been doing some small stuff to the blazer, k&n drop in filter, accel cap, rotor and coil and replaced the rear sway bar links. and the driver side window motor gave out so i have a new one sitting in the garage waiting to be put in. heres a few new pics for you guys that werent taken with a cell phone



tinted tail lights


i could only find 4 ZR5's, gotta do something with the spare. im still looking for a 5th rim, but untill then im going to throw a tire cover over it. black or camo? what do you guys think?


a better pic of the front end, she's a little dirty, dont mind the bugs lol


and what you guys have been waiting for, the new wheels and tires


i went to the local speed shop, the only wheel nuts they had in stock were spline drive, so i got them to order me a set of 3/4" hex wheel nuts which should be in tomorrow, and a 5 peice wheel lock set, which should be here in about a week.

also before winter i am planning on doing shocks, shackles, a t-bar crank and get an aligenment.

you guys have any recomendations for shocks? i dont really plan on lifting it any more then the shackles/t-bar. might consider a body lift, but not any time soon

I have the exact same tires, bad-*** for the price and value. What type of bed-liner did you go with?

Looks good!

I just recently got Rancho RS5000's in all 4 corners. So far I love them! Nice truck! Normally I'm not a fan of green, but I really like it on your ZR2.

KYB shocks all around. I love them & they're good for off & on road. A great all around shock that has a true pedigree unless you go off road more than on, then you get user specific.
A general purpose, really good shock absorber that's tough to beat.

NIce looking truck BTW!
