Builds like this are only done when you sell them. I had an Integra build that I was always adding to. Then the rust and mechanical issues started happening and got to be too much.

Before too long you won't be able to wreck it beyond repair.

Rex, you seem to be very knowledgeable about blazers/s10's i have a questions for you. I did the cable conversion to get rid of any vac issues with my front diff. but my 4wd still dosn't work. I actually put it in 4hi and 4lo both and the drive shaft from the transfer case is not turning in either. Any ideas?? i'm hoping my T-case is not shot.

Not pictured but on its way is my Sky crossmember.
Not at all related to the Blazer but I want to brag about how amazing my wife is in that she found me my baby that I have been searching for for over a year now trying to find locally and not spoken for!! A beautiful new M&P .45c

Now all that's left to be able to start the swap is
1. Machine and install high steer arm
2. Order steering
3. Order disk brake kit for rear
4. Install gears in both axles
5. New Bjoints, and brakes on the 44
6. Find tires
7. All the other crap I'm sure I forgot!

Thanks man! Yeah I can't complain to much she allows me to do all this crap to my Blazer and never complains as long as it doesn't take me away from my family. I'm pretty stoked about the 45 I've been searching for at least a year for one and apparently she had as well since she was on the wait list at every gun store within 100 miles lol! Now its time to get to work on upgrading it I think I will start a build thread haha! I will probably end up only doing a DCAEK and Apex trigger along with a set of decent sights and call it a day but then again I said the Blazer would stay simple........
