hey , if you can tell me if it will work for a 1999 Blazer , i may be able to work somethin out .

Blaze One

Just a little info for the Canadian people on this site , if you are interested in ordering spacers from completevalue off of ebay , i was just quoted *** $94 *** freakin dollars for shipping costs to Vancouver Canada . That shipping cost was for 2 1.25" spacers and 2 3" spacers . Now I am off to fi...

I get a "wet dog" smell too in my blazer , usually when i start it up when parked facing downhill . and after a rain fall aswell . the windsheild glass steams up for a minute then it goes away . Dunno what it is .

Blaze One

ok , so assuming that the front ends are the same as your Crew Cab's , than this bumper should fit my blazer or your Crew Cab's , correct ? I was just putting this link up because i don't see many aftermarket bumpers for S10's . And thought that this would be a nice choice , and maybe some one has s...

Blaze One

I am not sure about the 98's , but my 99 blazer has the same front end as your cc's , the new style .
I am going to contact warn and double check , it is not often i find a aftermarket bumper for the New style S10 series .
if anyone knows of any , let me know .

Blaze One

very cool , i am intersted in that rear bumper you have there , do you have anymore pics of the bumper and rack too ?

Blaze One

is there a battery in the remote ?
( just thought i'd ask )

Blaze One

no your not missing anything , i just figured that if they fit the blazer front end , then they must fit the CC and S10 front ends , I was assuming they are the same size .

Blaze One

I was lookin around the Warn site , and found this , anyone have any experience with these , or know some place with different pictures . http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-systems/enforcer.shtml Under the chevrolet link , it says they have them to fit our ( cc ,s10 ,blazer ) applications , assuming...

Blaze One

Has anyone tested the acuracy of these systems yet ?

Blaze One

ok never mind then , i just saw that a 99 izuzu trooper can have them , and that lots of parts are the same for our s10's as the troopers , so thought it may be possible . Thanks anyways/

Blaze One

I was reading about manual hubs , and there positives , Can we S10 with the Autotrac/electronic 4wd setups do it ?
Benifits being , Better Gas Miliage , less "wear and tear" and a positive lock .

Blaze One

ok thanks , I don't really need it for a reliable jump starting tool , but it is nice to have it incase . My truck has a automatic shut off feature( as do yours ) that doesn't allow the battery to die . And i always have a good battery in my truck and don't take chances on old batteries . I just wan...

Blaze One

I agree
( How many posts did you think it would take until someone did this ?

)

Blaze One

I found a AC Delco system for $59 at costco , it has a 500amp rating , is that good enough to start a truck atleast once ? it also states that it has a 18 amp hour rating and can continuolsy power accesories upto 80 hours ( depending on power consumption ) and will operate the built in light for 20 ...

Blaze One

Did anyone come across a unit that does have a Air Compressor and more than 1 , 12V outlet , or even AC outlets ? . I would like to have a unit that i could run 1or2 camp accesories on , either 12V or 120AC would not matter , since most camp lights or fans , heaters can be purchased either way . And...

Blaze One

Very nice color , are you keeping it as a family vehicle ? or do you have any plans for the suspension etc ?

Blaze One

hmmm... this is very interesting , i already have the compass/temp display in my console of my 99'blazer , so basically all i would need to do is find a console with the extra options ( fuel mpg etc. ) and swap the computers behind the lense and attach the 2 needed wires ( the purple wire and the or...

Blaze One

So is this a sign that my fuel pump is going to stop working ? or just a normal sound ?

Blaze One

I can hear a high pitch humming sound coming from under the driverside door area , while parked and idleing . Any thoughts ?

Also , when driving in "stop and go " traffic in the city , should i have it in "D" or "3" (transmission gear selection )

Blaze One

Does anyone have the part # for the HD Bilsteins ? and would it be the same for the blazers ?

Blaze One

I have not really looked into the Dual battery setup , but there is more to it than that . I am sure someone can give you great details on it .

The portable unit i am looking at will not be used as a regular means to inflate tires then . Thanks for the tip .

Blaze One

I will definitley look around , there are a few out a the local auto store too , it would be great to have one with a compressor though , i don't plan on instaling a Air Compressor to activate lockers , so this would help out when i need to air down for those rough trails , but stuff like the radio ...

Blaze One

BADsCrew : I looked into those power packs , that is a great and BETTER idea than a aux battery . Chaper too . Now i just need to find a canadian supplier and i am set . thanks

Blaze One

I am interested to see how you mount and where you run the wires for the 6" round lights on top . Are you going to have to drill holes in your roof for the wires ? or run them down the back in between the cab and box ?

