Kind of new.
Well ive been around, just kind of lerking for info and parts mainly, but i figured id start posting some. Basically, Im from Buffalo/Niagra Falls area in Western NY.
Onto the Rig.
I have a 96 blazer 2 door.
Bought it as a daily driver as i didnt want to drive my other car alot.
Still using it as a daily while i am making slight changes.
after 12 months of stock i decided to take it in a puddle. Thats when it all changed. I went out and got a 2 inch body lift, and 31x10.5 Mud terain Firestone Destinations. They rubbed. So I got 3.5 Inches with my Shackles Torsion bars, and keys.
Then came new shocks, ball joints, Tie rods (inner and outer). New axle seals. Alignment.
Then the fun stuff haha. Took some Leather seats out of a 4 door bravada. threw an alpine headunit and type r sub in the rear. small and out of the way 10". Escort Radar. and some Lights up front.
So i changed the front lights from the cheap free ones in my garage to jeep Wrangler stock fogs. Got em from work, so i couldnt argue, also free and really bright.
Put the center section of a brush guard on also (didnt like the sides) and truck bed linered from half way down the door to the undercarrage.
Then i took it out to Jeepskool. Put a rock thru my oilpan. New engine needed. Now i got skidplates all over lol. ill get new pics up eventually lol.
Anyways, a few action shots.
*note. All before i put the rock in oil pan and changed the few things.
Leaving for Jeepskool
just got there. playin around a bit.
Camp (not me)
River crossing
More river crossing (big river haha)
Little snag getting out of river. no pictures of it on its side, but it was, luckily the mud craddled it and no damage, other than maybe a mirror.
And then a rock went thru oil pan. 900$ tow bill home from clev. and a broken *** truck. lol.
But random camping pictures too
Got a bit snagged on the hill when my frame left me teatering. (thats the ex, not me either) haha.
Oh well, maybe ill meet some people and learn some stuff on here lol
