Will someone please help me with the instillation of my new Brush Guard for my Blazer?

Well the build is still going on with little things here and there as time allows me. Over the last couple days I have managed to get my spring perches welded on and painted and then painted my springs and mounted them so I can get the brake lines made up in the next few days. They are dead level at about a 6-7 degree pinion angle which is what the back of the trans was as as well.

I also got my hub centers opened up on the H2s to fit over the 14 bolt hub. I did all for for rotation and conformity.

It's looking good Rex. Do you have an idea how much wider the wheels will sit than your current setup?

Any Updates Rex? There has to be something going on with the Blazer, you can't own an s10 Blazer and not be constantly modifying it in some form.

Nothing much lately sadly. I've been so busy at work the last couple weeks I haven't had time to do anything. That and I have had to stop spending on it since the wife was laid off family must come first. Time and weather allowing I hope to get a few things done this week. The biggest thing holding me back at the moment is not having tires. I've been looking for some but haven't found a good enough deal to talk myself into spending a few dollars and justifying it as to good of a deal to pass up lol!

Isn't everything for the Blazer too good a deal to pass up? For me anyways. Hahaha. I'm so anxious to see this thing on those beastly axles with those wheels! I updated my thread a little as well if you'd like to check it out!
