Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
I think the trim was purchased from Classic Parts. I put the studded clips on the trim piece and a little wax on the end of the stud. Line up and press. Wax tells me where to drill. Use 1/8” bit then increase in size 2-3 time until 1/4” bit. Measure at edges of the doors, rear of fenders and front of tub pieces. Also trim the front door trim stud so it doesn’t hit the back of the lower door hung with the door fully open. Cut off before installing or if you are working on a lift you can access by pulling the bottom fender bolt and cut with an air saw or carbide bit.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
The trim looks really good. Sone of the aftermarket trim I’ve seen, the woodgrain looks really light. That is going to be a nice Blazer.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Thanks. Been going together pretty well so far. Not clean but outside before the snow started.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Started mocking in my front buckets. They will be reupholstered to look original. They need to be lowered about 2", custom mounting brackets should do the trick.
Painted some small floor vent brackets and my windshield wiper assembly. Wiring has been laid out, I have to make some adjustments in order to add some 12v connections around the back seat. .... ummm, took an old rear seat apart so I can get the brackets powder coated. It smells like cat pee. Shower time. Yuck.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
So happy that you are having the seats redone; they do not match the rest of the rig the way they are and I hate them
![]() The console looks crowded and out of place; PM me for my shipping address and I will repurpose it for you.....

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Couple tips on tailgate trim. Used a small piece of steel speaker mesh behind the tailgate trim clips. This way when you push on the soft aluminum trim, the hard steel clip doesn’t leave a high spot on the trim. The barrel push nuts for chrome above the tailgate handle need 1/4” holes. I use a 21/64” bit for horizontal trim and trim around the tail lights. (OE is 5/16”)

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Looks great!
Is the aluminum grille housing original or aftermarket? If aftermarket, how was the fit to work with?

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Counterpart from Classic Parts. Fits well. Everyone that has had issues with fitment has used aftermarket fenders.
