My '90 that I bought in '94 with about 49k on the ticker. It was completely stock except for a set of 32" mud tires...don't have any digital pics of it completely stock.

Crappy scanned pic from the Lima 4 Wheel Jamboree about '98 or '99. 4" lift, 33" tires, and 10-bolts with 4.10 gears and limited slips front and rear.
http://coloradok5.com/photos/data/805/blazer.jpg

Next step was a welded 14-bolt rear, converted the front 10-bolt to 8-lug (had the limited slip) and 35" MT/R's (no pictures on this PC).

Next big step was a D60 front with a Lock-right and 13/38-16 Swampers. Body was still reasonably straight, but this setup got me into lots of trouble.

http://coloradok5.com/photos/data/831/Blazer_creek.jpg

Current setup. 39.5" Swampers, full cage, 3x3 rockers, custom front and rear bumpers, winch, hydro-assist, added a 3rd seat for my son in the back (the kid in the front is a buddy's son).

After. It's not "done" yet but it's came a long way so far. I hope to give it a good test run at Zuk spook.

That's what I was thinking... he ought to tweak it a little to look even more like one.

it's taller than it is wide, i can't imagine how unstable it would feel off camber.

I guess I will find out this weekend! LOL
After the first pic's I did take the yota springs off the back and put on a set of YJ's. I also added 2" wheel spacers. It's not really that tall it just doesn't have fenders and I'm running 29" tractors.

I built this samurai/buggy a few years ago and traded it away for some reason.... But I was lucky enough to get it back and when i did it had been beat to death. This is the only picture I have of when i got it back and its fuzzy but you can get the point.

And this is how it sits now. It should be wheelable in a few days with only a couple loose ends to finish up.

Here is a little proof that I have been making some progress with my old Flatfender. Note the extreme articulation I have achieved. Ha, ha. Did I mention 55 horsepower? Still, it is a lot of fun.

Boy do I miss it.


http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/red90yj/Sticks.jpg

But I did do 34 miles with my boys in 5 days this past Thanksgiving at Gatlinberg. Cucumber Gap (all 3 trails), West Prong, Rainbow Falls, Ramsay Cascades, Chimney Rock, 3 times I just wouldn't let them get to the very top. My heart would just sink if something happened.

This one was nerve racking enough.
