Well I got a bit of a start on the BL today. I am at a stopping point since I decided I want to replace the body bushings while I'm at it. Spent about 1.5 hours on it today and everything is off and the body mount bolts are all loose and ready to come out. Here's a couple pics.
BL obviously

Before I started

This is how I got all the body mount bolts loose Its good to have friends with air tools and a lift!

And here's how it sits right now.


All I have to do is loosen the gas filler neck and disconnect the battery again and I can start lifting it. Hopefully I can get it done by the end of the week but I'm not sure I won't have any time the next two days at least

 

Wont the new location of the handle be hard to get to when the door is shut? its lower left corner correct? I don't see that being a viable location for it.

 

Most of the door will be gone when I'm finished. I am planning to cut it right at the body line basically where the bedliner stops on my doors now so I will be easy to reach in and open it once that's done. From eyeballing everything I should have just enough clearance for the handle to open the door.

 

You really need to take the bug shield off

 

I will I am just keeping it for right now cause it was protecting my new paint from rock chips a bit while the paint was drying. It will come off before the blazer is back on the road.

 

Just busting ya Rex, its yours and if you like it keep it

 

Lol I figured but for now I have decided that I don't like it on there so it will come off. I may change my mind as time goes on who knows.

 

Maybe if you add the window ones?

 

rex u truly are a inspiration to us all keep up the great work man love ur build thread

 

I agree I really want some window vents but I'm afraid I would rip them off or destroy them in some way on a trail cause I've ran branches down the side of my truck on several occasions

Thanks gitch I am just trying to give back what I get from everyone else on here!
