I'm not sure what I'm going to do. My brother found a good deal on a S10 Crew Cab and he's trying to talk me into selling my Blazer and getting that. Even if I were to switch to a CC I'd probably keep my Camaro wheels, and just find a set of 31's to put on my Blazer when I sell it.
Nope not yet. I have more than enough cash for all the parts I'm going to need but I just need to be done college and a LOT of spare time...

How come you want a crew cab over a 4 door blazer?

I'm not 100% convinced I want to move to a CC, but there would be a few advantages. My dog get's car sick inside unless the AC is blasting, and my AC isn't working in the Blazer. In a truck with a topper I could haul quite a bit more stuff, and have better air-flow for her. I would also have the option of taking the topper off and having an open bed. It's just a consideration. My brother want's me to do it so he can get the matching wrecked CC the seller want's to include in the deal. My brother has CC, and we're kind of trying to fix up and sell S-series trucks. We have a 2001 ZR2 Blazer for sale right now.

Ahhh I get ya. Gotta do what's best for sure.

Anyone got an opinion on these? Seem like they might be alright quality-wise. Shipping is a rip off but that's nothing new to eBay.

Putting the bodylift on now. Started on saturday, got it all taken apart. Got bodylift blocks on today, hopefully get most of it put together tomorrow. Lots of rain delays in there too!

Everything is pretty smooth besides the rear bumper bolts took forever and some other badly damaged bolts. There are some odd things on these trucks though! I had a small 1/4" spacer ring on top of the core support body mount on ONLY the driver side and not passenger...

A few bolts here and there are different than the majority. Strange GM assembly line things. I just need to wait until tuesday when the stores open so I can get some gas line hose. The one in the kit is way too big. Mine has just a filler line going to the tank, then the evap canister by the gas tank. Instructions called for a vent hose right from the filler neck.

Got these new signals. These ones are surprisingly bulky. Pretty much identical to factory-build wise which is great.

I'm thinking I might hit them with some VHT though, they look almost clear in the sunlight. They're pretty dim though which is kinda making me think twice.



Got my shocks on too and the lift looks great so far. Need to buy some new bolts for my shackles before I install though because the old ones need to be cut off and I need to drop the evap canister.

Those lights look good. Are they LED or bulbs?

They are actually LEDs. They come with a little black resistor box that plugs into one connection and the other plugs right into the socket like a light bulb. Pretty neat!
