I will see if a blazer grill will fit on the bumper before I do anything.

Truck started to overheat on a 15 min drive, so I had to go and get a rad today. 50$ from the upull... grabbed a tensioner pulley while I was there... so far so go, rad was basicly new out of an s10.

gonna do a flush and oil change once I get back for the nascar race this weekend.

Had the stabalizer link bracket on the control arm break off... had to remove the sway bar for now... also scored another Camaro rim, so swapped out my spare. Now I got a set of 5 matching rims for both summers and winters...

Woooo, that matching spare rim looks sweet! That is exactly the reason I also bought 5 of those Camaro rims.

I've always loved them. It all started with the Camaro z28s. I cant wait for the end of next season, I get to start looking for bigger tires 😁😁.

Went to the u pull today. Was looking for a control arm, came out without one. But I got flares and aluminum skid plates, for less then 100$. Ran into a fellow blazer owner, sounded like he had a 2door r
zr2. He grabbed a centerlink, and an air box for a snorkel project.

Every time I go I never see the metal skid plates that’s a nice find

Found carbon fiber last time, did not have time to pull them tho. Was lucky and found these on a 96. Flares came off a 02 jimmy zr2.

Nice haul! I got a full set of carbon fiber skids. I tried to put the oil pan cover on and realized my blazer didn't have the rear connection pieces for it. Made another trip and got them.
I always check out the flares, but most are too rusty to remove. Looking forward to seeing I how you customize them to fit the back.

Did some work on the fender flares. Got the front driver side mocked and trimmed... now to figure out brackets, and thinking about a little spray foam behind them to add some double sided tape above the lip.
Stock flare mounts and side lip

Trimmed


Mocked into position.

I'm like a kid a Christmas... so excited lol.
