in your one pic, hitched up to the pop up she looks like she is squatting a little in the rear
I was running into the same thing and it seemed to make my Blazer wander
I added air shock to the rear
Now I can adjust according to the weight

I'll have to look into that, can I ask what was all involved with the install?

Had to replace one of the blinkers so I did the quad beam mod.

So I went to replace what I thought were two burnt out bulbs for the radio presets, when I opened the radio up I discovered that all the buttons should really be lighting up, so now all my presets light up and I have ordered a pack of ten replacement bulbs to replace the rest. Boy that circuit board is fun to get off the front face plate if you don't have the right size driver. I was also going to add an aux in using the how to I found here:

HOW-TO: AUX Port in your OE Delco Stereo! (Picture Heavy) - S-10 Forum

but the cabling didn't look quite like mine so I bailed on that, I'll have to take a picture when I take it all apart again.

Finished my CB radio install today, got the 90 degree antenna bend I needed to get the CB to sit back far enough and the mic holder in the mail today, now just need to figure out a better way to go with the antenna. Used the existing power wiring for the cig lights to power the radio. Fabbed up a custom bracket cause the radio was free and didn't come with one, it worked out better anyway as I was able to mount it higher.

Started with the rear bumper today using spray truck bed liner, I plan on doing the front bumper and then the rocker panels after I fix the rust right behind the rear doors on both sides. I had some rust behind the bumper so I sanded and sprayed that with some rust inhibitor as well. Decided to take all the parts off, sand, and paint them to make sure I got everything good.

Sorry for the delay but yes I do.

That's pretty cool, I keep thinking about using my tablet for the truck or car, but I think I'd have to pry it from my kids cold dead hands.


Did the front bumper today.
