I got the wheels done today. All satin black!
The rear fender flares were installed and I dismantled the brakes to paint the calipers.

 

Seeing this makes me want to get more stuff done on my blazer lol... great job man looks amazing.

 

Wicked Awesome!

 

It almost looks like a truck again!

 

Yes it does!

 

YAY! Windows! Now, how bout that wire issue? lol

 

So while painting the brakes on the truck I took them apart of course. So yesterday I went to put the caliper bracket back on the left rear and there was a puddle under the truck. uh oh... The rear brake line on the left side broke. So my beloved parts truck donated another part to the cause. Unfortunately the fitting where the line goes into the dist box on the axle was a different size. Tomorrow we plan to fix it and get er back mobile again.

Its looking like a truck and Im getting excited!!!

 

I figured that out and it runs fine again. I still need to finish the entire interior... ack

 

It sure sounds like it'll be a totally crappy job to do. Probably saving that for last I imagine.

100th post!

 

I had a productive day with the truck. Repaired the rear brake line. Ended up going to the parts store and buying a new one and making my own.
I worked on the passenger door. I installed the window channel from the Typhoon, the inside and outside door handles, and worked the outside 2nd gen handle rod and made it work. I installed the strikers, front bumper, wheels and remaining fender flare!

So here we are...




Still need some touch-up paint on the rollpan before I can install the tailgate.


The flares are serving their purpose.

Im excited about the window channel!!
