Default hey everyone

hello everybody, names as you can see Peter Lucas. Im from Tiburon, California. I am an Industrial Design student in san francisco. I had an s-10 xtreme single cab stepside 4.3 5-speed really sick truck. Loved the engine so much and wanted something with 4x4 like my previous truck (2001 Dodge Dakota AWD/4x4 V8 =12MPG) I got my blazer with 86,000 on it, perfect interior, perfect everything really! I picked it up for a fair $4800.00 private party.

It's a 2000 with the LS package and 4x4.

I bought it bone stock.

so far here is a list of modifications. (will try and keep list updated!)
-Trailer brake light female end connector installed (so I can tow my boat)
-I took the metal off the underside of the butterfly valve (more air at lower rpm = free low end power)
-16/9.5/30 Toyo all terrain tires.
-K&N air filter
-New Battery
-Bosch wipers
-cb radio
-alpine deck
-alpine 500 watt mono amp
-alpine 10" type r driver

I love the "do it yourself" stuff and want to learn as much as I can so I plan on contributing and give back as much as I can, because thats the beauty of a forum!

Welcome from the city of sails - Auckland, New Zealand.

Nice truck. Why's the stereo on the right side of the steering wheel?

Welcome to the forum. Nice looking ride. What kind of DIY mods are you looking into?

I know that I want to do a cold air intake and full exhaust

any recommendations? I am thinking k&n intake with a flowmaster 44 muffler.

not sure on what cat converter to use. I hear a high flow cat is better. who makes a high flow that will match up with the 44?
