Thanks! One of these days I'd like to lift it up a bit and put some 33's under it but it eats enough gas as it is so that wont happen for a while lol

 

Well, its been a while since I've posted so I figured I'd give an update. I am currently searching for a new daily driver so I can actually get some stuff done on the Blazer. And because it sucks gas and a few times has decided not to start (still tryin to figure that one out). Also I went on a trail ride this weekend and found out my 4wd isn't working but I only had to be pulled at one spot. So my next mod is gonna be the 4WD pull cable I saw done by rexmburns and gitch93. I will post some pics of that process when it happens

 

you are just like me

bought a 1997 blazer with 5 speed blew it up in sell when a month of owning it

put a jasper engine in and all new clutch stuff

what are your next plans big or small ?

 

Well, after the 4WD cable I'm thinkin I wanna go ahead and make a custom bumper for it, I've got damn near all the steel I need to do it, I just gotta get around to doin it

 

Goodbye vacuum, hello posi-lock! Got er done today with some help from one of my buddies. It works like a charm!

Here's the compression fitting on the bracket:


The cable coming through the firewall:


And the handle mounted under the steering wheel:


And yes, I know the Blazer needs a bath haha its lookin pretty rough. Also, if you were wondering, that is cow **** on the pedals. Lmao

 

The last 2 weekends I've gotten a few things done on the Blazer. Last weekend I installed a passlock override which will hopefully solve the problem I had with it not starting sometimes and the security light flashing.

This weekend I came up with a solution for my rear window release switch not working. I used a piece of 3/32" steel cable to wrap around the arm that slides to hit the window release and attached it to a T-Handle used for starting a weed-eater. Redneck engineering at its finest!

Here's the cable around the arm:


And here's the handle:


Works like a charm!

 

Turns out I have 30 dollars comin my way that I did not expect! New red LED's for the interior are on the way!

 

Put in some CREE LED projector reverse lights and the difference is amazing! See for yourself...

Needless to say I'm very impressed and happy with this upgrade. Makes such a difference backing up at night.

As soon as I have all the LEDs in the interior I'll post some pics of those as well

 

I like that, may have to do so myself. Did you order the LEDs online?

 

Yeah, I got them on Amazon for pretty cheap considering how bright they are and that they should last damn near forever. Here's the link
