I wanted to know if I can cut off the extra threads on my axles? I have a 97 blazer 4 door all wheel drive, I bought wheels for it and the axle threads stick out too far to put the center caps on the front. I can take some pictures if needed.

 

i dont see no problem with it. i used to do it all the time on my other s10s as i didnt have a deepwell socket. just make sure you cut it with the nut on so it will repair any threads on its way off and leave at least 2-3 threads past the nut.

 

okay cool, I didn't think it would be a problem either. I wanted to make sure first though, time to bust out the hack saw and get to it then.

 

That thing is the street version of my truck lol I even had the same 2 tone.

 

the brown is going to be satin black to match my wheels, I can't stand the brown.

 

Neither could I lol. But I just went a different way with my blaze

 

Yea I saw the post on this blazer, that's were I got the idea to paint the brown black actually. I love the way it looks, what kind of paint did you use again?

 

Mine is bedliner I kept getting little rock chips so it was a good option for me.

 

Is it smooth? I know bed liner has chunks of rubber and normally has a textured finish to it.

 

Its not to rough but its deff textured.
