2010.06 ROTM - bandidolenny
#1
Congratulations to Lenny for his ROTM win in June. Here's his run down on his truck:
When I bought my 1998 Blazer in the fall of 2009 it was bone stock. I started modifying it soon afterwards...
Yes, I really am running 15"x10" wide wheels... along with 31"x10.50" BFG AT's. I would love to run bigger tires but I just can’t do it without more lift.
2" Rough Country suspension lift: The 2" Rough Country suspension lift proved to be a real pain at first because I made the mistake of trying to get too much lift out of the front which caused all kinds of havoc.
2" Performance Accessories body lift: The body lift was the best money spent in my opinion.
Trimmed fenders: I trimmed the front wheel wells with a hacksaw (I have a thread on this) to keep the tires from banging into them... turned out to be a very easy modification.
2" Rear wheel spacers: I only run these for looks... I just wanted my rear tires to stick out a little further.
Fender flares: I got the fender flares from LMC truck and modified them a bit for my own taste.
Surco Safari rack: This item cost me about $500 but I actually use the heck out of the thing. I keep my Hi-Lift jack and shovel up there and there is extra room for whatever else. It also makes a great mount for my off-road lights!
The engine is stock and sports a K&N air filter with free flow exhaust.
I have an anodized aluminum brush guard that I got used from a guy for $150.
I have all 6 of my off-road lights wired and working for those late night adventures!
Also – No… there is no such thing as a “Z85 BAJA” Blazer! I bought the decals on eBay and slapped’em on because I like the way they look. General Motors did make a BAJA S-10 pickup in the late 1980’s… that’s where I got the idea.
My newer pics have an updated version of the Z85 decal. Thanks to everyone that voted for me!
