LOL My hunters killed a few bear this spring. Biggest was 395 lbs which is HUGE for the spring hunt. Getting the Blazer ready for the fall hunt now. Been booking Moose hunters in Maine and NB. Going to be busy from Late August through October. Love my office though.

Rancho RS9000XL's are installed and I like em. LT235 75/15 Duratracs are on. I like them also. lol

Bed coated one side of the buggy and undercoat has been started.

When I put the shocks on I still had 1" difference between the pass. and driver side in height. I crawl under and look at the torsion bolts and one (pass side) is a full 1/2" farther in than the drivers side. I evened them up and added a little more to get 32" to the wheel well. 3/4" of bolt still showing. I have 33" to the back wheel wells.

Thinking about 1.5" wheel spacers for the back but unsure????..???

should get pics up tomorrow.

Wow my favorite part about this build so far is the fact that it's the same blazer as mine minus the wheels! I plan on doing the bed liner and am glad to see it looks awesome on blue! Now if only you'd put on a 2.5" lift, some Jegs D window wheels, KC lights, and a brushguard/bull bar... Keep up the good work!

VHF is a marine radio. I live close to the ocean and everyone uses VHF on land and sea. Same idea as a cb except has weather and coast guard emergency channels.
