Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

Drove the Blazer around last night for a couple of hours on a beautiful FULL MOON night. About 75deg. & pretty and clear. Drove through Canaveral National Seashore which borders the N.side of the Space Center. I was thinking about nearly 50 years ago guys blasted off from right here to go walk around on that big ol' Moon. Hard to believe they did that in '69 just a couple of years before my Blazer was made.
Nice piece of road but I don't go fast out there 'cause there are some BIG wild hogs... and lots of smaller ones.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

I installed my new 4 point roll bar from Off Road Ltd. and new front leaf springs from LMC. Roll bar is a nice piece with great fit and finish, just measure, drill holes and bolt up!

That roll bar looks great. Your truck looks pretty clean as well. Good job.

Pull the interior and got drivers side body mounts replaced. Passenger side today and put the interior back in. Wish I had my seats back from the upholstery shop to do it all at once.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

Installed my hoist in the garage today and tested it out. Plan to start building the top frame this week.

BTW I just picked up this top and it needs new hardware if you have suggestions on where to buy please let me know.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

Did not like the 13" steering wheel that came on the Blazer when I bought it and the OEM one I had was in really bad shape so I put a 15" Comfort Grip Steering Wheel on and I really like it.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

Also Installed a Retro Sound Model Two Radio and some front and rear speakers. For the rear I went with the Custom Auto Sounds Undercover II speakers because the interior panels are in such good shape I did not want to cut them and put a 6x9 in. So I had to make some brackets that slid behind the factory panel and allowed me to connect the speaker to it. Worked out pretty good (so far so good). I would recommend this stereo to others that are thinking about upgrading their radio it has pretty good sound.

I forgot how nice it is having a stereo when you are driving around, LOL. The Bluetooth feature is really nice too.

It's crazy, the people that have side trim and emblems take them off and the people that don't put them on, as the world turns...

I know. The PO pulled off all the trim etc and bondo'd up the holes...seems like a lot of work. Must have hated the trim. I personally like the look.

It looks good! I contemplated taking mine off and filling the holes but have decided against it now.

Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?

Orange donor floor is now in my medium blue CST. Donor floor was media blasted, metal repaired, seam sealed, primered, painted, and undercoated before installing with new hardware and urethane body mounts.
