Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
I know its small stuff but I installed the K5 emblems, the side trim (before and after) and tail light / tailgate trim.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
It's crazy, the people that have side trim and emblems take them off and the people that don't put them on, as the world turns...

 I know. The PO pulled off all the trim etc and bondo'd up the holes...seems like a lot of work. Must have hated the trim. I personally like the look.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Orange donor floor is now in my medium blue CST. Donor floor was media blasted, metal repaired, seam sealed, primered, painted, and undercoated before installing with new hardware and urethane body mounts.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Well, everything went well with a couple short test drives yesterday. Took it to work today and got stranded twice on the way home. They have not corrected their issue with the fuel command center overheating and boiling the fuel.I mounted it where the heater and fan motor used to be, which I feel should be far enough away from heat sources as you can get in the engine compartment. Called Fitech and talked to Bryce since I had time to kill on the side of the road. He said that location isn't good even though the literature that comes with it suggests this location. Just keep kickin' the can....

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Took some stuff to my media blaster so I had him sand blast a set of Rallys for my CST. Matched the two like new Wild Country All Terrains. Two new tires, four Rally wheels and a coat of paint. Not bad for $300.

I don't like running trim rings for a couple reasons. They scratch up my freshly painted rims; they seem to fall off from time to time and I think the rim looks larger without the trim rings so don't run them.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Added a new transfer case shifter ring. Biller aluminum, made by fellow member Mcbassin.
Not the best picture, and not cleaned up, but a very nice product! Thanks Mike |

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
I finished making my faux boxed frame panels. They are to hide all the wires and lines. Did the whole frame, bead-rolled and dimple-die as well.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Yesterday I installed a seat belt on the drivers side. Then I bolted down the center console.
Today, I installed a new set of hood hinge springs. My Blazer had hinges but no springs. For twenty bucks and a half hour of work my hood opens and closes easily now. Plus, I learned a new trick on installing the springs that made the job really easy. |

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Got an update from my metal guy on my CST. Front cab support, inner rocker and floor repairs are done on the passenger side. "A" and "B" pillars are almost done and a final figment of the outer rocker is going on now.
