Well I got my Blazer about 2 Years ago and I really have put this thing through hell and back. 3 months after I got it the engine blew, not my fault had a bad rod. After that I clipped a pole after leaving a ex girlfriends house and then A few months back I hit a deer and that really screwed up the front end. Ended up fixing the original Core Support I am using the original damaged bumper until I can modify one out of a old semi bumper I have. Going to buy a Brush guard off of JC whitney and Beef it up some, add a body lift in time. Now for the pics... Theres a good amount of them. The fender i bought it too jacked up to use so until i get a new fender the grille will have to stay off, which isn't a bad thing. Gives me more time to paint it...

Painted the Grille Up today, matching Green as the Blazer. Went to the car wash and gave the blazer a quick bath.




Saw a Blazer on Craigslist that had the grille painted to match the body and it looked pretty sharp...

Wow that was a lot of work, but it looks awsome. That probably makes it all worth it.
