The 31's rubbed so I installed a 2" body lift

A winch was purchased, so I had to find a way to mount it

Nice work, always nice to see another Chevy. I really like how you did the front bumper winch mod, two thumbs up!:bike_rider:
 
Nice to see another Blazer here... :smiley_drive:

Do you have more pics of that winch bumper? Maybe installing pics?

What`s your plans for the future?

The welds starting to look OK.

This shows the block I made to match the profile of the frame for more contact surface.

Bumper pics are added. As for the future, I am thinking about a doubler t-case because it will be easier on the clutch. But first will be an Eaton E locker for the rear. The G80 is OK but I hate the spin to gain traction idea.

Anyone out there running an E locker?

A roof top tent would be cool but I don't think I wouldn't get enough use out of it. :mad:

Thanks for all the complements guys! :victory: I'm pretty slow at doing the mods, it has taken me 6 years to get this much done. On the positive with all the reserch I do before the mods I have never been disappointed.
