It lift's up instead of flipping down like an s10. Not sure if the previous owner swapped it or if it came that way. I've only had it for about 2-3 weeks.

Thinking of getting these headlights HERE and these bumper lights HERE along with these tail lights HERE but haven't quite made up my mind on tail lights yet. The only bad part about those tail lights is that big red block that sticks out. So far though that's what I've thought about for mods. I'm open to suggestions for tail lights , I'd like to stick with LEDs if there are any decent ones out there. Let me know what you guys think about the head lights and bumper lights I'm thinking about also.

EDIT: Another thing I don't like on this Blazer is the wheels , open to cheap decent looking suggestions there. My wife suggested spinners , I laughed and said yeah , $1000 a wheel :\

Ahhhh, that was the other possibility I considered, but thought those were only available on the Envoy edition Jimmys.

I love the headlights and bumper lights. Not such a big fan of the tails though.

For wheels, what style are you looking to go for? offroader, lowered AWD street truck, etc?

Dunno about wheels , I haven't really taken the time to search around. I'm not too big on style , just anything at the moment would probably look better then the stock wheels. As far as tires go , I've got a set of these coming Destination LE: Bridgestone Tires

Don't get those tail lights, they are for a full size blazer/jimmy.

Any suggestions we could give will be based on style though, haha. For example, with those tires, it would seem more of a street cruiser type of truck that you want. A set of American Racing Maverick Machined w/Anthracite Accentthose would probably look good.

However, if you want more of an offroader look, Camaro wheels are very popular. Wouldn't really look too good with that set of tires though.

Any suggestions for LED tail lights?

I actually like the way those wheels look , but yeah I drive mostly on pavement , but 1/4 of the time I'm on gravel roads.

Probably want something with more of a "street" flair then. I'm a big fan of 5 spoke wheels like the ones I linked to.

Yea they def look good , I'll do some searching see what I can get a set for. What's your opinion on some tail lights? I'd like it to match the chosen headlights/bumper lights and possibly be LEDs if possible. I've searched a few sites so far and have came up empty handed. That big red reflector box just looks so tacky.

There are several members here who have aftermarket taillights, and I believe they're all LED ones as well. My suggestion (since I haven't really looked into them much...yet) would be to browse around, especially in the builds section. Lots of great vehicles there to glean ideas from.
