**SUPER CUSTOM MILITARY CHEVY K5 BLAZER**

OFF ROAD/ON ROAD/MOUNTAIN/RANCH/WAR/SHTF/ZOMBIE TRUCK!!!!!!!!!

 

86 Chevrolet K5 Blazer. Fully customized from the ground up, no expense was spared on the build, totaling over 55k. This 1 of a kind truck could be used for many different purposes, from a show truck, advertisement for your business, an expedition truck used for camping/towing trailer out in the middle of no where or an end of the world zombie attack truck! This truck could be daily driven with no worries, its very reliable and gets decent fuel mileage with the LS motor! Listed below is a short list of the modifications/upgrades done.

Drive train:


2004 5.3L LS engine, bored to a 5.7L, mild cam and valve springs and long tube headers. Recently rebuilt with only 1000 miles, with paperwork!  Brand new Sanden A/C system
700r4/4l60 overdrive transmission, recently rebuilt with paperwork, only 7700 miles
3/4 ton axles with upgraded gears, Detroit lockers front and rear, disc brakes front and rear, everything was rebuilt, bearings and seals (both axles), ball joints, tie rods (all moog), warn premium hubs, wheel bearings, essentially everything was replaced or upgraded.
np208 transfer case rebuilt with 7700 miles (paperwork too)
37" military Goodyear tires mounted on hummer h1 double bead lock wheels with the run flats.
Dual Batteries with battery isolator



Exterior:


1.75 inch .120 wall DOM Exo-cage. This cage has countless hours of engineering and quality workmanship put into it. It is 100% professional, not a joe-blow backyard built with a 110v welder. All the welds were done with a massive 220v welder and are very clean. Tire swing is mounted on chromoly heim joints for the piviot and polyurathane bushings at the latch points.
Bumpers are made of 3/16 plate steel, which is double layered in most spots. front bumper has a smittybuilt 15k winch mounted in it.  The canvas top is made from military grade material that will not tear or come apart at freeway speeds. At freeway speeds, the truck is air tight.
Under the canvas top is another roll cage that houses a custom hand built rear window track, that allows the rear window to be fully functional.  RIGID LED lights mounted to the roof rack. (2k worth of lights).  Polyurethane bushings throughout truck including body mounts



Interior:


DIY4X Aluminum dash loaded with AutoMeter gauges, A/C and Heat vents, Pioneer stereo system, and all high end rubber coated switches.  B&M Pro Ratchet Shifter for the overdrive transmission.  Custom bucket seats, front and rear.  Lizard skin top and bottom of the truck. Really works good, very little road noise.  Custom touches throughout like grenade 4x4 shifter, 50 cal bullet for e-brake release.  CB and Siren/PA System



I know I'm forgetting more details. The list goes on and on with custom touches and upgrades. This truly is a 1 of a kind truck, it draws massive amounts of attention at car shows. This truck was never off-roaded. It was used as advertisement for a local gun shop in Mesa.


The entire roll cage was built with high end machined couplings for complete removal if ever needed. The custom roof rack is also completely removable if you need to modify it to fit a turret for a .50 Cal. The inner steel topper is also removable if you ever wanted to put a original hard top back on UNDER the roll cage. That's right, I thought of almost everything. The rear window rolls into a weather seal in the steel inner custom frame. There is also a Power Inverter under the passenger seat and a custom drive shaft. It now has a dual exhaust that exits on the right and left side, all matt black and custom. Sounds amazing. The stereo is a 1,000 watts and has custom speakers in the rear. Also comes with a custom button in cabin divider not shown. This allows you to close the the forward cabin to keep in the heat or A/C.

Comes with a spare Hummer Run flat tire with custom tire cover

***2 almost impossible to find BRAND SPANKING NEW Scepter Military fuel tanks on the rear swing gate which also contains custom locks to prevent any idiot from actually attempting to steal from a truck like this. Never had anyone try yet, just the look of this truck is enough for people to know not to screw with the owner!***


 

 I added some pictures of the LS Motor prior to it being installed. Sounds amazing with the 3" Dual exhaust pipes not shown in pics.

GM starting to talk seriously about 200-mile EV

Sun, Oct 12 2014

We've been hearing word of a 200-mile EV from Chevrolet for a while now. First, there was General Motors then-CEO Dan Akerson hinting at a $30,000, 200-mile EV that would take the competition by surprise. Then Akerson confirmed that GM is working on a 200-mile EV in a speech in March. LG Chem, which supplies batteries to GM and other automakers, recently said it was working on batteries for EVs with a range of 200 miles. GM's head of global product development Mark Reuss just re-confirmed that there are plans for an EV with a 200-mile range, and sources have told Automotive News what that car will be. While Reuss didn't mention anything about a specific model or platform, two undisclosed sources with knowledge of GM's plans have said that an EV with a range of about 200 miles is indeed in the works, and that it will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic. The sources also gave a timeline for the car, saying it is slated for sometime in 2017. According to Reuss, the plan is for Chevy to offer a lineup of electric cars, with the 200-mile EV joining ranks of the Chevrolet Volt and the Spark EV. He didn't hint at a timeline, but if the sources are correct, we could see a Sonic EV being built within a few years. Reuss sees demand for it, too. When speaking of the Spark EV, currently only available in California and Oregon, he says that "people wish we would sell it all around the country." If he's right about that, it's not difficult to imagine people taking interest in Chevrolet's 200-mile electric car, whether or not it's a Sonic.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
