Thanks,
As far as the lift goes, I just took in my original springs and had them worked over. I told him I wanted a 2"-2.5" lift. I put 2" blocks in the rear.

The tires are 33" x 12.5" x 15".

I love Parker. Have you ever visited the desert bar out in the desert? It's a cool place.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

Have been going there starting in the 60's with my parents. Have not been to the desert bar because it closes for the summer, to hot.

Installed an old school steering wheel cover. It’s tough to find these for a 17” wheel.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

Reverse camera installation completed this week. Image pops up automatically when the transmission is put in reverse using an old JVC KD-AVX77 1 din touch screen head unit for the display.

This is a project I started several years ago and am happy it's complete. The dash was already cut when I bought it so I didn't feel bad swapping the 90s CD player out for something that had clean lines. Its an older DVD unit from 2009-2011 but it seems to fit with the dash theme, almost looking like a black blank plate when it's off. Plus it can support HD radio, Bluetooth, and can act as a navigation and dvd monitor.
