Don are you upgrading to the one ton idler arm? I just replaced my idler and it already has some play in it.

That I am. I gotta find where I got the info, but it's an adapter that bolts into place, then you can use the 1 ton... I've gone through 3 since owning it. Basicly one a year.

Swapped out the idlers arm yesterday, steering is better now, but still needs work. Found some small offroad areas to grab some pics.

Looking good Don. I found some parts off a zr2 blazer on my local classifieds. Rear tire carrier and the full set of skid plates. I don't think I'll buy them but if he has the fender flares I might pick those up.

Was just informed that I never posted pics of the plates installed...

Aluminum oil filter plate

Aluminum 3 button transfer case plate

Metal gas tank plate
I have the engine plate as well, but I'm still trying to find/make/retrofit the brackets for it.