Blaze One

thanks guys i will check out zr2.com and see about mounting underneath .

Blaze One

this battery that i WAS going to install , was going to be used to run aux 12V accessories , such as a power inverter , camp lights , fan while sleeping in back etc , all of which must be operational for upto 4 hours while truck is off , not all at once though .

Blaze One

thanks , i check around and see what i can find , as far as space under neath the truck goes .

Blaze One

I trying to think of where i could mount another battery , other than the bed of the truck ( i have a blazer ) . Can it be done ?

Blaze One

I get noises too from my blazer , mechanic says it may be the BJ's .

When it is cold ,and i drive over speed bumps , I hear this creaky, groaning , sound from the front end .

Blaze One

if it runs , passes emisions testing(if you have it ) and can be insured , than take it . you can always sell it for a few hundred anyway . just so long as it is drivable .

Blaze One

maybe try different gas ?

Blaze One

http://auto.consumerguide.com/Auto/Used ... viewspecs/

I used that link as my ref. not sure if it is 100% acurate though .

Blaze One

that 2nd picture you posted , Ihave the exact same thing on my hood of my blazer .
But your milleage seems to be about the norm . maybe a little worse , but no more than 1-2mpg at most .
The 4.3L engines are not known to be the best on gas . Especially if you are comparing them to a Import V6 .

Blaze One

oops your right , i have a 19gal tank . Crap , that makes my mpg even worse .

Blaze One

I have a 1999 4dr 4x4 Blazer , with 3.73 gearing , and no fuel filter change since new , or tune up and it has 80,000 miles on it ( 15500kms) , I get around 310kms to a tank , ( until low fuel light comes on , and even then i have about 20Litres left in the tank .) So in other words .... I get about...

Blaze One

does anyone know what spacers would be needed to equal the spacing used on Wamasons setup ( 15x8 rims with 4" bs ) ? when using a stock zr2 size rim ?

That is simple addition. Stock =6" Walt has 4" the difference is 2"-HJ

Blaze One

Wamason , which wheel spacers are you using for front and rear ?
Also , where abouts did they rub ? Fender ? sway bar etc ?

Blaze One

This is a great mod if it works out , I spent $1400 on repairs to my 4wd because it got stuck in 4 lo once , and it wouldn't engage either . If i had known about this , I could have saved my self lotsa $$$ . And ended up with a more reliable transfercase in the end , since my 4wd is acting up and no...

Blaze One

Correct me if i am wrong , but don't you already have the stock zr2 style rims on there ?

Blaze One

I maybe completly wrong about this , but could you use a Posi Lok thingy ?
http://www.4x4posi-lok.ca/

Dunno if that is at all related to your idea . But thought i would throw it out there anyway .

Blaze One

I love everything but the front end , looks to bulky to me . I actually have high hopes , There is a chance this concept will be made into production . You can tell if there are even remotley serious because other than the Rims(21-22") everything else is easy enough to turn into a production car . u...

Blaze One

it really costs 3-5000 usd for a sas ? wow , didn't think it was that much .
I would recomend the Mystery lift . Or just go with a SFA conversion . There have been complaints about IFS lifts , but then again . There are complaints about all lifts in some form or another .

Blaze One

it would be nice if they would reply to my emails , but no luck on that so far . I am trying to see how much there systems/upgrades cost , compared to a SAS . In a year i may just go all out and spend the little extra $ and do a mild SAS ( Dana44's and 33" tires , no regear or lockers ) . but i can'...

Blaze One

i thought of doing that , but then i saw what you have to do to install one of those bumpers , not gonna be able to do that in a parking lot , atleast not me . I keep looking on my local forums , thanks though

Blaze One

i have a question , What are " rear sway helpers " and are they the same as when you mention " helper springs" ?

Blaze One

That's great to hear ..... kinda . I have so many things to attend to on my Blazer , and now with every new mod , i add another . So far ... Tune up , shocks , helper spring , moog bjoints , and new bushings now . The lists is getting longer before i can make it shorter . But it is nice to hear posi...

Blaze One

I agree , i wouldn't want those specific tires , just something in that size would be good , I thought since they made that style , then maybe they would make other tread patterns too . i don't think so though , I have not had time to check .

Blaze One

Looks great , need a little tire cleaner on the lettering , and some tire gloss to make the rubber darker .
Looks great though .

