My '95 S10 Blazer LT project
 
I have 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer LT 4-doors 4x4. I am planning on working on this Blazer. I have a part-time job so the money fund will be slow. This will be my daily driving vehicle but will take it off-road a little but not alot. I will post the pictures later when I get home from work.

Back home from work. Here are the pictures of the Blazer. Feel free to bring up any ideas for me to do.

paint those tow hooks and give 'er a good wash and wax. you can also think about getting either a body lift or torsion crank and shackles i just did the torsion crank and i think it looks great much better. also maybe brush guard/bull bar, whichever you like

Ok thanks 98chevyblazer, I am going to paint them tow hook hope this weekend if the weather is alright and warm. Could I go with black or grabber green? How hard and expensive to do the torsion crank and shackles or body lift. I only work part-time.

Will the torsion crank or shackles infect on my gas mileage?

Thinking about taking the factory pinstripes off on my Blazer.

Torsion crank and shackles didnt affect my gas mileage at all, but i went from a 235 size wrangler rt/s to a 30" bfg all terrain and it brought my gas mileage down from like 22-24 highway to around 19-21, but i think it sits nicer now. You can't really notice that it does unless youre staring at the wheel wells, but i like the look. all i did was buy the shackles off ebay for around 55 bucks and the torsion crank is free, but my bolts were rusted stuck in the shackle so i had to have a shop do it and they installed new bushings and bolts and an alignment for 193 bucks, so not bad overall i guess. they did the torsion crank too :D looking better btw!

Ok I might be doing that next but need to find somebody that know how to do that. But I only have 235/75/15 tires right now.

Im sure it'll still look good with the 235's, just search around the forum and see what you can find
