LS swap K5 Blazer with 40s and tons!

[@scottymac713]

I’ve got a 1983 k5 blazer I’ve owned for 30 years this year, I’m in planning stages now to restore glad I found your channel

[@DXFXmc]

Man... You are G.O.A.T!! YOU. have thousands of MIONIONS!. Always Awesome content. Spreading the work I Merricks Garage..🤗🤗❤🤐

[@MerricksGarage]

Cheers man!!

[@koripekka]

I think this is the coolest blazer ever. A high-end build with lots of details, and still in rough use and has character of a beaten offroad machine. Rolled twice, frame bent few times and always rebuilt to be better than before. Good work! 🤘

[@MerricksGarage]

Thanks man. That’s how I like to look at it too. Like a hammer with a work patina on it

[@adrianlaverick8040]

Your content is amazing dude. I've been subbed for 4+ years at least and enjoyed the entire ride. Love the blazer and now the burb

[@MerricksGarage]

Thanks man! It’s been a wild ride!

[@dillonmcdonald85]

Awesome content! I tapped my vapor line into my water pump and it works great!

[@DXFXmc]

Watch every second of your videos. Better than the NFL!!

Have a great time on the Rubicon - Safety Third! Can't wait for the next adventure!!! Sand Hollow again????

[@MerricksGarage]

Thanks man!

I’m building an 84 4runner with an LS th350 and Toyota cases. I’ve been thinking of going with a 205 for strength and front digs

[@kodymiller5528]

Great content man! Just saw you drive through my town in Nevada! Keep it up!

[@MerricksGarage]

What town? Headed down the 395 home after running the rubicon!

[@kodymiller5528]

@@MerricksGarage I saw you leaving gardnerville NV. So cool to see you on the road haha. I’m building a 86 Cucv and you’ve helped me a bunch! Love what you’re doing to the burb!

[@rickclement9439]

Just saw you guys headed up the question grade at 1:20 on the 22nd and have fun

[@rickclement9439]

(Cuesta grade) correction

[@MerricksGarage]

Yup! Headed up to the rubicon!!

I am having a problem with the factory gearboxes

[@lauraaguilar6428]

What about that light bar? What’s the setup for it? Is it custom bracket?

[@MerricksGarage]

Yea it’s a custom bracket I made. If enough people are interested I can produce more

[@davidjuhnke3350]

A lot of good info, thank you

[@Kurnacopia]

Does anyone know if a 203/205 doubler has any affect in loss of horsepower in daily driving? Or is a doubler only good for serious crawling and off-road only rigs?

[@juanfo7307]

High steer? TC skidplate

[@MerricksGarage]

Tough to impossible to run high steer with links.

[@lokihallow]

What shifter setup did you use for the 4l65e??

[@HAMMER_2.2]

Do you happen to have a video on your custom frame that deals with body mounts? Im trying to find ideas of custom body mounts for a cab extension on my obs c1500.

[@MerricksGarage]

Not really specifically but the frame build videos do get into it

[@fattybir]

How do you smog it in Cali

[@MerricksGarage]

It’s a pre smog vehicle

[@thedobermangang3503]

What do you think is the best gearbox for K5 with 35s on it with a 3-in body lift the tires are 35 x 12 r15

[@MerricksGarage]

Stock motor?

[@MerricksGarage]

If yea then 700r4

[@hongmihnhahn7081]

How many of inchs is it lifted?

[@MerricksGarage]

Just enough but not too much

[@jacobellis8135]

Hey james. Got a couple questions. I'm running 35s and I also used airsoft BB's to internally balance my tires and used a ratio of 13 lbs of wheel and tire to 1 oz of BB's and I'm still picking up a slight vibration. How did you know how many BB's to use? Also I'm still using my stock frame and would like to install some rock sliders like you got. Where can I find a set of those?

[@lukebauer1449]

I think he got those on DIY4x

[@MerricksGarage]

Yup DIY4X. I didn’t really have a formula. Just chucked a bunch in there 😂

[@JusstLynnn]

Heck yeaaa
