Teck's o' noma (pic heavy)

[Teck]

Hello everyone, lurked for a little while, figured I might as well put something up.

I will start with a little back story.
bought it in April 2k10
Unbearably stock

Manual trans, manual Tcase. IMO best combination


I cannot leave well enough alone, just like to make my vehicles mine.
Started with a 2" body lift, and some 31 inch Goodyear duratracs( first tires I have ever bought new). and removed the lower plastic valance

My favorate time of the year


Since I had planned on adding AUX lighting, i had a friend send me some extra switches for my light switch pannel. Used GM factory switches to try and keep it as factory looking as I could.
Before

After


Converted my Dash and 4WD indicator lights to LED's



Started a custom bumper for the front, still in very slow progress



More snow( same winter as the previous pics, it was a disappointing winter for my first year in Colorado.


For my birthday gift to myself, new wheels and the Blazer tire carrier is slightly visible.


Made a setup to haul the bikes, but have since tossed it aside.


Had to wire my garage for my welder ( took a year to catch up to me)

July 4th weekend, went up to Leadville to do some camping. Was my fiance's first time in a tent, though I underestimated the cold at 10k feet. Over all it was still a good trip.
only pic from that, and a RTT is on the list.


couple weeks after picked up a topper. for the price i couldn't pass it up. Came just like it is, lights and rack.



Then spent all day Saturday 7/21 rewiring the lights.



And where it sits today.



I would love to have a removable water storage/ kitchen area, eventually.

never seen a factory blazer tire carrier on a pickup. That should have been a factory option.

did you do backing plates for your tre carrier, that was always the week part of those.

I have not yet, time and daylight hours are not on my side at the moment.

As of now, it is covered with bedliner on the front. the backside only has primer, as i still have some welding to do.
