hello jaymcb originally the economy went up about 15% because i was driving like i had an egg under my boot. now it is a 'static' 18-22 depending on how i run it. longer drives = better mpg. without the turbo it would achieve about the same. runs better with a 10:1 ratio (or higher) of wmo

FMJoe I sand blasted the dickens out of the whole mess and tacked it together. With the help of a friend i used the 'tabs' inside the rail that the weather stripping will attach and used a screw drive to apply force in the proper direction. took some time and different angles to bring it in...

Hello edpdx tire carrier looks nice. can you give an update on how it held up this hunting season? how many times did you take it off road and how many miles. i am looking to do something similar to have 2 spares for being in the woods. one on the rear and one on a safari rack. with 5...

Hello dependable The turbo really woke up the blazer and the drive ability is night and day. Acceleration is improved at least 50% and the only thing i am disappointed about is the fact that I run out of road before the turbo runs out of power. Only in N GA on longer hills have i been able to...

Was the DD for the winter spring and summer and then decided to fix the rot. Stripped everything out and sand blasted the tub. Fixed with POR 15 and the line-x d the whole shootin’ match. Welded the holes closed, primed and painted this critter out in the yard with marine corp green...

Once the mechanical was up to snuff I wanted more power. Not smart enough to do a 6bt or 4bt swap but too dumb to NOT bolt on a banks turbo. I purchased a partial Banks kit off e-bay and realized that I am was not capable to complete the missing parts and install. I then purchased (great...

I subsequently purchased another M1009 for the sum of $740 with the intent to have a hanger queen for parts and the fact it had brand new rubber good year 31 10.50’s. 8 is better than 4! Treated the blazer as my DD for 9 months and proceeded to work our all the kinks to where I would trust...

Well here we are gentlemen. I believe that I am finally vindicated and am no longer a parasite who only takes from the host and has nothing to add. This is only true if through all this I have nothing to add . . . the verdict will be self evident from the membership. Many thanks to all of...
