 Wagoneer stock front leafs
1986 grand wagoneer pitman arm
1993 Astro 2wd van steering box
1989 Blazer NP231 transfer case
1996 S10 manual 4WD shift lever with the S10 console
2000 Blazer 4.3L
Front drive shaft: Unknown <--any ideas feel free to chime in
Stock rear shaft
I think thats it. A local off roader is going to make me all the tabs, and bushing brackets I need. Ill make the shackles as I go.
Planned time to completion: 2 weeks

Holy ****! This should be good! Saw your comment in the "What do blazer drivers..." and was looking for it lol.
I liked the ZR before. But this will be awesome!
Good luck and as for the Front Drive Shaft. Sorry I can't help ya out.

Logan your truck looks like something I see when I'm in Texas for Muddys Gras. LMAO!
p.s for people who don't know what muddy's gras is, it's basically mardi's gras for mudd boggers.
