Lets give this one last try.

Fortunat72 · 11-05-2009, 06:33 PM

Some of you may have seen my truck before

How i got it

Took off the stickers painted the front bumper, got rear speakers, fix the whole rear end suspension, new ball joint up front, muffler fixed, and the rear diff rebuilt.

Then one night driving down the high way a raccoon decided it was smart to run infront of a car doing 80 so that put a crack in the front bumper so i got a free ls bumper from drmrman.

Then i was pretty much done with the truck and was gonna sell it but no1 wanted a lowered blazer. And stupid me listening to my brothers and dad saying lift it and try to sell it, i put a 2inch body lift in, some moog5664 coils in, ripped out the drop blocks and took off the side skirts.

While i was waiting for it to sell i took it off roading twice, first time i got stuck.

Second time i blew out 3 tires. (sorry no pictures) After seeing it up on jack stands for a week and seeing pictures of it lowered and other blazers i couldnt help myself and i knew what had to be done.

I got 2inch wheel spacers and first gen zq8s wheels from drmrman for a small price.

And new MSD spark plug wires and AC Delco Platinum plugs.

This is where i stand today. Unfortunately i got the swine flu 3 days ago so i missed out on work which means i am unable to purchase my new front drop coils and roll pan in two weeks and ofcourse i cant work on the truck.

Future plans : Full engine tune up, 3in belltech drop leafs, 1inch belltech drop coils, i already have 2inch belltech drop spindels, new control arms (dont kno which kind yet), black c6 rims, SS bumper, SS mirros, Roll Pan from SD, Ram air cowl hood, bolt in notch from SD, all new shocks, 5spd conversion, possibly ripping out the engine and putting a v8 in it but that will be next winter most likely after i finish up school (Goin to Lincoln Tech so i can futher my knowlodge with engines, transmissions, and drivetrain) and a few things in the interior like new seats, led dash conversion, and a kicker system. Will keep you guys updated with pics once i get rid of this pig flu

sadexcuse4s10 · 11-05-2009, 08:30 PM

stv-lo · 11-05-2009, 08:51 PM

So you f*cked up a nice Blazer, f*cked it up again, then got swine flu? FYL.

Hope it looks as good as it did.

Fortunat72 · 11-05-2009, 09:10 PM

lmao its gonna get lowered again and the extreme kit was coming off either way. The problem when it was lowered was the ride was soo dam ruff and i would bottom out all the time.

slonlow2000 · 11-07-2009, 03:25 AM

Wow you fvcked that up, hope you get it back to where it was at least, but if you tried "offroading" a xtreme blazer I dont see you fixing it haha.

Best of luck.

rusty10690 · 11-07-2009, 03:50 AM

lol it was a good time and it did good till i was doing 30 through a huge mud puddle and got air off the other end of it and yeah, thats how the tires blew lolshould be looking alot better once the bodylift is out

fitbmx180 · 11-07-2009, 09:19 AM

if it rode like shit why wouldnt u invest in making it ride better, looked soo clean when u first got it.. and u said ur dad and brothers said it wouldnt sell when its lowered.. well apparently it didnt sell when it was raised either

ls1s10onair · 11-07-2009, 10:01 AM

ok, i agree that lifting it was an odd choice at best, but its ur truck, so f**k it.......... i was driving right behind that truck with the body kit on only a few weeks ago, wasnt i? I saw you by dunkin donuts in river vale, unless that was someone else

***98layinframe*** · 11-07-2009, 02:31 PM

wow... poor blazer.

i did invest in making it ride better, it rides 100x better now with the lift but i miss the lowered look thats why instead of doin it with blocks im doing leafs in the rear notching the frame and getting drops coils in the front. and ive tried selling it both ways and it hasnt sold. Thank god though i think i would regret it so much if i did get rid of it.

yeah its only been lifted for about a month and i did it so it rode better. I hated the kit so even if its lowered or lifted it was coming off.

Don't mind the douche bags..just cause they don't like it, they think people care about their opinions...keep an update as you get this thing going.

granted yes.. with all that done im sure it will look nice. But for the mean time sorry but it just looks funny with the rear steps still hanging on but rest of the kit gone, and the body lift with tiny little tires.

Maybe after some lift spindles and shackles or stock non zq8 blazer leafs it would look more respectable as a "lifted" truck. (again sorry just not a fan of body lifts by them selves on S series trucks.)

My main point was the truck looked nice, and sat at a nice stance. Ya lifted it up and made it look goofy, and now came back to your senses and are going to lower it back down. Just hope it rides nicer for ya the second time around.
