I haven't even done anything to the wheels to tell you the truth I've been meaning to get some of that Hot Rimz but I haven't done it yet. The fuel pump crapped out on me today so I reckon me and a buddy will try and get it running again tomorrow.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

I need something that'll clean up the sun visors there pretty dirty right now anybody know of anything that won't hurt them?

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Fantastik Should work, I've used it on millions of things, never has hurt anything.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Yes, Fantastic will work.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

i used spray nine...worked great

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Okay cool Thanks guys!

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Anybody know anything about the center console lock/latch. Mine will not latch and I can not figure out how to get it to latch any tips appreciated!

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

If the console lid is ever slammed shut, the latch mechanism in the lid will break, hate to admit I know this. You may be able to get one from LMC or Classic Parts, then take it to a lock smith and he can make it match your door key like it is supposed to. I did that with the rear window crank on my '79.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

The key works fine it acts like the latch is stuck or something i'm not really sure what its doing. I would like to have it working correctly though.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

I'm probably going to be cutting those front reciever hitches off soon. I have no need for them and who ever put them on took the two center bumper supports out of the truck. I'll be getting those cut off since they are welded on and then I'm going to get a air dam for it.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

is the latch already closed maybe....like a door/glove box can.....and not latch closed

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

I can move the latch with my finger but I cant get it to lock or anything. The key goes in and out fine also.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

if you take something like a toothpick and push the latch hook toward the lid does it ever catch or just swing free. if it just swings free the latch is broken. it happens all the time as they are made out of cheap pot metal. only fix i know of is buy another from a salvage yard

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

It just swings free I guess I'll have to get another latch at the yard if I can find a good one.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

i have found some that would stick open when dirty. it gets a lot of spilled soda/beer in that location. try cleaning the internals with wd40

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

ok i'll try that

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Ready to get an airdam for it

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Looking good.:bowtie:

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Thanks I haven't had time to do anything to it lately I've been trying to get my Fiero put back on the road

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

should i put the 15x8 rallys on the k5 and take the bullet holes off?

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Keep those stock bullet-holes on. Dont see them often. I personally like them much better than rallys.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

I regret selling my factory aluminum wheels. They have that factory style you just don't get with anything else.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

I like the bullet holes but I also like the rallys but I guess I'll keep the old bullet holes on

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

they look good but maybe look to get some when you want a "change"
I would use steelies for winter salt/abuse up here.....
howd it go with the latch?
i was looking at it yesterday wondering if the glovebox one is the same?

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

I haven't had time to go mess with that latch I've been meaning to but I haven't gotten around to it

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

haven't done anything to it lately been pretty busy lately

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

anybody know anything about this top and where i can get it? i dont wanna spend 700 plus for a soft top

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

I think they aren't in business anymore. I think the only ones available new are the Softtopper brand... I had a hard time dropping the $$$ also, but now that I have mine I love it!!! I paid the extra $60 for tinted windows for mine as well, looks and fit great. We love driving with just the sides and back rolled up. Best money I've spent on my truck, heck, now my wife even likes my Blazer!!!

If the soft top charms the wife, I need two!;)

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

I swapped out my drivers door wiring harness because my window switch wiring had issues and I have had nothing but problems. The window motor isn't working right on the drivers side it goes down about halfway and stops nothing in the tracks it will go up a tad and stop the elec. lock on the drivers door isn't working either the pass. side stuff works fine though. The drivers side isn't working fine at all. I believe the harness came out of a 85. I need help on this asap!

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Guess I messed up a ground? where would the ground be?

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

could be a crack in the wire going threw the door(check with meter)
the doors are wired diff if they only have power locks,not power win
(check colours of wires in the right spot in the plug)

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

It is a Skyler top. It appears they are back in business, website says they are avail, not cheap though.

I would also check the wiring in the door boot, all that flexing over the years tends to make the wires break.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Got everything working again. Window and lock work now :). Sometime soon I'm going to be installing this Pionner cd player I have into the truck. My plan is to put it in the center console and leave the factory radio in the dash.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Finally got a air dam found one at the yard today for 10 bucks

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Truck looks great. I just found a Fiero GT in a local junkyard, if that helps you at all.

Re: My 87 K5 Blazer project
 

Thanks! What type of condition is that GT in?
