maybe it wasn't BTO but JTR. I think in the manual they talk about a reluctor ring setup that you can use.

This is with the 1.25" spacers installed on the front.

Test fitting some of the font end parts.

Bushwacker cutout flares. With the spacers allows the tire to fit nicely.

wow thats going to be one hell of a mean blazer jason
its lookin good man those tires and flares go great with it

i test fitted my front end today as well

i cut out some of the rad support so that i could house the rad in the support for extra clearance

i got my trusty mechanic buddy to change my ball joints and struts/shocks while the front end was off since its quite easy once the front end is off


oh and i also finally got my reverse opening hood system to work!
went to the pick-a-part and grabbed the hinge system off of some old honda that had the reverse opening hood
then basically transfered the system over and it works beautifully
ill get some pics tomorrow!

Nice suicide hoods are sick. Yea I have my rad mounted all the way forward with the taurus fan. I have about 1/4" clearance between the water pump pulley and the fan. It's a lot closer than I thought it would be. I might have to move the fan out to the drivers side a little more.

ive done a bit of work to mine since last update
got my headers fitting and they look awsome
you can somewhat see the one side headers in this pic

got new doors cause they were rusting and fixed the rear quarter panel that was rusting as well
painted the inside of the doors and im getting close to having the whole truck ready for paint



got rid of the column shift and installed this floor shifter out of a 2004 blazer
i took the consol out of the 04' and shortened it to fit just where my 86's consol fit











oh and i also found out a solution to my spedometer problem.
i talked to the guys at this tranny shop and they said that once the truck is done to bring it over and they will convert this peice on my transfer case that will allow for my spedo to work
and they can do it without having to take the T-case out or anythign so thats good news


and my wheels with the tires mounted
