Thank you to SimpliSafe!
*Get's rear ended once* Now I gotta make sure i'm high enough that the car will pass underneath me and hit the car in front of me.
That would actually be pretty hilarious 😂😂😂
Lmfao
I would love to see that
Better be a lifted Honda Civic
Like in Tom an jerry where they’re in the space station and the robot Tom extends his legs and raises upwards.
My security system has 30 rounds of .223 in the magazine
Facts lmao i died when i seen tht
I got the 40 cal plan lol
I’ve got the 9mm plan, I love it!
That's for after the security system warns you there's a problem ;)
Street Speed 717 ahh ok maybe I should buy that security system and say you sent me 😂
cut out the rust hole and have the exhaust come out from there
That's a sick idea
That would be sick
Agreed.
no actually he should cut out the exhaust and re run the pipe to go inside the cabin from underneath the floor from a hole, i'm sure mike would love the smell and taste of that while he drives, seeing as he is a car guy and all haha
Right through the frame? Or under the frame then back up to hole? Lol
13:10 for lift, you're welcome!
Thanks buddy
Thanks😂
thanks bro
👍
Thanks bro
Every kid 16-19 cutting the exhaust off their cars because of you mike 😂😂
drew maples I did it to mine first lol then put hollowed out glass packs under it and a diesel tip lol 😂
I cut my muffler and got a borla welded on
I'm going to cut off the exhaust off my Honda then put a butterfly valve that way I can still have a stock exhaust but it can be loud if I want to
My brother in law convinced me too a couple months back 😂 it was worth it honestly to broke to get anything ran right now parents won’t pay for it and I’m in high school lol
i live in commiefornia so i cant
SEMA ready painting over the rust
So true😂😂

What ever happened to continuing the wall of license plates?!
I still have em! Need to get them up
Your supposed to jack up the front end of the vehicle before messing with the torsion bolts to keep from stripping them out or breaking them.
Just don’t spend more on wheels than what you bought the vehicle for😂
Bluefox 336 but some sick wheels would be better. Plus he could always just throw them on the Duramax after 😂 even tho I love the wheels the Duramax has
I bought one off a family member for $400 so i guess im not getting wheels
I think he finally figured out that people like to see projects that they can afford...
@@WopJr The Duramax has 8 lug wheels and the Blazer/Tahoe has 6 lug...so he couldn't use them for the Duramax.
@@WopJr you can't just put 6 lug rims on an 8 lug truck. You can buy a spacer adapter but that's silly
The old apartment... you mean where you had the license plate wall?!?!? Bring it back!!!!!!

Would be sweet to make it into a Baja Style prerunner long travel suspension Raptor Killer!!
Yeah that fits the cheap build theme.. roflmao Go to a pro prerunner channel to watch real mechanics do those kind of skilled builds
John Ranieri long travel suspension is not hard to install it would be epic to get all the 717 crew back together and three stooges their way through the build, don’t we miss those days?? Lol
max vids can get his ranger
not many LT kits for the obs. I say sfa, quicker and cheaper.
FixItNick I literally said this on the first vid when he bought the truck
Crazy how a $1500 blazer can bring way more views than a McLaren.
More relatable for more people
That’s because nobody cares about a McLaren.

