Nice, looks like it's in pretty good shape. What are the plans for it?

Not gonna go crazy with it, like the 31`s so may just keep the suspension stock, less headaches. Want to put my winch on it. Gonna using it a lot on the highway. Heres some progress today. Roof basket on.

First mod, had to remove the piece in front of the front tire and trim a bit. Backspaced rims rubbed

I just saw your ads on craigslist for the lights and tires. Congrats on the Z, I might have missed it somewhere else but what happened to your 4 door?

How much tread is left on those bfg's your selling btw?

Oil cooler line fell off pumped all the oil out and fried the motor. Spring clip holding the line to the radiator was missing (didnt know it ) started it up, pumped the oil out in my driveway and drove it a half mile till it died. Fixed it, started it up and had a bad knock that just got worse with time. Always wanted a ZR2 anyway

newguy 03-29-2015 07:06 PM

someone is coming to look at them right now

newguy 03-30-2015 05:55 AM

sold the tires that came with it in 4 hours on craigslist.

rexmburns 03-31-2015 06:03 PM

Man that looks good with that wheel and tire combo!!

newguy 03-31-2015 07:03 PM

Thanks Rex!

A couple of new items new ZR2 stickers and some ACDELCO coilover shocks. Had a little sag in the 145000 mile leafs and the Coilovers brought it back up

Tajohns34 04-06-2015 08:54 AM

Where did you get the coil overs? That sounds like what I need since I have 150k and my leafs are definitively sagging.

newguy 04-06-2015 04:36 PM

amazon.com

newguy 04-06-2015 06:45 PM

Taking stuff off my 98 to put on the 2000. Man I had a lot of stuff on it

Tajohns34 04-07-2015 07:46 AM

Wow, They are way cheaper than I thought. I will probably order a set and throw them on this summer. I buy almost all of my parts from Amazon lately.

Bought some brackets to hang my hi lift

Attachment 30878

newguy 05-20-2015 04:29 PM

Starting on my winch today. Want to mount it behind the lower airdam out of sight. Going to try and hide the fairlead behind the plate and put the plate on a spring loaded hinge. We`ll see. Pics when done

newguy 11-01-2015 09:56 AM

Should I go for it? Chevrolet S10 Blazer Front Winch Bumper

justice4x4 11-01-2015 12:13 PM

Your ZR2 is looking good newguy. I like the look of the that bumper. That's close to how I'm going to design mine

newguy 11-01-2015 01:08 PM

Some new stuff going on soon. Led light bars and maybe the bumper. Drive truck and am in the area often. pick it up and save shipping

newguy 11-07-2015 12:30 PM

40 inch lightbar installed

https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1446921016

maroon96blazer 11-07-2015 12:45 PM

the new build is looking good can you show us how you mounted the light. i wanted to do something similar in terms of mounting an led light bar up there

newguy 11-07-2015 04:57 PM

no pics, sorry, bought brackets I thought would work but couldnt use mounting hardware supplied. So, I pull the molding off and welded them on LOL

rexmburns 11-07-2015 05:16 PM

Loving where your going with this thing! Made any decisions on the Logan's bumper yet? I've seen two versions in person and they do really nice work. I personally prefer the more expensive version just because it hides the winch better but the other it's also very nice and is very well built!

newguy 11-07-2015 05:28 PM

Ordered and picking up thursday. Hopefully have it on this weekend. I have a welder and can add later on

lazyboyjake 11-08-2015 07:32 PM

What mounts did you buy for the light bar?

DesertStorm 11-09-2015 12:04 PM

can you post some pics of the lightbar brackets? my lightbar will be here tomorrow and i am going to try to fab some mounts for it. i ordered a 42"

newguy 11-12-2015 06:26 PM

Can't post pics till this weekend. Truck driver and I'm on the road. Did get my bumper today, the thing is sweet

newguy 11-13-2015 04:11 AM

http://rs561.pbsrc.com/albums/ss51/w...h=480&fit=clip. Picked up my bumper, really like it, nice work. They had a dozen or so other bumpers there also. Nice people, small shop. If you don't want to pay shipping and live within 5 hours or so, go for it. Road trip with wife or gf. You won be sorry

Toocute350 11-13-2015 05:40 AM

I like that cold air set up you have.How much did it cost plus how is fastened down?I know it`s not just sitting their dangling around.
