URBAN CAMO S10 CONVERTIBLE BLAZER
((( How to build a cheap convertible 4x4 summer toy for under $1000 )))
I live here in Rochester, NY we have some hard winters here and they use
lots of salt here on the roads. so to find cheap rusty trucks is no
problem.
I took a rusty 1989 GMC S10 blazer, put a 3.5 inch shackle lift in rear and a torsion tweak in the front to get the lift needed for the 31 inch 15x8 with 4 inch off-set tires. And trimmed out the front fenders. That's the look I wanted with the tires sticking out far I think it looks rugged and stable.
Made a custom diamond mesh grill and cut-bent & grinded into place. Took 8 foot diamond bed rails and cut them to fin the back to cover up the holes from the roof, I had just enough to also do the back. Also took a used jeep roll bar cut it up to fit the blazer and welded up stock to brace up the inside of the door posts.
The paint is called
(John Deere Blitz Black) yep from the lawnmower store, paint works great
if you like flat black trucks and cars.

I really enjoy seeing real 4WD
vehicles in real situations where they are needed. There
are so many highway bound posers that never go off the
pavement here that seeing life or death 4 wheeling in
Iceland is really refreshing.