Wood block body spacers sound sketchy but my dad used to have only a wood spacer kit on his blazer and it worked really well for clearance. He ran 37s without rubbing by buying a 2x4 from lowes. Also its CHEAP.
I was super shocked today when I thought an Equinox was in front of me at a red light and it said BLAZER
Exactly 🤣
That’s an insult the the equinox 😂
It was an early trail blazer
Not an equanox
They're the same thing anyways...
That's what I call a 20 foot paint job. From 20 feet away it looks great. Can't wait to see a lift kit and put better tires on it
Hell yeah man I'm really liking this series I'm in highschool and this is giving me some ideas.
Me to I want my frist car to be the 1986 blazer
I get my license in 2 months and I just bought a 94 gmc stepside
Kids dont run straight pipes. Shits annoying and sounds horrible. Lol
Garrett BigBear it sounds great, what you mean man😂 everything I got is straight piped or has an aftermarket exhaust on it though so that’s my style I guess
Will Vaughan yeah I got an 04 ram and the first thing I did to it was put on a flowmaster 40 series. I actually like the drone in the cab idk why everyone hates it
Hey Mike, have you ever heard the expression that a little knowledge is dangerous? Well that saying fits this video perfectly. Let's start with the exhaust. You should never vent your exhaust under a vehicle for a reason. The carbon monoxide fumes can rise up through the floor and dangerously fill the cab.... But you will probably be OK and not run into any issues with that...
Now for the suspension. The worst thing you could ever have done was touch those keys. The stock keys are not meant to raise the truck that much. You will destroy the ride characteristics of the vehicle and it will ride extremely harsh. The way you did it was wrong too. You are supposed to put the truck on a lift or use a jack to raise the wheels off the ground to relieve tension on those torsion bars before you start cranking on those bolts. You could have easily stripped the threads and caused yourself a very big headache. You are also supposed to count the revolutions of the bolt and make the same amount of turns on each side to keep it level. You should do a little at a time and then drive the truck a bit to let the torsion bars settle in. There is a limit to how far you can raise the front end, especially on a GM truck. You will notice on some GM trucks, under the upper control arms there is a bump stop that is part of the upper control arm that limits the down travel of the upper control arm. The more you raise the front of the truck, the steeper the upper control arm angles downward, and the closer the control arm gets to the bump stop.
if you do not leave enough room between the bump stops your truck will ride like a solid brick.
At the very minimum you should be able to get your thumb inbetween the bottom of the upper control arm and the bump stop. Do not decrease that space any less. This way you will still have enough travel to give you a halfway decent ride. While you can decrease this distance even more to lift the truck higher, your ride quality will suffer dramatically.
Like I said above, Always do a little at a time and with the wheels raised off the ground. Then measure, adjust, cycle the suspension by driving it, then measure again and repeat until you achieve the max ride height you want while still keeping it level side to side.
You will probably notice that even after you are done that over time the suspension will settle even more and you may need to make minor adjustments.
One last thing and this is extremely important... Keep a very close eye on all your suspension parts for wear. Especially your half shafts, your ball joints and your wheel bearing... In a regular car it is much easier to detect from driving if these parts are worn. But with large trucks like these it can be very difficult to tell that these parts are worn by just driving. You will need to visually and manually inspect the parts to make sure they are secure and safe to drive. I have seen wheels ready to fall off a truck and the owner either had no clue or only minor indication that something was wrong. And these were people with basic mechanical skills like yourself.
If you must, the best way to lift these trucks is by using a good brand name kit that comes with aftermarket control arms to keep the suspension geometry as close to neutral as possible. Good luck, and stay safe.
Wow my English teacher read this an said this was a 10/10 paper man
You sound fun to hang out with.
He wrong cause I got a GMC yukon and I did the same
Here for the best 1500 investment you ever made SS717
Considering his background is finance that's unlikely, also, his gopro was probably his best investment

