Rehab 2wd blazer

Ok boys and girls, its been over a year now for me even pulling the cover off my blazer. So its time to pull it out and make some up dates i have been wanting to do for a long time. So the blazer is going into rehab.

First thing i wanted to do was make some inners for the front, but i end up finding some slush tubes that look killer, so i ended up getting a set. One more thing i wanted to do was move the battery to the back under side of the blazer.

So cutting the stock hangers off and changing my bag mounts and shock mounts to make everthing fit and look better. Also making some C-Notches to get the back down a little lower. Hope to start working on it this week end. Below pics of the new tubs.

Re: Rehab 2wd blazer

Well did a little work on the blazer today, cut the old hangers off and started on moving the battery to the back. I think it will work just fine on the frame. Here some pics. Hope to have more tomorrow.
