Air ride and a shed of parts for the Blazer!

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Are you repainting it black?

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Yes, I am just getting the roll pan, front bumper and firewall painted. And maybe some touch ups...

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Whoa, nice rig! It looks clean, can't wait to see the finished product.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Thanks, I will keep you posted...

Re: New Blazer pic's..

Sweet Blazer. How'd you smooth the cap like that? did you peel off the stock skin/handle and replace it with aluminum or stainless?

My luck I'd forget it at the gas station again. I've lost two of them there in the last year.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

I went and got a new cap from the Auto place then put some spot welds on the back side then took the plastic handle off and welded it up on the front side, then took the grinder to it. It will be painted black like the blazer. That was a pic that I took right after I made it.

Thanks for the input.. I see you on here helping out everyone, you beat me to allot of the tech threads good job on that.

later,
Trav

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Thanks! I try to help!

Here's the other option I was thinking of for my cap to prevent my stupidity in leaving caps at gas stations.

It might take a little trimming on the tube, but it would be nice and smooth.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

That looks cool...

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

I put the air bags on thr front last night.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Sweet! I just realized you were repainting it.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

tvblazer what do you do for a living, and can I get an application! Looking at that blazer made me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside!!!

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

that is one nice Blazer - keep up the great work :D

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Thanks man, I am a project manager for a Labeling company based in Knoxville TN. I have been working on and off for 15 years on this blazer. So I have a lot of time and $ in it. I think my wife is about to kill me over it but she knows were I am, I'm not out drinking and running around with woman... So she better be Happy :lol:

Thanks,
Trav

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Got the new roll pan on tonight, I had to make some cuts to the frame to make it fit. I will send it off to the paint shop this weekend.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

The progress pics are awesome. Keep us posted...:metal:

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

I Spot welded the air bag brackets on the back today and found a new place for the air pump. I hope to have everything welded up on Monday. With the air out on the bags it will sit on the frame and tuck about 4" of tire.:metal:

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Sweet Blazer!!!! Lots of work. I spent 3 years on mine, drove it 2 and sold it. Miss it sometimes. Oct 2004 TOTM.

Keep up the good work.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Looking good man!!!!:metal: I am going to move my air comp. outside as well. There sure is ALOT of trial and error in building these air ride systems.:b69:

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Thanks man, sorry you sold it. I have seen your blazer looks good.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Ya, more I looked at the air pump, I said I better do now or I would not do it at all. Thanks for your help.

Did you get your blazer painted?

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Not Yet, I have been busy with Work and Coaching my seven year olds baseball team. I hope to get back on it soon. It should'nt take long once I get started. It's just getting the time. I'm sure you know how that is!!!

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Are you still running the leaf spring set up with just a single spring to line up the axle? I was thinking of doing this with my 47 1/2 ton and I'm curious to see how it works for you. Any plans of a track bar?
By the way, I love your Blazer!

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Here is some pic's with it all the way up and all the way down.

(Onedayjake) I am running the leaf spring set up, but I did not take any out. I have to much motor just to run one leaf. It should work out good I will keep you updated. Here is a pic of the setup. Thanks.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

I see now that you have the axle flipped to the top. I love the stance and can't wait to see it finished!

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Awesome, Blazer looks sick when its layed out. I agree I am usually into the lifted trucks but that is such a nice dropped Blazer! Great job.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Thanks man!!!

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

Got some parts back from the paint shop today. The Gas Cap came out nice! I should have the Blazer in the paint shop next week. I hope:confused:

Re: New Blazer pic's..
 

looks awesome... im sure this question has been beat to death with you, but its the first time i have seen your ride.....

I put the roll pan on today and started on the dash, I need to do some sanding on the dash and then primer it. I should have all of the dash put back in this week. Fun Fun. I am trying to get this thing done for the GMC & Chevy truck Nats the first weekend of May. I will be cutting it close.

Re: New Blazer pic's..
