Once I get my set fabbed up I should be making a few sets. Just has to wait until warmer weather. Replaced my Drivers side upper ball joint a few days ago. This is what I found once I got the wheel off...



But anyway, tomorrow I'm replacing the Sway Bar Bushings and Endlink Bushings, Pitman arm, and Idler Arm tomorrow. I got to track down a vacuum leak soon, Everytime I stop the blazer is acts like it wants to die out. Another 2500 Miles and I will hit 270,000 miles. I gotta admit this Blazer has been a tank. Throw anything at it and it goes. My girlfriend Just picked up at 2000 Zr2 Blazer. As a tide over vehicle until she can get a better one on MPG or 4x4 truck. So she told me once she finds her new vehicle the Zr2 will become mine. So when that does happen my 96 will be parked and be getting a SAS... I can't wait. Here's her Blazer.

Her ZR2 looks like my. But I don't have a bug guard on the hood.

Well After 5 years the Blazer is in the hands of a new owner. I've had my good times in it. I"m going to miss it thats for sure but I'm the new owner of a 1994 Chevy Silverado Z71 Ext Cab. It needs some work but it will be nice by the end of the summer. Im going to stay around here. You guys have helped me out and I feel at home on this forum. I hope the blazer has many good days ahead of her.

Nice upgrade, Congrats! I'd love to get a full-size if they didn't all turn to rust buckets here :-(

Looks good. Hopefully soon enough 31's will be going on mine and possibly regearing. How was the power difference with the 31's compared to stock? Was it even noticeable or was it mainly the speedo off?
