N3ROST4R's 95 s10 blazer 4x4

Ya I thought about those but no idea how to really mount them. Your lucky those flat panels make it alot easier to mount stuff.
#22
Build some "clamp" brackets of some type
#23
ya have to make a run to the hardware store and look around. I'll come up with something. l
Maybe even a flat piece on the inside of the rack with a hole then a hole in the shovel then throw a bolt throw it with a wingnut on the end...

Yeah or take you some thin plate steel and cut you out some mounts and weld up there. That will be the most secure way. I dont really know how to describe how mine are mounted but the guy that had the rack before me (it was a free score from a buddy of mine) basically has a tool that drills a hole and installs a nut in the actual frame itself so all my mounts were already there. Ill try to post up some pics tomorrow so you can understand it a little better cause I know that doesnt make a whole lot of sense.

I think I get what your saying. Just a bolt through the frame of the rack? That might not be a bad idea.
#26
No its almost like nuts have been welded inside the frame itself. Its called a nutsert if you want to google it..

I feel like banging my head against the wall. I just did a full tune up and new tranny fluid and replaced my fpr and I'm still only getting a little over 10mpg. I know running bigger tires and a roof rack will effect gas mileage but this seems a little ridiculous. It sucks I have alot of plans for the blazer but I'm not going to do anything until I know that its running right. It starts right up and idles great. I have no idea what it could be. Any suggestions?

What gear ratio do you have?
I have 31s on my ZR2 with a 3.73 rear end and get 14-15MPG

Hmmm. Well, removing the roof basket and stuff from the back would help a little, but I don't think they're the main cause. How hard to you drive it?