MAKE IT BUDGET BUILD THEN RE BUILD IT UN BUDGET
That's what i'm thinkin...
Street Speed 717 great idea
I agree
I agree
Street Speed 717 eventually I’d live to see it on a 6” lift and some 35” boggers just because old school😎 it would be sick as hell.
Drives out of garage breaks teeth on first bump
Lol, we both have clearly tried this !
Don't forget how fucked the alignment is now lol
I bought my truck like that . Much better once I lowered it again
if mike didn’t sell the “old” duramax wheels he needs to get those on
8 lug sadly buddy-
@@StreetSpeed717 so many nice 6 lug wheel and tire setups on fb marketplace bro. You could probably find some nice newer silverado wheels for cheap
Adaptors
Adapters mike adapters this is a cheap truck project what’s cheaper than adapters and used wheels
@@StreetSpeed717 In my opinion you should just buy a rough country 3 inch kit it's still up there on a low budget
Mike, you should run that exhaust either out the back or out the side on an SUV. I know you’re a smart guy, but you really don’t want exhaust gases in your cabin. I’m excited to see the rest of this build.
This is totally the way i do everything...half assing it for life
You're supposed to drive it after messing with the bars to settle them it actually raise another half inch or more after driving it
Thats the best sounding V6 i've ever seen
had a 98 silverado that had cranked keys and 33. The front end on that thing is about to be suuuuuuper stiff. Lift keys get the same lift but doesnt make the front near as stiff. Definitely will be able to fit wide 33s now. Watching this makes me miss my truck so bad :((
Make sure to order a spacer for the rear so it can stick out as much as the front because those years the front stick out like 1 inch or more then the rear
i was able to crank my front keys and add a two in block in the rear to fit 16x8 0 offset 285/75/R16's (basically a 33.) I just need to take off the bumper trim in the corners between the fender and bumper. They were rubbing on full lock. Once I took them off I had no rubbing on road driving or off road crawling. It was only under heavy suspension compression I got a little rubbage. I also added kyb shocks (2" longer) to make things stable. CHEAP AND AWESOME SETUP.
Exhaust was installed by a RUclips mechanic. Zip ties, I'm surprised I didn't see any duct tape anywhere. Crackles and pops, no tune required!
I was surprised to hear crackles and pops from the truck!
I got a 02 Tacoma 4 banger 5 speed 4wd regular cab w 227,857 miles on it and it still runs strong
“Oh yeah, that one we might have to.... well??....” *cuts to mike beating the shit out of it*
Mike, You could easily solid axle swap that tahoe with leafs be cheaper then purchasing a lift kit for cv axle
Cranking the keys is gonna make it ride like a brick
I know
And fuck the alignment right up LMAO
My favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned was my old 2 door “00”Tahoe Z71. It had the vortec 5.7L, 6” lift on 35’s. I added some headers and true duals with race series flow masters. It was so reliable and fun.
You should of made the exhaust pipes come out of the rust hole

I gotta say I love this so much.. i have a 92 full size blazer (way better condition 91k on odo) and its fun seeing what you can do to these bad boys. Specially cause these videos may spark a new idea for me with my blazer!
Thank you mike for doing a build like this my first truck was 94 z71 biggest POS ever but I loved it. It just gives us kids something to relate to because some of us may drive something like that forever and never get to own a McLaren or a Duramax!!!
I bought a crown vic, day one cut the mufflers off. I incorporated the flex pipe to tips and ran them out the sides. Sounded sick for 30 bucks.
If the wood and hammer don't work, just hit it with the wood. 🤣🤣🤣
Mike is so proud of the price he paid for the truck that he put the price on the badges on the side of the truck
Jorge Almaguer nice
Dentside Ford Bronco project? That truck will triple in value in the next 5 years.
Looked like an f250 not a bronco
@@karlhopkins713 I didn't say it was a bronco. Just that that generation Bronco would make a fantastic investment. Though Mike would ruin it with some 16" wide 33s lol. Mike is actually Mexican guys.
I paid 1400 bucks for my high miliage 1996 z71 and I have had the most fun with it best money Ive ever spent ..she will go anywhere I put it

