check out my other rides too. they get lonely without you!
playin on a stump. i broke the pathfinder launching off of some stumps i was crawling over. not this one, but some bigger ones i have laying around in my yard. i landed HARD on the driver's side front tire and ripped the upper a-arm bolts out of the frame. oops. go to my GMC page to see the stumps i was on.
31" mickey thompson baja claws on 15x10 mickey thompson classic beadlocks, dual flowtech warlock mufflers dumped before the rear, custom intake with k&n filter. the warlocks have a super deep sound! way better sounding than flowmaster. everyone thinks it has a v-8 it's so deep! it also has a flex-a-lite electric fan. you wouldn't believe how much power that thing freed up! it's like a new engine! it revs so much faster, and gets much better gas mileage. if i could keep my foot out of it, it would.

with his big brother. i haven't decided if i'm going to use the pathfinder or the '94 ranger body on the GMC frame. help me decide!
these are the fenders from 4x4parts.com i want to eventually get
11/16/07 well,I guess this body is going on the blazer frame and suspension. I just need to get the blazer body off first. I was hoping to be farther along in this project before winter, but oh well, stuff happens. or doesn't in my case. the guy i had take the body off took 6 months to bring the body back. now it looks like i got it from a salvage! what you see in the pics is what he brought back before he disapeared. nice of him. the interior, or what's left of it, is piled up inside. there are wires ripped out and just hanging. the brand new windshield has a crack from top to bottom. the roof is kinda caved in now, it looks like someone was jumping or standing on it. parts are missing.the body is beat and dented and scratched. he just bought a pathy that needed alot of parts. hhhmmmmm, where did my parts go? probably wherever he disapeared to with his pathfinder. i need to start running background checks on my so-called friends!! as you could tell from the before pics i took really good care of it, now it looks like this! oh well. i'm a firm believer in karma, so he'll get his. he has to answer to the good Lord, not me! he also left the driver's side window down for six months. they are electric, so i had to figure out which cut wires went to the window to get it up. then i hooked those wires up to my jumper cables from my car since he took my new battery too.
soon to be filled with a small block. not soon enough for me though.
soon they shall be one! I hope, if all goes well.

1-15-08 this is all that's left of the jimmy. now i've got to get it sand blasted and rhino-lined before it goes under the nissan. it's also going to get new stainless brake and fuel lines and also probably a fuel cell.
this thing is filthy! i didn't know it was leaking oil that bad until we got the body off. i took my shotgun scoop off so no one walks off with it when i'm not here.
i don't even know where to start. i guess pull the drivetrain out. the axle seals leak so they're getting rebuilt also.
i took the valve covers off and put the stock ones back on so the engine can be sandblasted too. got them from speedway motors for about $300 cheaper than at summit or jegs. they were only $104. you have to see them in person to appreciate the perfect hand welded aluminum and the brushed finish. they are super light-weight too.
bottom of the valve cover. nice and cleaned up and shiny.
