ready set MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, i believe this is the point at which the mod bug bit real hard.


first mod, 2" shackles and t-bar crank

that led me to my second mod....slipped cv boots


3.00 a side fix...not to shabby.

then later that year....



so far not to bad, all subtle changes.

some radio mods....aux cable hard wired into aux deck.


replaced all stock radio lights....ooooo...ahhhhh


then to end the year. yup bedliner the rockers.



and painted up the some stock wheels that i swapped on


and some lights for the stock rack


brush guard fab job


and bumper swap


with a valance trim to tie it in


and a little touch of leather



sooo much nicer than the stock seats.

and of course the overhead upgrade


and a radio display tweak to match the overhead



blue is much nicer...harder to read sometimes though.

and thats where the mod bug stopped me....or i thought....

Def a solid vehicle.. congrats on the modificaitons..

i think for the over head mod you have to use the display for your year...i dont believe 98-newer will work on 97-earlier.
i dont know why...guessing its a computer thing

How did you mount the rear tire carrier? I got one from the local yard but scared about mounting it on my blazer. I'm not sure how to mount it to where it just won't rip the sides a back off when off roading. Thanks and nice built can't wait to get to that point in mine.

check the diy threads. but its really not that hard just pull the carpet and plastic from the passangers side rear and you'll get an idea of what you will have to do
