New Member From Michigan
Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2008 3:18 pm
Hey Guys I just wanted to stop and say hello. I just joined a few days ago, but have been too busy to post until now.
My name is Kevin, I'm from Holland Michigan, go to school at Michigan State University and I drive a 2001 Blazer ZR2. I am not new to forums - I have been a regular poster on ZR2USA for about 2 years now, and I was just made an Admin too! Anyways I joined because HenryJ is always posting links to good write-ups and what not over on ZR2USA, and I found out that you all have a lot of good info here too.
Enough about me, here is my Blazer
It was 100% bone stock when I got it back in October 2006 with 62,xxx on the odometer. That did not last long at all.
This is what I have done to it, in no particular order. I hope I don't forget much. http://www.zr2usa.com/mboard/index.php?showtopic=28556

I have also done some other little things, such as repaint the tire carrier, the hitch (yearly) and probably a few other things that I can't remember.
I'm still not close to done with it, but then again who is ever done with their vehicle?
I actually had my Recon Line of Fire come in yesterday, just have not had time to install it.
Some of the things I want to do still include:
Tint
Knaffle Sliders,
Get a CB in there
ZR5 Rims
Goodmark Cowl Hood
Audio Upgrade - New Component speakers all around, new larger subs, lots of dynamat, etc.
EFI Live
Synergy Offroad Hidden Winch Mount
Some sort of pre-runner. I'll have to go visit Knaffle for that one
I'll be honest - I do baby my truck a bit. Well, I guess a lot. I slacked off a lot this summer though. It used to get washed 2-3 times a week, waxed once a month, interor fully steamcleaned monthly, etc. But this summer I was a lot busier, girlfriend took up time, etc. Oh well.
But don't worry - I'm not afraid to get it dirty

For the most part I will probably be more of a lurker, but I'll post now and then.
Hope You like the Blazer.
P.S. Any of you from Michigan or the Midwest area??
