Budget Square-Body Chevy K5 Blazer Gets New Tires and a Flex Test!

It’s time for the Chevy K5 Blazer to get some love, so we install a set of used 43” Super Swampers TSL SXs on it, which should have no problem being handled by the one tons and diesel under the hood. Then we flex it out, and it looks like it’ll be a good off-roading partner for the Powerstroke Bronco on 44s. All that’s left is to give it one final look over, button up a few loose ends, and then it’s ready for the trails. Be sure to subscribe to see it out there!

Looks killer on the 43s!

Thanks! Next time we go out for a non-Bronco related event, I’m sure it’ll be in attendance.

Just to let you know the algorithm is working

[@BocksGarage]

Why do you say that? New to the channel/coming acrossed my videos?

[@host.9826]

@@BocksGarage yeah 👍 😎 your video got recommended me out of nowhere

[@BocksGarage]

That’s good to know, hope you enjoyed!

[@aaroncupples344]

Does it have a 6.2? I got a red and white 82 in my driveway.

[@BocksGarage]

Yes it does! And that’s sweet. Did yours come with a diesel? This one was swapped out of a Suburban.

[@aaroncupples344]

@@BocksGarage yeah mines factory 6.2 silverado edition with all the bells and whistles.

[@aaroncupples344]

@@BocksGarage wish I could figure out its production # since it's the first year they made them. Has to be one of the first few made and only 90k original miles. Third owner.

[@BocksGarage]

@@aaroncupples344 Sound alike one heck of a rig. I wish I could help you more with identifying it, but my expertise is more on the Ford side of things.

[@Sir.JohnHawkins]

What wheels? They almost look like old hmmwv wheels

[@BocksGarage]

That's exactly what they are. They're a cheap option to be able to get true dual beadlocks.

[@Sir.JohnHawkins]

@@BocksGarage oh okay cool. It threw me off being 8 bolt. Usually they're 12 or 24 bolts. I'd like to get a set and recenter them.

[@BocksGarage]

@@Sir.JohnHawkins I think the oldest style was 8 bolt, and then they moved to 12 bolt and then eventually 24 bolt. What are your plans for the rig? If you’re looking to run them on the street, Trail Worthy Fab sells some that are already recentered. If it’s more of a trail rig, then it’s not terribly to possibly do it yourself or just run spacers.

[@Sir.JohnHawkins]

@@BocksGarage that's what I thought too. Some street driving. I'll check them out thanks!
