German 98 Blazer build

Hi guys,
just wanted to share my build with you. Btw, that`s a really nice forum here...

Plans are to make the car ready for some 3k mile trips around Europe.

If I was me I would reduce the height of the top bars on the roof fack. the rear one I woudl keep about 1" about the tent to protect it from limbs. the front one I would cut down to the height of the tire and make an aerodynamic wind break to help get wind over the vehicle.

Hey,
Just curious as to what part of Germany you are in? I am heading to Graff/Vilsect early next year and am trying to learn more of what to do and where to go in Germany...I'm a little excited.

Hi,
I`m located near Ulm, that`s around 200miles from Vilseck. Near me is the famous "Blautopf":
