Went to a Bigger Blazer
 
1 Attachment(s)
So my biggest blazer to date landed at the shop the other night.

Did some trading/swaping with another board member grendel. (thanks John)
He built this monster, one ton running gear, cross over steering, 4whl disc brakes, twin t-cases, built turbo 400...the list goes on and on. :c2:
Currently sitting on 38's w/5:13 final gear ratio.

Guess it's time to run some trails with it. :D

Here's one pic, just goofing on a small dirt hill.

that sounds like one hell of a truck

Medicanman71 08-17-2005 06:11 PM

sweeeeet

FormerMember 08-17-2005 08:40 PM

Did you install that shifter?

BTW, final gear ratio in low/low/low is:

2.48 (transmission)x2 (torque converter)x2 (t-case one)x 2 (t-case two)x 5.13 (axle R+P)= 101.7792

Considered to be about perfect for crawl ratio with an automatic.

Of course, you can switch off anyone one of those, but the 5.13.

sweet ride... :metal:

FormerMember 08-17-2005 10:53 PM

Nice truck! Might be a greenhorn question, but how does a guy tie in the second transfer case? Congrats- :bowtie:

:haha: total poser pic :haha:
Kids liked it though.
Gave each one a ride in it which of course included climbing the poser bump. ;)

Have a couple odds and ends to clean up before I can wheel it but then I'll take it out and get happy.

P/O (grendel) kept the gauge cluster of after market goodies
(it was cool/worth keeping) so I need to send him back the wires/fittings to go with those and install another harness/guage set.

Two transfer case's ---help me with what, how and why that works??

steve_kibbe 08-18-2005 10:09 AM

the doubler, or two transfer cases uses the range box from a np 203 with the chain portion removed, and a custom made plate bolted to the back, then a np 205 is coupled to the back of the plate. A np 203 has a 2.01:1 low range, and the np 205 has a 1.96:1. When both the the range box from the np 203, and the np 205 are in low range, you have essentially a 4:1 low range. This is better for rock crawling and so on.

steve_kibbe 08-18-2005 10:11 AM

this is what it looks like

Been messing with the little/detail stuff some.
Changed out the grille while I was at it.

To be able to go play, I still need to install the B&M shifter and do some final welding.
Need to install a wiring harnes also.
Course having it licensed would be a good idea too... :rolleyes:

French, the doubler's pretty cool...talk about having a low gear!
