BEFORE

AFTER

Summary of whats done for new readers:
3" rear shackles
Tbar keys and leveled crank
new balljoints, tie rods, pitman, idler, control arm bushings, axles
4 corner new brakes with slotted rotors, new calipers, lines and hoses
17" wheels with 265/70R17 Fierce Attitude MT tires, 33" tall tires now.
New gas tank, sending unit, and Delphi pump, new lines, used spider, new nut kit and FPR
Z71 Monroe shocks all around
3" body lift
Major fender trimming
Alpine head unit, Alping dual mono amps, JL 12W7 DVC subs ported @ 2ohms, Alping IMPRINT system, Alpine deck booster amp, JL audio interior speakers, Pheonix Gold line driver
LED in and out upgrade
6000k HID headlamps with VisionX glass housings - H4 bulb type
Tinted windows 17% over factory rears, 35% front doors
Still have yet to do:
Cut new front fenders and install
Install new cowl hood
Install new early 1st gen rad support
Install early 1st gen billet grill and related parts
Install new front bumper.
Finish stereo install and tune the IMPRINT system
Make bumper brackets to lift bumpers
Paint frame rails and find black step bars
Do the various body work and paint her at father inlaws paint shop (last step) may just LineX the entire thing black
Find a 5th matching wheel, was only able to get 4, but have 5 tires.
Install the nut kit so it will start and run without polluting the oil.
Locate a good condition rear tailgate, my current one is too rusted to bother fixing
Locate a V8 maybe? Was gonna take the TBI out of our old suburban but dontated the truck to the local church instead.
Eventually I may try out the SAS since ATVWARRIOR's rig is so sweet looking.
Theres a bunch more work, but its been so long I cant remember what it all is anymore. Ive got a shatload of parts in the garage gathered up for it too.
Shes still just sitting in my garage collecting dust as of now. No time to play with it, and its too cold. Also dont have time with the newborn babies, but maybe this spring me and the oldest will start in on it again. I would love to hear what the ALPINE stereo sounds like finally after nearly 2 years of being almost installed but not heard yet. Maybe I can get it going for next winter so it can be my winter truck and I can park the Illverado in the garage and do a major lift kit on it with 22s and 35" tires.

Well, I moved, and nobody came to look at the Blazer. So I took it with me. It was easy my kid brother borrowed a trailer for the move since Uhaul wont let me have a tandem axle car hauler when I have a half ton.... Grrr... We added a better rotating hook to the cable of the winch as a kind of payment for his buddy letting us use the trailer.
Hmmm cant seem to find the pics right now of the truck in its new garage.
