I'm thinking bout attaching mounts to the ceiling of the blazer(not this design but similar to this concept)
I would use them for my crappie poles and bowfishing bows. Anyone ever do something similar to this? I'm not sure how to go about mounting anything to the ceiling, I've never tore into it. My guess is there's a sheet(the roof) then you would screw the mount to braces that are elevated between headliner and roof.

Well I ordered precut window tint from eBay. First time doing window tint so it turned out eh, but I WILL be ordering the same product again as I have learned some tricks and what not to do. And for under $13 shipped I can't really complain. I also did a sun strip or eyebrow tint on the windsheild and love it. Really helps driving 30minutes to school straight towards the sun in the mornings. Here are some before and after pics.
And here are the afters
Here''s an inside view of the eyebrow

This morning I crank the tbar up 1.5". IMO it rides a lot better. I'm waiting for my add-a-leaf and swapping tires to my new wheels to get an alignment. Should be early next week.
Also made up a rough raise floor in the rear with some scrap wood I had laying around. Not sure if I want to finish off the right side or leave as-is. Here's a few pics.

The tint looks GREAT! It's something I'm wanting to do for my front windows, but I need to go lighter than what you did, but I can go as dark as you did for the windshield. I'm also wanting to add tint to the factory tinted rear windows to help darken it down as my cargo area will be pretty much stuffed with subwoofer cabinet and toolchest.

This is what I got for windows.

It is precut but I suggest trimming some off the bottom. It was a little long and caused mine to wrinkle a tiny bit. Other than it being a tad too long, this was a great buy.
This is the windshield I used

Had to remove my rear view mirror for this but it was easy to do.
Also had to get a $10 kit from oreilly for application. some walmarts also carry the same kit.

Keep an eye on your cv joint boots, they like to pull off with cranked tbars. Also make sure you grease everything

Getting my tires mounted on my new wheels in the morning, then putting on my add-a-leaf that came in the mail today. Also my front tow shackles should be in tomorrow. Then all she needs is an alignment and done spending money for awhile.

Well UPS, FedEx, and USPS all came today, it was exciting. got some parts for my car and some suspended rod holders idea I've been throwing around. Got passenger side leaf on today then got called into work....Tomorrow should have other one on then alignment. Driver's side sits 1/2" lower in rear right now but didn't manage to measure before and after height. Almost forgot, got my new wheels on this morning. I really like the look, and love the offset. Not always a fan of black wheels but I think it looks sharp with the bedliner and dark window tint. Now just gotta get her leaf on, aligned and then wash her up. My buddy also said he'd make me a sweet roof rack, just gotta figure how to mount it.
Well here's some pics(She'd look better with clean tires)
Also I'm spraying the front hub center and lugnuts with black undercoat spray can, I did it to the rears while I had the tires off but missed some spots