Mike can you please put a Whistle Tip on this. Your neighbors would love it.
This series is awesome. Thank you Mike for making content that’s super relatable and easy to do!
I found your videos and recognized you bc Ive trick-or-treated in your neighborhood. (Im not a creeper. You wont need the security system for me. Lol. It was just neat to see and recognize the area.) Love the vehicles. I like how you DIY many of your mods. Ive been modifying my Ram 1500. I debadged, added a magnaflow exhaust, new cool air intake (tweaked where air enters it) , high performance ignition coils, added camo racing stripes, new rims and all terrain tires, cab spoiler, airtabs, 30” LED bar, and just ordered a new front grille. Its addictive!!!
A real professional would've cover the hole with black duct tape, but that's none of my business...
Nah just need some spray foam and bondo
GM sure does make the best truck for years 1995-2004.
tazer blazer for the win 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You can go to an amish fabrication shop and you can get custom diamond plate cab corners to cover up the rust for pretty cheap.
Beater 717 channel . The Dakota sounds better than your buddies Craptor . 👍🏼
Get an alignment too, you'll eat tires. Plus I'm astonished that you were able to turn them up as easy as you did, I live in Mississippi and I cant ecen turn mine.
I guess you probably need all the extra inches you can get mike
If you are interested in getting an aux cord in your blazer i suggest you head over to discount stereo and since you already have a slave cd player all you will need is an AUXGM1 in your year specific model harness and you will have an aux i got something more complicated for my 01 astro van at Discount Stereo this would be if you wanted to keep stock radio. Sorry just thought id share some info i just used for myself do some research if your interested.

Who else came for the lift your truck for free?
You should always have the vehicle off the ground when working with the Torsion bar I personally had the bolt snap from to much pressure and the bar came down and slammed into my elbow resulting in a fractured elbow.
Thanks for the heads up
Noted
Mike i'm glad you took my advice so that no exhaust get's inside the truck,your welcome.
Ive heard that you need to jack the truck up to safely adjust those bolts as you could snap them, is that right?
Douglas Whitfield yes. That’s definitely safer than what he did. The bolts could snap, or the weight of the truck could snap something in the suspension setup if the weight is on the bars while cranking them. Super sketchy what he did. Do not recommend. Jack stands on the frame always.
Not to mention they turn so much easier when there's no load on them.
Douglas Whitfield yes it’s true
Don't forget how fucked up ur alignment is when ur done LMAO
EAST SIDE313 mine are maxed in my 01 2500hd and the alignment is still perfect plus I’m now able to run 35s with out rubbing any
"If u stand back and squint your eyes just right the rust is gone". Nice to c u get your hands dirty. Love all the videos kid!

so is your lease up on the 720 or what?? and where the hell is the "grandpa vette"? Did you have to sell it due to lower views??

Mike you should but a custom bumper on the blazer, do something to the engine to make it sound like a real truck like how the duramax sounds. I would've said the lift and tires but your one step ahead of me mike.😀😀. Also if you want maybe change to after market lights
Jack the truck up next time you turn the torsion keys,be alot easier,won't fight it as much
Too bad the alignment will be fucked when ur done lol genius..
I love how he makes his videos because he’s just like me lol has no idea what the hell he’s doing but he’s determined

Just a suggestion. Use a floor jack to raise the front of the truck when adjusting the keys . But good content brother. 👌

You can fit 285/75R16 tires under it without any lift. I've had them on my '99 K5 for 10+ years. Might just have to crank the bars up a bit. They'll give you a meaner look with them being tucked into the wheel wells and plenty of ground clearance for normal off roading
That Binford shirt.
Mike, for bigger tires for cheap and with good CV angles, consider cutout flares or an "extra large fender mod" (cut a pie shaped section from behind the wheel opening, bend back and weld).

Can you do a update with your mom with her car
Seeing you have fun with the Tahoe was the final straw that made me give in to buying a bigger truck. I've been thinking about going bigger for a while now. I love my little S10 Blazer, but I finally came to the conclusion there was just no getting around the fact that I couldn't make it what I wanted it to be even if I threw money at it. Even a v8 swap would have been a pain in the ass, possible, but a big project, and it still wouldn't have been ideal for towing with it's size, weight, axles, and brakes. I just bought a 97 Suburban "1500" 6.5TD, it's a beast, the S10 Blazer looks tiny next to it, especially from the front.
