The DSPRO budget Blazer build

[skunked]

I'd run H2's for the same reasons beags86 mentioned.

h2's. They are a more real world wheel for you.

I'd get some H2 wheels

Find aluminum wheels that you like. If you need bead locks for low air use than inner locks can be added later. But knowing you ryan, you'll do just fine without locks. You're skill level will get you by with nothing more than a spare tire/wheel. Don't mess with any spacers and you already answered yourself about drw hubs.

Thanks Gents, I'm hunting H2's now.

I'll have my H1's up for sale a bit later..

I've always meant to comment that I love your avatar. Yours? Perfect combination of badass and cute.

 

[rbgerrish]

Sweet! Good deal!

I took the H2 Rims down to the farm where the Blazers are staying and mounted them to the Dana 60 and 14 bolt. The tire is probably 1" inside the fender now, and they fit great. Maybe a small spacer one day, but that stance should be fine.

I tried to start the Diesel truck, but it appears that the starter died. The solenoid works, it clicks, and the teeth move and engage the flywheel, but nothing spins. The motor turns over, I can do it by hand...

I'll hunt for a 6.5 Gear Reduction starter and the proper support bracket..
