'93 Blazer build thread

thanks man

 

[hd44blazer]

my used open carrier along with the Spartan locker came in today
got the locker installed in the carrier tonight and will hopefully have the whole piece in the axle tomorrow

 

[Deuling]

Any recent wheeling? Sweet locker

 

[hd44blazer]

Thanks, and sadly no, been trying to get my new wheels and tires squared away, waiting on some aluminum rock rings for the h2s, then just have to get them all mounted up, my goal is to hit the rubicon multiple times this summer though

So when are you going to get desperate and take a low ball offer on the old 16.5 steelies and Stauns?

 

[hd44blazer]

I've also got 4 pretty decent 39.5 TSLs that would look killer on your truck as well, I could make it a package deal of the century if you need tires too, otherwise I'd take $500 for the wheels & stauns, or $800 for the whole lot...I can get them as close as Livermore if it helps.

 

[Avery4jc]

I already have a set of 39.5" TSL's I scored from a guy when I started the build but I would be interested in the wheels/stauns. Let me think on it and get some stuff finished up and if you still have them we'll see what we can do.

 

[hd44blazer]

Right on, let me know

 

[hd44blazer]

bought myself an early X-mas gift
a set of the new Yukon 35 spline lockouts and these things are puuurty, now just need some 35 spline stubs

I'd say between you and Avery we should have a good feeling for how those Yukon 35s hold up

I have very little doubt that they won't be great and take some abuse. The quality of the machine work is a good indication. Mine slipped together like a glove with zero play on any part.

I will finally be getting my H2's and MT/R's mounted up this weekend, and I can't freakin' wait

I had the rings welded on at a local shop

 

[TREA18]

Looks nice. Are you going to paint the rings a certain color?

 

[hd44blazer]

I'm thinking not on these, I really like the raw aluminum look they have, just something different

got my wheels and tires all mounted up today and I love them already

and my Yukon stubs came in as well, just need u joints and wheel spacers and it can all go back together, I can't wait

I know there's a lot of side by side photos like this already, but it never gets old IMO

[Deuling]

Beefy! And those wheels look sweet. Get em on!

 

[hd44blazer]

tell me about it man, I'm dying over here to get back on some trails, very soon though

[hd44blazer]

finally getting mounted!!! the front is still on jack stands, that's why it might look a little taller than the rear, until my u joints come in tomorrow and I can put the axle back together

 

[nocturnalnasty]

Very, very nice. 35 spline shafts are the ticket.
