slow but steady
 

Ok, so I should have started this thread a long time ago, but I'm just now getting around to it. I've had my blazer about a year and a half, almost 2 years. We have had ups and downs, but I'm finally starting to get everything together. Its a 98 4 Dr 4x4. She stayed stock for a little bit at first other then speakers and small stuff. Then one night I fell asleep and ran into a ditch culvert. I bent the pass LCA and tore up all 4 tires and rims. I pieced it back together and added a 2 inch body lift, a t bar crank, bravada rims, and 32 11.50 15s. The previous owner replaced the rear end, but with the wrong one, so I'll be taking care of that this weekend. At the end of the month I'll be ordering my rc 2.5 kit, then a 3 inch body in a couple months. I snapped a few pix before it got dark for y'all.

Where are the pictures?

For some reason they wouldn't upload. Gonna try it on the ol lady's computer tonight.

The easiest way for me to post pictures is to upload them to photobucket and then link them

Photobucket is a much better option! You get more space and its easier to upload and post pics plus if you are on other forums you can post your pics there as well.

Ah! Ok thanks guys let me try that out!

There we go haha now how do I delete the other ones?

I'm not sure about deleting posts, but I will say that flashlight mount is sweet. Where'd you get it?

Its a stream light flashlight. I got it for Christmas its actually the charger that's mounted. Charges the flashlight and a extra battery at the same time. Brightest lil thing u can buy Lol but they ain't cheap

Deleted for you. You can post multiple pics in the same post. What I normally do when posting anything with more than one pic is type it up in my notes (iPhone) or word (desktop) and then copy and paste the post to the forum. I do this because I lost one too many long posts with multiple pics linked due to auto refresh!! You will figure it out soon enough and if you need help don't be afraid to ask;)

Thanks man. You guys have been so helpful! :)

Nice looking blazer. It looks like mine

Thanks man!

Well for today's update: she decided to throw one of her temper tantrums this morning. It was 17 degrees with a wind chill of 3. And I in sc so for here that efffing cold, and I guess she didn't like it. It overheated, but I'm pretty sure its just the thermostat. Got it towed back home, and I'm at work now, so I'll investigate when I get home.

Oh and just to top it off....my wallet was stolen.

Damn you haven't had much luck the last couple of days. Where you from

Na I havent...it sucks. I'm in Columbia sc. U?

Edina, mo

You aren't too far from me. I'm from Rome, GA. I'm there most weekends, but during the week I live in Marietta because of school.

Oh ok, cool

Radiator was completely clogged. Took anout 6 hrs to flush everything. New t stat and radiator cap. Running good. Side note: found my wallet, dog decided to hide it and chew it up. But noting inside was damaged.

Going to pull a axel in a few hrs. Nite

Finally got it out. Going to get a newly used one in the morning.

https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1421021228 got my newly used one. And as you can tell its drum unfortunately. And because of parking brake it took forever to pull, but we got it. Had to completely rebuild one side in the junk yard. She's going in in the morning. Also picked up a much needed pass mirror and antenna. Also my cb power cord came yesterday and u just hooked that up. https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1421021228

Got the rear end in, just gotta button everything up and bleed brakes after work tomorrow.

How hard was the rear end swap? I was thinking of doing one be cause I want a rear with a G80 in it.

It wasn't to hard. Would have went a lot easier if they had one with discs on it. The one I got is a g80, but it doesn't work anymore. In my experience with chevys(not just blazers) and g80s its not worth it. Eventually I'm just going to put a aftermarket locker in. They run ~350-400.

If you still have your old axle pull the carrier and put it on the shelf for when you decide to put in another locker because none of them fit in the G80 carrier!

I've got a good rear with 3.73s and G80 if you are interested. I also have the front diff to go with. I'd let it all go really cheap just to get it out of my way. Your not to far from me either lol!

Dang it! Didn't know that. I'll just pull a carrier I guess

Lol I wish I would have know that b4. I'm pretty well set with what I have now. Gonna try to put my front drive shaft in this evening and make sure everything is working as it should.

Would you sell just the rear axle? It might be a drive to get it, but it cuts out the time it would take for me to get into a junk yard, find a blazer with those options, make sure the axle looked good and then pull it. Also what is it from? just a normal 4x4 or from a zr2?

Rex, I thought about buying yours but I have the 3:43s and I don't know if I want to swap the front out also.

She wanted her picture taken next to the jeep last night. Lol

Update: I think my g80 is working!
