Default Project money pit.

2002 blazer bought with 120 000km
I was eligible for bg oil lifetime protection plan so I bought it
Went with rc 2.5 lift kit
change ball joints, inner outer tie rods, sway bar link a bit longer, idler, pitman, leaf springs, cv axles
Separate trans cooler

so this is my everyweevend backroad fishing truck


I'm headed up to a lake up a mountain one weekend (4×4 trail) and I hear a grindingrinding Out of the t case, needed a new one in the end, luckily my bg oil warrenty coverd it all.

Then another weekend I pop a cv axle that needed
Then the fuel pump.goes way up in the backroads with nothing around
she's fixed now
But now my transfer case motor needs replacement
my evap sensor is on and I now have metal shards in my differential, luckily the diff is fully covered with bg oil.
All in all the blazer is a money pit but I still love it 😅

Nice! I just got done fitting 31’s the other day but I put a 2” body lift and 2” lifted shackles with 1.5” t bar crank before. Still needed to trim some and take the lowest fender liner bolts off so it doesn’t rub anymore. If you are ever in the okanagan we should go wheeling though!

Did you have any rubbing on the sway bar, that's my concern, I couldnt find any offset wheels so I settled with pro comp 51, now I'm considering spacers...considering. but yeah man definitely if I'm in the okanagan we shall wheel! I'm on Instagram but no Facebook keaton_sarafis

I got 70.3mm to 83.82mm aluminum rings from justfotwheels.com. I called 4 wheel parts and asked them what size the rims were and they told me 3.3in.

So your telling me your running 31s with no rubbing with the pro comp steelies, I just purchased the exact same 1s, but I'm stressing that I'll rub on the sway bar hard. What year and what model blazer do you have I have a 4 door 2002 . And stressing right now looking at 1inch spacers and all this bull****
