Phil's Blazer
#161
As I'm finishing up the home improvement project of redoing my staircase on my lunch break, as I am walking out to the most wonderful sight a car guy can see (aside from a topless chick)- the big brown truck came and delivered these:
#162
Nice! Now order some for me ok?
#163
Its dark outside so it's not a good picture, but I got them installed after work. Now I have to add a 2" BL and 31s to my future plans.
#164
Looks good! Definitely need some bigger tires and a some very large spacers!
#165
Thanks man! I'm now saving for the lift and tires since I want to be able to do them on the same day. Only thing thats now in my mind is maybe getting some rims with a better looking backspacing. I'd like to avoid spacers if I can, they just make me nervous. Any recommendations for rims?
Oh, and I'm officially throwing it out on here. I'm tired of seeing 16 MPG city and 18 hwy with my mods. At the end of the year I've decided I'm either going to do a 5 cyl swap from a Colorado, I figured if that has a curb weight of 3700 and the Blazer has a curb weight of 3800 the HP:weight ratio will be pretty good so I should see better fuel economy from the I5 than the 4.3. Plus I would still have room for improvement on fuel econ by means of bolt ons. I want roughly 19 mpg city as an end goal. Or I'm going to keep things as is on the Blazer and put a down payment on a Jetta TDI. If I go the swap route then I know I have a lot of research to do and a few hours at the scrap yard ahead of me to make sure it wont be too tight of a fit.

Thanks dude! Install was easy. Had a second set of hands so it was just have someone hold them in place, drill a pilot hole, and fasten with self tapping screws with a washer head. I like your ZR2 flares on the 4 door. Did you have to weld a tab into the wheel well to attach them?
#168
No i actually just drilles out the body and reused the zr2 mounting hardware.
I posted a how to on it ...not to bad just involved.
