Finally fixed the stripped threads on the hood on the Jimmy with a rivet nut. Cheap eBay rivet nut tool worked great.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Got the original tail light harness re-soldered and re-wrapped with non-adhesive electrical harness tape. Inserted a plug-n-play trailer harness to replace the one that was inserted with a crimp style 3-way connector. Everything is back together, works and looks much cleaner.
I have to decide what plug to put on the end of the trailer harness. Any suggestions? I don’t tow but it used to have a 4pin. |

Took this monster off the Ochre K5. Weighs 165lbs! Added a chrome rear bumper to match.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
new plug wires and advanced the timing. Made a world of difference. To bad 'OEM replacement' just means 'a bunch of random lengths.'

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Installed new push on door weatherstrip a few days ago. Felt good to finally work on it so I ordered the window weatherstrip that night and it all arrived yesterday. I installed passenger side today. Might do driver side tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Drove to work this afternoon and stopped by for the dreaded Walmart visit. Picked up Subway on the way home. Would have much rather went for a drive in the local hills.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
these were 'lifetime warranty' wires installed by my brother years ago. I've done the cut-to-fit Accel kit before and liked the results. Will probably do that this fall and keep these as a backup.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Doors and Tailgate done! Now all that's left is the fenders, door jambs and windshield frame. I will be removing the windshield first though.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Thanks, it was a pain and I had to make my own brackets because I didn't like the way it fit. But I like it now.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Blazer and I resumed our (top) on again, (top) off again relationship.
This is the first time my boys (3 and 2 years old) have seen the roof off. They were rather excited jumping around in it immediately afterward. My 3 year old races out of the house to see the topless Blazer. Me: "What do you think, isn't cool?!" My son: Turns and looks at me with a serious face and responds, "Why you tryin' to make your Blazer a Jeep, Dad?" Me: ![]()
