Still working on it! Haven't had a bunch of time lately for it but I have been doing a bit. Changed the front brake pads yesterday and experimented with a 2wd Rim. I like the offset on it and the design a bit better. Got my lights all wired up. Here are a few pics...







Hopefully I can get started on my new bumper soon and then Rhino line the rocker panels. I'm thinking about hacking up the grille guard and making it a solid piece of the new bumper.

Wow man, that looks a lot like mine lol. I got the same guard off JC whitney and I'm gonna order a driver side fender off them too. Looks way good. The only thing I don't like about the brush guard is that I think the brush guards are a little high. I thought about drilling a few new holes and moving them down about an inch. But man that Blazer looks much better in comparison to the before photos.Also, what kind of headlight/driving lights you got hooked up?

Just a quick update. Got my Grille Emblem and a Hitch Installed a few days ago, Body Lift is the next thing on my list along with the new front bumper!

comin along nice dude, just IMO i dont like how high the guard is. would look 100% better if the guard was lowered, or if this body lift will do the trick. keep it updated, cant wait to see the lift as im putting one on mine too!

Update!

Well I decided to scrap the Idea for the bumper, I didn't have the tools to make what I wanted. But On the good side, Went to U PULL IT with my buddy looking for stuff for his jeep and found a near perfect bumper... Snagged it up for $54 bucks. Took the brush guard off, Didn't want to drill into the new bumper. Also I've been at a stand still on wither or not to get a body lift and 31x15.50 tires. Been thinking about Sticking with the stock Suspension and getting 30x9.50's. But When it warms up I'm finishing the paint on this thing! It really needs it. BTW been debating on getting rid of the tow hooks up front and adding receiver tubes. Anyone got a good place to buy parts?

Here's a Spoiler... 2 came on Saturday, the others will be here tomorrow!



Now here she is, the 95% completed body!
