But...I also see a 4x4 emblem on your fender.  Nice looking truck.

 

Yes you do!!!  That was a must!!  I had a 2WD truck for a while and I needed 4WD more than I could count.  Got my 2WD stuck so many times.  Better tires/level/lift and bumper winch are in the furture to keep me from ever needing to be pulled out again!

And best of all, it's a manual transfer case!  I hate push button 4WD.

4WD was also a must I got mine.  128 miles when I got mine, but now a lil over 4,600.

Love the stance, and it looks very clean. Way to do it right!

Man I appreciate it. Been working on it almost 4 years now. It’s been trial and error for sure.

So you are clearing 35x12.50-22 on a 4.5 inch suspension lift. How much did you have to cut to clear those 35 inch tires?

Here is the front... had the bumpers, grille, and GMC logo done.  On the grille, only the surround was supposed to be done, but they accidentally did the entire thing.  I actually like it better.

I've had it back since Friday and haven't cut a single piece, nor tied any liners yet.  No rubbing at all.  Haven't tried full lock in reverse, but have been off road (went camping - so call it what you will, lol) and no problems.

 

I was fairly confident (with the countless research hours) this set up would work.  So far so good.

Great to know you had success without the need to cut things up. 

 

I have a RC 5 inch suspension lift + a 1.5 inch Zones Body lift with 20x1x0 -18 Fuel D 611 and I'm told there will need to have some cutting done. I am currently running 33x12.50x20 TOYO AT's

the offset is what's the issue (as far as cutting - because those wheels look awesome).

 

My '14, I had a 6 inch RC with 22's -44 running 35's.  Had to cut a pretty good chunk where the mud flap would go, angle out the front valance, and zip tie the wheel well liners

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
