Default New guy, from ontario

Hey guys, my names Chris, I'm new to the site. looks like a great place. I have a 87 s10 blazer 4x4. as of now it has a 2" torsion key/shackle lift on 31s. I have a 3" body lift in the mail. I have owned it for close to 2 years. bought it for $2000 with only 93,000kms. just recently messed up the front end due to some off-roading. nothing too serious I don't think. debating doing a solid front axle swap maybe next spring since I need it on the road for winter commuting.

anyway here's some pictures.

2.8. Hoping to do a swap though so I don't need to draft big rigs on the highway to keep up haha.

Haha I hear that! If your lookin to do a switch you should see if you can pull a cyclone out of an 89 model. That's what I have and it's just ****! The thing will live forever and we are talking about some intense power. Im shore you know it's basically a chopped 350. I know a couple guys that have dropped them into smaller cars and used as dragsters. Mines hot 230k plus miles on it and it sit for a couple years, still starts right up and runs like new.
