Yeah it used to be that way for sure! But $1800 a month in child care alone plus rent utilities and day to day expenses really adds up quick and hurts the play budget pretty bad. I've found a few sets of 35s for good prices but I really want to go with 37s so I'm trying to hold out. I'm dying to get it built that's for sure.

 

Did their end up being anything last week?! I hate seeing this thread fall below the top five spots!

 

I should have done progress updates by next week. I've been so busy it's ridiculous! For small updates my brake lines came in so maybe tomorrow I can get the lines bent up and my gears for the 14b have shipped so that's another step closer. Warmer weather will help give me a push to get going in it as well.

 

three days and meany beers later I found the end of this build thread (for now!)
Great rig Rex and all the pics are really valuable, for example I cant believe I didnt think to put a small hose on the fluid container when filling up my diffs. Does the NP231C Tcase work with the newer blazers as well (98)? I like the 45, I have a m&p 40 co2 bb with fiber sights lol, bean meaning to get my license and a real gun for a while but never seem to do it. If I do get a build thread started it would truly be a 'small build thread' compared to yours.

 

Thanks for compliments! Yes the 231c will work with the newer blazers I believe it is just a matter of a few wire adjustments for the trans to shift properly and the speed sensor to work but there are a few write-ups around the web about it.

 

I actually did something today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing major just got the lines plumbed up for the brakes on the 14b. Of course Murphy's law bit me when I was almost finished and ran out of wire in the welder with a 1" weld to go I'll get some more tomorrow and put a quick line down and then throw some paint over it and tighten everything up! I'm not overly happy with my bends but I couldn't find my bender so I used my welding pliers and my hands lol. My OCD may force me to straighten out the waves in them once everything is tight but for now I'm happy.

 

looking great man cant wait to see them in the blaze!

 

Wow, I just have to say your blazer is amazing!! I've been following your build for a while, and I gotta say I love some of your ideas, especially the raised floor. I just built one of my own today, and its not done yet, but finding tan carpet is gonna be tricky, lol. Good luck with the build, you never fail to impress me man, good work!

 

Thanks for the compliments guys!! Farley the floor looks good. I found my carpet on amazon for pretty cheap.
I also got a little package from UPS today

 

man, will you do this work on the jimmy. for free? Thanks.
