May30th!pg.2Truggy buildup continues... PICS! more PICS

[juanblzer]

This is an 85 chevy blazer Silverado (or at least the frame is)
I went full circle
1995 full body
2000 full body with full cage / beard seats / half doors and top off
2002 chop top / doors off / tapered front / 4 link coilovers front and rear
2003
narrow rear / remove all body panels

and now
2007... full body is back in the plan.

This rig has been driven to Baja California and Montana without doors, rear floor, top and most of the body.




back in college...

after college

de-sheetmetaling 2005

moved to Costa Rica for the summer... decided on parting out the rig... ended up with a chassis and no body...
new buildup begins

1 idea

with 1985 GMC JIMMY tub

the sawzall aftermath...

bigger tires / chopped top / chopped bed / chopped floor / chop suey

more tube / more chopping / new rear crossmember / new ideas

Plans:

• Rack is for extended baja / backcountry excursions (the added weight helps the suspension really ride well)
• 3rd seat for my 4 year old
• rocksliders
• rear mount for fullsize spare (think prerunner)
• fully removable fiberglass with stubs (think prerunner race glass structure)Trailer Products fiberglass 1988 update glass
