Not much for me.


Had to switch out a door. Broken glass and regulator. Easier to put on another door.

Nice now just need to slap on some paint! As for me i got the passenger seat out and workin on the drivers side now...wondering how to take out the middle console thoughb:rolleyes:
 
Im sort of a noob at axle swaps, what whats the difference between a dana 60 and just a stock one? Heavier duty?

Pretty much heavier duty in every way. Bigger ring gear, bigger axle shafts, thicker axle tubes, bigger spindles and bearings, it's all there. About the only weak point is the smaller yoke and 30 spline outer shafts. Both are easily upgraded though for all around beefiness!

What part if Arlington you in? I live in McKinney right at 121 and 75.
 
I live on the UTA campus! Im a sophomore here. I have the blazer at my "fathernlaws" right now in irving...stripping the interior at night :laugh:
 
Im new to the ck5 forum so you are the first person ive seen thats close to me! Did your blazer come like that or have you built it? The lift and tire combo looks sweet

I built it. Check out my build thread by my signature there is a few pictures of how it looked when I got it. And welcome to ck5, you'd be suprised as to how many people here are from this area!
 
Thats a sweet rig that you built! I was a jeep guy for a while but my father n law had this in his garage and i picked it up for $850 with a new motor...Installing it right now and hopefully I can get a build thread goin! :woot: We should start a group and all go wheelin together, That would be cool
 
Ok you have like 8 threads on here . Why have i not seen a single pic of your blazer dude! We will get bored and die without our daily pic fix lol
 
Dont worry guys!!!! I will post a lot of pics of the blazer on this thread tonight! Just finished the roll in bedliner so the interior is looking pretty good. Got the tires on and the motor in!! I would have posted pics but i didnt have my camera with me yesterday. :dunno:
 
Heres what I did this weekend. I grade myself at around a 7 out of 10 which isnt bad for a new painter!
