Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
Ok, so this just happened. I bought a 79 Wagoneer for parts. All my window mechanisms are junk and the doors have rotted bottoms. Instead of patching and repairing, looking for individual parts and pieces, the plan is to swap all 4 doors. Also it has a power window in the tail gate, 2 hoods and a Bunch of other parts i can either use or sell to recoup some $$$.

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
I wasted no time today and swapped the doors. I'm also stealing the sill plates and weather stripping.

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
All you need is some roof lights and it would be a good looking constable vehicle. Glad you found a very nice parts source.

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
V8 are different from v6 and I can’t let go of my other one for the Lincoln. But as long as you find a v8 one it doesn’t matter I think

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
Josh let me help you out. Post 60 shows the issue with the distance to the windshield.

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
The dashboard on the trailblazer was 16 inches deep. The jeep dashboard was 6 inches deep. The wipers would have to extend another 10 inches just to reach the bottom of the windshield. Not to mention the geometry of their sweep would be crazy with 10 inch longer arms.
If i flip the wiper motor and mount it above the roof, the arms will park at the top of the windshield and sweep down. I just have to figure out mount angles, wiper blade length, and how to extend the existing roof rack or make a new one. I've got 2 roof racks, but they're both different styles. I was hoping to cut and extend the rack using the spare for parts. I'll post pics with a write up when i make it that far along. -Josh

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
I did manage to adjust the spare tire bracket so i can access the square drive with the accessory tool kit. Mounted "correctly", the square drive pointed up toward the floor board. I was able to rotate the drive downward so it is accessible from underneath the rear bumper, yet still be secured with a factory bolt and bracket.

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
Not much of an update, but i got my new windshield installed today. It feels weird you drive it without all of the wind in my face. The guys at the glass shop thought it was a pretty cool build.

Re: Jeep Trailblazer SS
So I'm still annoyed by the right turn signal being on all the time. I started pulling up the carpet to chase the tail light wiring harness, which lead to removing the seats and center console. The blue plug in the last picture connects the front turn signals to the rear turn signals. With it unplugged, the turn signals don't work, but the headlights, parking lights, reverse, brake and tail lights still work. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing or looking for. I was hoping to find a pinched section of harness with bare wires, but I'm afraid it's going to be under the dashboard. I've disconnected the turn signal switch, turn signal relay, headlight switch and replaced the fuse panel under the hood (it was corroded, so i don't feel like that was a wasted effort). I'm almost considering cutting the turn signal wires out of the harness with the blue plug and then plugging the harness back together. I have to leave a battery tender on the battery when it's parked because the lights are always on. I'll dig into it again later, but for now, I'm exhaust and tired of crawling in and out of the jeep.
