What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today? - Page 41 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Will do!

**DeadheadNM** · 04-15-2020, 05:39 PM

You bet!

mgkgmc · 04-15-2020, 09:18 PM

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

**PDXk5** · 04-18-2020, 11:02 PM

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.

Ptjsk · 04-19-2020, 11:01 PM

Installed steps I made.

**SoCoC10** · 04-26-2020, 04:01 PM

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

mister.freeze · 04-26-2020, 05:21 PM

165 lbs? That’s cute.

**3757chevy** · 04-27-2020, 12:21 AM

Just drove it to town to help out with a few chores at my mother in laws. Sorry no pictures

mister.freeze · 04-28-2020, 03:03 PM

new plug wires and advanced the timing. Made a world of difference. To bad 'OEM replacement' just means 'a bunch of random lengths.'

amashal · 04-29-2020, 10:45 PM

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.

**3757chevy** · 04-30-2020, 12:50 AM

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.

I bought unfinished msd wires last time I replaced mine. You get to make them the correct length. Nothing too hard either.

mister.freeze · 05-01-2020, 09:14 AM

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.

I added this one to mine. I know it's not a Blazer.......sorry

Ptjsk · 05-01-2020, 10:12 AM

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.

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.

Green Monster · 05-01-2020, 11:00 PM

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:

Ptjsk · 05-06-2020, 11:54 PM

Top off today. Windshield removed, both with preparations to finish the paint.

Pat

**SoCoC10** · 05-07-2020, 07:40 AM

Top on for the first time since rust repair, body and paint were completed.

That sits right and looks perfect! Looks like the paints in pretty good shape too.
