Heres how mine sits now...... 7" lift along with 35" trail grapplers. Line x bed liner with Painted front bowtie. All badges included rear bowtie removed. 5" oval nerf bars and 2 10" subs inside. Thinking about the programmer but ill have to do a little more research because im not real sure what the benefits of it are. Sorry about the poor quaility of the picture.

 

 

 

More/better pics, looks good from what I can see. What brand lift?

Nice. I'm debating also on removing the 3rd cat as well. If it's even a cat? No sensors are on it so it may be some sort of resonator.. I have a Corsa sport cat back waiting for me at my local dyno shop. My appointment is on the 13th so we'll see what actual gains I'll get with it. They also guarantee no drone with the straight thru design of the muffler. We'll see.... I'm sure with the Airaid intake I have and the exhaust there will be noticeable power gains. I'm still debating on a custom tune.. I have the opportunity to have one installed and dyno tuned but I'm a lil worried about the warranty going out the window. Thanks for the response are you gonna add some polished tips? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No tips. I had them put on my '07 as an after thought and wasn't really that high on them. After a wash I get my Purple Slice out, slide under the truck and do the part of the tailpipes that can been seen so they alway look brand new anyway. These pics are of the '07 after 6½ years.

I didn't want to start a new thread just to ask this and it might be a dumb question. Does anyone know, on the chevys, if the horizontal style grille is only available with the Z71 emblem on it? I do not have a Z71 but would like to replace the honeycomb style one...also don't really want a billet haha

Only comes with the embossed location for the emblem but not emblem installed. Also quite expensive. And no bowtie either. Picked one up complete with z71 emblem and bowtie for $225 off Ebay. My dealer employee cost is about $400.00 w/o emblems.

Definitely need more pics! Absolutely love your truck! Is that the stock LT 20s? And if so how wide are your tires?

I have had my truck almost two weeks now and I had my dealer send the truck out to have an Ameraguard bed liner sprayed in it prior to me picking it up. It looks great and seems identical to Line-x liners I've had in the past.

 

Last weekend I had a 1" leveling spacer installed and my P275/60r20 Toyo AT2s went on yesterday. I only drove about 8 miles with them but they look awesome, are quieter than the Wrangler SRAs and don't rub at all. Attached is a pic I took when I got home. I also plugged the Range Technology AFM disabling device in yesterday and it is working great. I wish there was a way to lock out 6th gear at speeds below 55 but I guess I can run in M5.

 

So far I'm really enjoying this truck but wish the radio reception was better. That's my only real gripe so I consider myself lucky after reading some of these posts.

I'll get some new pictures to put up soon! Stock 20's with 12.5 inch tires! Looks good. Wish I had a little offset with the wheels. The lift is the 7" rough county.

Im surprised a 12.5" wide tire would fit on a stock wheel.

What kit is this. I am looking for about 1" lift but do NOT want it level. Would like to raise the front, keep a little rake without raising the rear. What is the brand and do you have any side pics showing the lift?

The toyo AT2's are awesome. They are going onto my truck as soon as it gets here. What type of level did you do?

Buddy of mine picked up a high country grille for around $365, sold his factory grille for $300.

    • 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.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on. 
    • The average lifespan of automobiles on the road is increasing - here's why
    • Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
    • Still $3.01 with even more places at this price