Blaze One

who are those tires made by ?

Blaze One

I saw that thread too , but seriously , I just cant see myself spending $699 USD , which is $819 candian dollars , PLUS shipping and Border Fees , I am lookin at about $1000 . I could buy some steel , rent a welder ,and get my dad to fab. one up for me . just need to find some blueprints/or measure ...

Blaze One

or if a company made more tire choices in the 33x9.5" size that would be great too .

Blaze One

hmmm... I thought you could run a 10.5" wide tire on the stock rims with out having to air them down ?, so you wont get uneven wear . All of these concerns are making me wonder why I am even trying to fit a 10.5" tire , I should just listen to HJ and go with what is known to work , the 9.5 " tire . ...

Blaze One

It would be great if a member of this forum was a employee of a tire shop or new a person that could test fit some used tires in various sizes . Between all the truck forums on the net , he could sell his "findings " !! , would save people money when they go and buy tires , hoping that they wont rub...

Blaze One

Thank you asking the exact same question i was going to ask , I am currently starting the process of gather all the items needed for this lift . Next big purchase is the tires also most important ..... I will just sit over here and wait patiently

Blaze One

397's

Blaze One

it's been a couple of months since you installed those shocks , any updates ? or just as good as they were before ? thanks .

Blaze One

I bet if you look at all then mods that you could do to any truck or car , you would find a down side to most of them , this doesn't include replacement of oem products though ( shocks etc ) . but items that modify the truck . you always take a chance when modifiying , or replacing with anything oth...

Blaze One

so hows the lift and Moog balljoints workin out for ya ?

Blaze One

That looks good , except for the bar on the front

Blaze One

exactly right , GM does tease , they have all the components to make a bunch of nice/fast reliable RWD mid price sports cars and If they would rethink there 4wd and suspension AND engine choices for there SUV and SMALL PICKUP line , they could easily compete with TOYOTA TACOMA's , and still sell the...

Blaze One

78.5 lbs each , holy crap

Blaze One

for that price , I will probably go with a type of pre-runner bar . and use the money i saved for some lights or somethin .

Blaze One

those look like great products , and if only my dad didn't retire - he could have made me a set for FREE ! .
can't wait to see pics

Blaze One

maybe they can stuff a better engine in the colorado/canyon , GM has the engines , but just doesn't want to put them in the right platforms . If gm made the colorado with a better engine , and a new 4wd system I would have one in my driveway today . But on the flip side , the selling price for the c...

Blaze One

ha ha ha very true ^^^ I see myself looking to buy a Japanese Truck because of the lack of product coming from GM

Blaze One

I wish they would offer something to replace the ZR2 ! , the colorado/canyon were a disaster , and they did away with the Blazer - and put the Trail Blazer in its place ( which i believe has a IRS/IFS ) , but the Tahoe looks good , needs a chrome grill though , and the 395hp/400lbfit Trail Blazer is...

Blaze One

so the people that want to use a 33x10.5 tire should use a 2" spacer in the rear ? and 1.25" in the front , with stock wheels that is .

Blaze One

oooo.... nice , betcha it will cost me double to get it up here in canada . Thank you for the info .

Blaze One

I really like this bumper , does anyone make a similar product for a S10 ? if i am goin with a BL I would like to have this to put on after .
http://www.whitescarver.com/erinjeff/Xt ... 4_6461.JPG

Blaze One

So , I have been contemplating buying a new/used suv or small pick up for some time , the only thing holding me back is that i almost have this one paid off in a year . Point coming up > :P But .... I look around at other "manufacturer" websites/ Owner Forums , and I see way more offroading adventur...

Blaze One

^^^^^^ Good points , GM certainly has some explaining to do . Oh wait , they won't Executives will just hide away and collect the $$$ and wait until something comes by instead of moving ahead themselves to make a Decent Automobile .

Blaze One

That's one reason i hate living here ( Vancouver Canada ) we don't get much snow , if fact , this year is the earliest we have had a snow fall in November (in the last 10yrs ), and it was only 1" of snow ! . Usually we have 1, maybe 2 "major" snow falls each winter , and it only ends up being like 4...

Blaze One

looks good , but they look wider that others I have seen . Are they different ?
I thought that the flares where about the same width as a ZR2 flare . Doesn't matter though they look good .

Blaze One

go to the distributation section and you can find out who else sells there products , but it looks like they love toyota's and Fords the most .
