Finished my gauge cluster and LED lights. Still chasing a bad ground somewhere in the headlight harness and an inop fuel gauge.

grillzy · 08-22-2017, 11:43 AM

that looks nice

81turbota · 08-25-2017, 03:09 PM

thanks Grillzy. I'm currently chasing more grounds.

I installed the new steering components today - tie rod and ends, steering stabilizer, drag link and dropped pitman arm. I'm going to replace the other front spring eye bushing and take it for an alignment.

These pics were from mock up, everything has been tightened and greased since

dirish · 08-25-2017, 07:06 PM

New hub dials with my sons help.

bobshotrodblazer · 08-25-2017, 07:11 PM

Installed a new class IV receiver
Hitch

**BIG ORANGE** · 08-26-2017, 09:12 AM

Just ran the exhaust on my blaze pictured in avatar,,,,
Hope to bust off the new engine this week.

grillzy · 08-29-2017, 06:51 PM

New master installed.

**DeadheadNM** · 08-29-2017, 10:15 PM

hatch handle back in hand with a fresh chrome coat

**3757chevy** · 08-29-2017, 10:21 PM

Nice I like

**Blazer690** · 09-02-2017, 12:35 PM

My Blazer got a new dash pad and tach.

Lieferson · 09-02-2017, 08:36 PM

Scored a NIB Hickey front diff cover off CL for 50 and installed it!

Another 72 · 09-03-2017, 12:38 AM

No wrenching today, but I did purchase a good, clean OEM grill and OEM hood, as well as some Goodmark inner fenders. Monday morning I'm picking up OEM fenders and OEM core support. Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning - depending on family plans - I hope to dismantle my 1972 front end sheetmetal. Or maybe I' should finish bending, flaring, and installing the rear brake lines, bleeding the brakes, sealing the rear diff, adding gear oil, and driving around the neighborhood (no bumpers).

Decisions, decisions!

dirish · 09-03-2017, 08:53 PM

Off to Church, beautiful morning in Tennessee!
Rare for all 3 of us to be in "ruby" at the same time.
Great Day!

Yesterday I took my 72 jimmy to hawksnest trails and the punkhorn on cape cod in massachusetts

**Blazer690** · 09-30-2017, 02:10 PM

I had a really bad crack down the middle of a console top and I just couldn't throw it away sooo. I got this idea from a picture of one in Florida.Can holders with or without covers

bobshotrodblazer · 09-30-2017, 06:37 PM

Cool idea

**raggedjim** · 10-01-2017, 10:18 AM

No pictures but I replaced the rear end gasket, replaced the harmonic damper and seal, replaced the thermostat, replaced the upper radiator hose, put some rtv on a few of the intake bolts, and replaced the push in breather on the valve cover.

I THINK I finally have a blazer that doesn't leak!

You might be the first my friend. Realized what I thought was a small trans gasket leak was actually my speedo gear in the tail housing. Fixed it this morning after replacing high end, leaking Griffin radiator with a stock big block radiator yesterday. It was leaking, only a year old and maybe 400 miles, all because my block had some rust build up. Flushing coolant system now.

At this point I've solved coolant leak, solved trans fluid leak and only have a small dab of oil coming from rear main seal.

**SoCoC10** · 10-11-2017, 05:59 PM

Picked up from my paint guy.

**SoCoC10** · 10-11-2017, 06:08 PM

Started reassembly of the Blazer. Highlander's interior is all original(with the exception of the new ACC carpet kit).

briank · 10-11-2017, 08:25 PM

Looks good...pretty good turn around

Finished the interior today. Next week I'll be focusing on the outside, installing trim and engine bay detailing.
