I think I might rip out the rear carpet and bedline it this summer, how do you like the result?

 

I like it a lot better than the carpet but it is a major pain in the *** because under the carpet there's big patches of sound deadener that have to be scraped up with a heat gun or blow torch and a chisel, plus there's a big track of wiring that runs in the middle of the floor that has to be moved. Other than that its nice

 

I added this LED dome light the other day to provide more light in the back. I switched all the factory domes to red LED's and they just aren't as bright as I'd like sometimes. This thing more than does the job...

Lights up the back pretty nice...

 

Well, its been a good while since I've posted and I've got a lot to update since my last post so here it goes...

Replaced all 4 ball joints, idler arm, and pitman arm with Proforged brand parts that will hopefully hold up to my abuse since the Duralast and ValuCraft parts didn't...shocker! A week later my driver side wheel bearing went out so I bolted on a Moog hub assembly. And I finally got around to replacing all four shocks with Ranchos and put on a Superlift Add-A-Leaf to fix the sagging springs in the rear and it made a huge difference in the way it rides and looks.



Add a Leaf brought up the rear a good 3 inches, it was sagging bad before..


I also mounted this bottle jack in place of the factory jack that takes forever to raise and lower. This works much better..


Other than that all I've done is add floor mats, including one for the back which I cut down from a 4x3 stall mat from tractor supply.

 

I love my add a leafs also

 

Found a few partially used cans of bedliner in my basement so I took my wheels off, sanded and painted them and put some chrome lug nuts on and they look awesome! (imo)
Now I just need some new rubbers to put on em. I'm thinking Goodyear Wrangler M/T or Kenda Klever M/T

 

Finally got a set of tires! I went with Nankang Mudstar M/T's because I couldn't resist the price. They actually ride very smooth and I think they look really good. They are kinda loud on road but what else can you expect from a mud tire? Doesn't bother me a bit!

 

Nice looking tires. How to they do on road?

 

Haven't had them on the road much but they weren't rough at all. They do make some noise, but all mud tires will.

 

Bout 2 weeks ago the Blazer got a bad miss so I replaced old plugs and wires with NGK plugs and Bosch wires, seemed to run fine until I ended up on the side of the road. It was missing so bad it was barely running and then it started knocking like crazy and I thought for sure it was done for. Scanned it and it threw codes for random missfire and bad b1s1 o2 sensor! Replaced sensor, runs fine. The knocking was apparently just spark knock....scared the heck outta me!
