this is my 98 blazer with a jimmy front end conversion. i traded my 03 ranger http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2447577 for this in april because the last guy who worked on it messed it up pretty good and I didnt want to deal with all the problems that he created

its painted black and was white from the factory. pinstripping is on the hood, the tailgate and also inside. it lays frame completly on 20's and the bottom of the frame was raised and leveled out to allow it to lay lower in the rear.

pretty much everything is shaved including the doors, mirrors, rear wiper, roof rack, antenna, hood pissers, and molding. the passenger door on the drivers side needs to be shaved as well as the gas filler door. it still needs some more body work but its in pretty good shape. I plan to add custom motorcycle mirrors to have some sort of side mirrors on it.

the floor was completly rebuilt from the wheel tubs back. the stock gas tank was taken out and replaced with a rci 12 gallon fuel cell and is located in the back under the floor. pinstripping of a tiki man with the word freaks in his teeth is on the front of the floor

2 5 gallon air tanks in the back. it has 2 viair 450 compressors but im about to replace those with 2 viair 480C compressors. im going to go through all the suspension components and replace everything to what I would like. it has 6 1/2" valves now but I plan to replace those with 8 3/8" valves and I will install a 9 switch avs switchbox along with a dakota digital air pressure gauge for the bags and tanks.

the motor is the stock V6 except for a air intake and exhaust

updates on the dash

 

i decided to shave the spot where the headlight switch was. i should have used this technique before but i just thought of it. i cut out a piece of cardboard and hot glued it in place then layed the fiberglass over that. it worked perfectly and was a whole lot easier

i also smoothed out the lip thats around the gauge cluster to give it a cleaner look

 

i relocated the headlight switch to underneath the dash and extended all the wires for it by soldering and heat shrinking each one

 

this is where the ash tray used to be and i used a cereal box (captain crunch crunch berries lol) to make the shape and used hot glue to hold it together then i fiberglassed around that and it will hold the 3 air pressure gauges i have
