<pic snip>

plan's include removeing the spoiler, visor, and replacing cowl hood (since it has a big hole in it) and blower (since it's not hooked up) getting a roll pan and dropping the rear to get rid of the rake and then paint it either flat black or some sort of bright flat green
what would you want for the visor if you get rid of it?
ill post pics of my first gen when i get some updated ones of it

Biggie

Really like ur truck. Looks really nice. The first/ maybe only thing I would change is the hood and blower, and find a cowl hood.

And maybe the flames could go. Lol

Looks good.

Re: show off your blazer, jimmy, or bravada

My EX92Jimmy (DD) that was taken by insurance due to a rediculous fender bender, at some jackasses fault. It's been about 6 months since, feels like just last week I do know who has it at this time thankfully it didn't end up in a auto wrecker yard. He plans to repair it, and sell it.
I have since moved on to a, a stock '98 Envoy (DD) and I am getting a '93 Typhoon soon for my "fix" of loosing the Jimmy . It was the cleanest Jimmy in town, and one of 3 known RWDs. I had a 2/3 drop a month away from assembly, and 20 inch Boss rims were in the picture. Shit happends. Enjoy the pics.

Re: show off your blazer, jimmy, or bravada

ok i got a bunch of pics of my 88 s10 4x4 2dr blazer, just need to get them all in order and later updated, ill start with a front end pic of my cash for clunkers just yard deals(brush guard, lights, bug deflector)


my homemade and free tire carrier


(it used to be a hitch mounted vise holder, i found it on the side of the road, sold the vise to my neighbor for $30 and some welding lessons, had to cut it down a little to drop the tire down then i took a bent factory tire carrier, got it for free, cut the part that holds the tire on added a spacer and a hitch lock on it to get a tire carrier that earned me $30 and beginner welding skills(said skills helped me weld a brush guard off of an isuzu suv onto my bumper) not showen, is the shovel holder i have on it now.


got board, had a bunch of purple paint(i like purple, people keep giving me purple paint) again old pic, both door lock/handle covers match, the center console is gone replaced with a walmart wonder(having 4 cup holders that hold cups ****ing rules) the sagging head liner is gone, ive got an overhead console ill be adding to it when i replace said headliner


shot of the new fender(it replaced one that lost a fight with a tree, pic is pre C4C mods

future mods, the rear window is from a 92 it has the wiper(wiper works, washer will work soon just need to mount my res and pump somewhere in the back, the defroster... im working on getting it working jsut need that damned timer relay. found a pair of mint bravada leather seats, my dad will call from his shop and see what kinda discount we can get on them(as is they want $50, we are hoping to drop it to $30-40 and a pair of visors that swing out like normal, but fold down piece and the little slide out piece in the visor. oh and i need to finish painting it

side note anyone want to trade a 700r4 tranny and transfer case(auto on the tranny, stick on the 4x4) for a 2in body lift?
