Default J-fab's 74 ''blaze cage''

Heres a couple pics of my never ending Blazer project.Its evolved from a fairly stock 74 Chevy Blazer into this over the last 10 yrs of owning it.

Motor-Ramjet Chevy 350 350hp and 400ft.lbs

Trans-TH 350 with all kevlar clutches TH 400 low stall torque converter

T-case-Offroaddesigns 203 to 205 doubler with tripple sticks. 205 is a LowMax with 3.15:1 ratio.

Front end-GM Dana 60 with 5.13 Yukon gears,Yukon Chromo axles,Spicer U-joints,Tera Low hubs,Detroit Locker.

Rear end- Corporate 14 bolt Yukon 5.13 gears,disk brake conversion,Detroit locker.

Tires and wheels-42'' TSL Swampers on D.I.Y. Rockstomper 32 bolt beadlocks.

32 gallon Jazz fuel cell

Suspension-Front has 3/4ton 56'' Chevy rears using D.I.Y.'s beyond 52 front hanger.Rear has custom triangulated 4-link using 2'' dom tubing.uppers are 1/4'' wall and the lowers are a half inch thick. Springs are from Rubicon Express and they are 8'' XJ front springs.Rancho 15'' travel shocks do the dampening.

Wheelbase has been stretched too 116''

Steering-Redneck Ram hydro assist with custom bta using Virginia 4x4's beefy 2'' thick highsteer arms.1.5'' dom tierod and draglink with chromo 5/8'' heims.

And it is street legal and registerd as a 74 Blazer.Well it'll be legal again when i add a windshield .Going to fab up a fold down/removable windshield frame and get DOT legal glass cut for it.
