VERY nice work! Clean truck!
Need to get that bumper trim back on or those holes filed in though.:icon_couchhide: |
yeah I'm searching for the one that fits my truck but just don't really want to pay the $80 that I find it for. Haven't found too many junkyards around here either which also hurts the cause :D
|
Wow... beautiful... I love the gauges like that too... I think the Camaro berlinettas had something kinda similar
|
WOW...this truck is in amazing condition!! The interior is mint. Very nice ride man. I'm with Kyle though..fix up them holes in the rear bumper :)
|
nice job, cant believe how clean it is.
|
yea it was clean when you bought it, the little upgrades you did make it look that much cleaner and give it the unique look. nice job!
|
on with the fun stuff...please excuse the dirty blazer

I'm liking it a lot. Wish we didn't have rust here :(
Keep the pictures coming :D |
OMG! that thing is pristine!
Welcome to the forum! (heads up like 10 of the pics in the first post are broken) |
thanks for the comments and the heads up, think I got them all fixed now
|
|
thats a great looking truck. I'm really impressed by the work so far.
Great looking typhoon in the garage too:icon_hyper: |
thanks, I ordered 2" blocks for the rear yesterday to get rid of the reverse rake that I have goin on
|
Clean your front rims...get rid of that brake dust :)
Looking good so far though. Is that as low as you're going? |
Your idea of a dirty truck is not the same as mine. (Yours always is clean)
That interior is amazing, looks real comfy. I like that Typhoon and Eclipse (Mazda RX7?) That you have in those pics. Nice little assembly of vehicles! |
Nice blazer, wicked clean if I ever found one in that nice of shape it would be in my driveway in a heartbeat.... my 99 aint even that clean lol.
|
thanks everyone, to answer a few questions and respond to some comments :D :
once I put the 2" blocks on the rear that will more than likely be as low as I go (I'm still surprised the wife let me buy this kit...I guess the free shocks were what made the deal) I'm trying to find some time to clean this beast, should be pretty soon I'll have some daylight when I get home from work (30 mile commute into work and 30 mile commute home means that its dark when I leave and dark when I get home...for now, the days are starting to get longer) The Eclipse is my wife's, she loves it so I can't complain (that and it's paid for)...you can see more pictures here if you're interested in doing so...Wife's Car and as for now I'm trying to decide if I want to keep my stock wheels, go with new style ZQ8's, or maybe even do some Corvette Wagon Wheels, still pretty undecided about it all. Another option was to paint my stock rims, perhaps a gun metal color with the silver lip. I don't know, I'm more or less leaning towards the ZQ8's though. http://s-seriesforum.com/albums/albu...5zq8.sized.jpg I would also like to get a roll pan and a new hitch to help clean up the back of the blazer |
Stick with the ZQ8's...they're awesome.
|
The rims/tires in the original pix look great, dont change them
|
truck was extremely clean (from pics anyways) when bought, not only did you keep it clean, you put your own twist on of cleanliness on it, lovin it man!

imo those wheels are nice, but the ones you got, flow with the truck better. |
little update:
got tired of looking at the old crusty drum brakes, so I decided to "fix" them until I go through with a rear disc brake conversion before: http://s-seriesforum.com/albums/albu...15_2.sized.jpg after: http://s-seriesforum.com/albums/albu...0517.sized.jpg http://s-seriesforum.com/albums/albu...0557.sized.jpg took off the 3" blocks that I installed last weekend and put on 2" blocks to level it out and get rid of the squat http://s-seriesforum.com/albums/albu...0546.sized.jpg http://s-seriesforum.com/albums/albu...0547.sized.jpg http://s-seriesforum.com/albums/albu...0550.sized.jpg http://s-seriesforum.com/albums/albu...52_2.sized.jpg you may also notice that the blazer is clean :D |
Looks very nice. How low are you going?
|
as everyone has already stated, that is one clean 2WD 4 door.
but like a few have already asked, i'm just gonna say it-you need to go lower. don't bag it, just coils & 4" blocks would be nice. :icon_wink: |
thanks, that is as low as it is going. I didn't want to be slammed, just a little lower and "sportier" looking
|
ZQ8's are expensive though... If you're willing to pay it'd look good, the next thing I'd do after the roll pan is lok at ditching that rear spare... but that's just me.
|
just woundering why did you drop the back down 3" but the front down 2" ? i want to lower my 95 blazer 4door 4wd. down 1" does that mean i got s to drop the rear 2"? but then what if i but stuff in the back. then wouldnt the rear b lower than the fron? just confused. aslo take the spare tire off the back and chang from 2wd to 4wd.

I don't really have any other place for the spare tire so it has to stay where it is. And I already have a lowered "4wd" :D Thanks again for all the comments |
i like your project, you havent made any significant changes at all. all subtle changes most people wouldnt notice if you didnt tell them and it looks great. nice truck.
|
thank you, I appreciate the comments.
