This is the Blazer in stock form, it fell right out of the 1990s with the chrome accents. Also the roof is rusty and the whole truck needs to be repainted


It was finally lifted in Spring of 2015


Here it is with the lift kit completed

First time offroad is a short weekend trip down to friend's ranch in Falls City, Texas, about an 1 1/2 drive from San Antonio. County and ranch roads were terrible, but the new BDS kit soaked up all the bumps and ruts nicely. We arrived at night, so unfortunately I didn't get any pictures. Here is a couple from the trip

I've put in a good amount of miles driving ranch roads and trails with this rig. I love the General Grabbers, they're not too loud on the city streets and highway, yet very aggressive offroad.

Looking good! I've always had a soft-spot in my heart for the 2 door SUV's.

Nice looking Blazer.
My daughter has a 92 and I am thinking of making a desert rig out of it. I've been eyeballing 1st generation Ford Expedition spindles and suspension parts to see if I can put the taller Ford spindles up front for more suspension travel.

Looks great, now take it out and scratch it up. Glad to hear you love the tires, I just bought a set for my wife's truck, have not mounted them yet, we are still in snow season.

Sweet rig Hank, keep up the good work! The combination of a fresh coat of black paint, those 35" red-letter Grabbers and the 6" lift really look killer!
