^that's what I was going to say before I finished scrolling down the page!^ I ran without one for a couple years and never felt like it would have made any difference if it was there or not. I did make discos for the front bar tho.

i changed core support, put on a black bumper, a grill, headlights, and parking lights. i bought a blown up blazer for 300 and pulled the parts i needed. i scrapped the blazer and made all my money back from it i also kept the automatic tranny and the rearend (differential). i put tilt wheel and cruise control on her and all mtx speakers in doors dash and the back panel with a kenwood cd player... i welded on a flowmaster and man she sounds good... i also changed the camshaft position sensor and my fuel pump. i showed my blazer a lot of love last week. and she runs strong and is showing the love back this week she has about 1200 tied up in her right now and i wouldnt have it any other way.

Been working so much have not had time to do much to her but did get a new trans mount on her today, and waiting for my new AC DELCO cap and rotor to get here from rock auto. Hope they make a diff with the way she is running.

Tired of trying to stop the dayco belt from squeeking, ordered a gatorback. Believe it or not, baby powder would get rid of it for a few days. And my truck smelled fresh and clean, like a newborns bottom!

Just installed a new wheel baring pass side she drives so much better now. And ordered AC Del-co rapid fire platinum spark plugs from Rock Auto they were 30$ cheaper than the parts store and that's with shipping. I love Rock Auto LOL

I got my fuel pump changed yesterday and both rear shocks changed today just before the storm hit. Going to aim for both CV shafts, both front shocks, and my sway bar links tomorrow.

Fixed the headlights, fuse for the drivers side ballast was so corroded the wire broke and drivers headlight was not working, got a new fuse, cleaned the fuse holder, crimped on a new connection and loaded it with grease.

I then pulled the radio to fix a loose connection behind it.

Next weekend I am putting the tccm in and changing the oil, and possibly brakes.
