I have a 1998 2dr blazer, 4x4. I need to know if there is anyway to relocate my factory oil filter? Im afraid that a stump or rock is gonna kill it? Anyone every done this? Also I would like to move the black box that's in the rear bumper/ fender well on drivers side. I thinks it's known as a "charcoal box" either way it needs to be moved away from my approach angle! Thanks for the help and sorry if this has been already covered, I couldn't find anything on it.

 

well you need to tell us what your driving.
since i am not sure i am gonna go off what i think you can do.
the oil filter can basically be put anywhere you want, i have read that some people move it up on the frame by the wheel well.
basically you need to extend the lines, what i did was use high pressure tranny line and adjustable clamps when my oil lines went out. i mounted the new lines to the old fittings.
that method could be use to relocate the oil filter.
i would think the charcoal box would be easier, that could be move up in front of the spare maybe on the frame cross member.

all that is based on what i would do with my own ride.

 

Sounds alot easier than i was thinking! Sorry I was rushing I have a 1998 blazer 2dr 4x4. What do most of you do for skid plates up front? Thanks

 

Will Zr2 skid plates work?

 

Yes thwey will

 

Yes...i actually have the older zr2 aluminum ones on my ride

 

Is a junk yard the best place to get them? Anyone ever made there own?
