What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

[AsianBlazer]

A few things,

Mounted the Mickey Thompson Classic Baja Lock wheels on the new Yokohama Geolander tires, installed the Rancho RS9000 shocks, mounted the new inner and outer grilles, and finally removed the front bumper to prepare for mounting the Chassis Unlimited front winch bumper!

[1972 Jimmy]

Still making progress... Slow but sure!!!

Replaced my leaking Steering Box in my 72 2WD with a 78 version to get a little quicker steering and no more leaks. I needed to change the rag joint because of the smaller shaft size. I used a Lares 201. This is NOT a job I want to do again anytime soon!
The Blazer drives like a different truck. Nice and tight and a better road feel.

[A1971Blazer]

got rid of a hacked up rear light harness........... and a hacked up engine harness.....replaced both with new AAW harnesses...nice pieces, perfect fit!

got the leaky-azz headers off......got new ram's horn manifolds on and hooked up temporary exhaust so I can drive it to the muffler shop.......

Cleaned up the 72 2WD after 4414 miles doing the 2016 HotRod Power Tour.
Tampa to Gonzales LA on up to Oklahoma City OK back through Dayton Ohio to drop off my friend who came with me. Then back home to Tampa. No issues except 10 miles from home the throttle cable stuck for a while. Gen 1 350 flat tappet carb engine 700R4. Saw a blade for a Wind Generator and had to get a pic next to it. They are BIG! So glad I have Vintage AC, it was so hot in Texas and Oklahoma. #hotrodpowertour2016

Got my Vintage Air compressor and brackets in, replaced the leaking power steering pump. Put the radiator back in. Tomorrow I'll start on the inside stuff.

My '70 Jimmy went outside for the first time since 2005 for a good pressure washing. going to do some painting so I can get the new engine, t-case and th350 in the chassis. No pic of the tranny right now. It's in a bag under the bench.

Nice job, looks much better. As far as the file up loads, I load one file and upload and then load another file and upload. You can load five files at a time but I find that the upload fails. So load a file and then upload, load a file and upload... a bit of a pain but it works so you can have all of your photos on the same post. I know there has to be a better way in 2016 to do this without going to an outside storage. The thing about storing the files somewhere else and then linking them here is if the outside storage changes no one can see the photos anymore. OK enough about that, are you painting the bumper black or body color?

Thank you for your kind words! I will try that next time I post photos. Gonna go with black for now, but may change it eventually.

Would love to see it but don't have Facebook. Can you post it here?

[Chulisohombre]

I thought you could just click the link and look. Maybe I'm wrong with different privacy settings.

[Chulisohombre]

I put up the pic in my profile now if you click it.

They are very similar. I love the small lights on yours. Are they l.e.d? And the fog lights behind the grill look awesome

[Chulisohombre]

Thanks. No, not led. They are the same bulbs that are in the dashboard. Got them from a truck stop. But I have seen them at regular auto Parts stores too. I used angle iron welded to the core support crossmember to mount the grill lights. I had two more at the ends of the bumper but I crushed one against a tree and couldn't find the right same one to replaced it with so I just pulled the other one off the other end.

I might have to steal your idea for the fog lights, looks really cool

[Chulisohombre]

No problem there if you do. They work great and are out of the way. With the aluminum mesh grill insert it doesn't block a lot of the light from behind there either. It would still work good with a standard grill but the thickness of the plastic would block more of the light from coming through I'm guessing.

[codejitsu]

Finished my bumper. Filled some holes, Sanded,primed and painted

Installed a 5.3 vortec on my 72 k5
