Hey Blazer Forums,

Just bought myself a 95 Jimmy for pretty cheap, just going to use it for a daily driver as for which I'll be starting to tear apart my 92 Miata to build. Figured I should join in case I should any technical information, and maybe see what some of you other guys have done, and etc.

Here's a pic (sorry that it's a crappy cell phone pic),

Orlando, east Orlando to be exact.

Also guys, thanks for the warm welcome, but I was talking to a buddy of mine with an S10 and he was talking about using shackles to lift the truck up about 2", he said it takes five minutes, so I guess that'll be my first "mod"...lol.

Shackles and t-bar crank, eh? Many members here have done it. Don't go too high, or you'll start going through CV axles real fast. I think most have done 1.75". Not too sure...

East Orlando? Not too far from where I stay.

Ya, that's what I was thinking 1.5-2" or so in the front, and around 2" in the back, should make it look a little more intimidating, which is pretty much my goal since I've been daily driving a Miata for so long.

Thanks, yes, it's a pretty nice sized crack, there's some other damage around it too, not sure if I'll ever replace it though.
