Thanks but the 105 just isn’t enough when I run my heater fan on 4 cause it gets so cold here and then my rad fans kick on they draw 70amps right off the bat then add headlights and dash it’s all a little too much. The rebuild place called me this morning saying my 145 is all done being rebuilt. It’s 142 plus taxes so I’m just gonna leave it since I got a 253 coming for 177 with taxes and shipping

 

you should check out blazen_red’s rig as well. I followed his for the efan upgrade and doing the optima yellow top like his as well

 

i have my new optima yellow top in and my new 253amp alternator in so far I’m loving it but have you had an issue with power draw at idle when stopped and not having enough there? When I’m stopped and my efans kick on it just doesn’t have the juice at idle but just gas solves that. I’m gonna be changing the pully to abit smaller just winding if u had to

 

So did a few things had to replace my driver shaft as the slip yoke had some mayor play with the ujoint bearing caps and was cheap to get a driveshaft at the wreckers then it was a new slip yoke $40 vs 120 for just the slip yoke and I got a different roof rack as my homemade was super heavy.

 

So an update I had to replace my torsion bars found a set of zr2 ones for $60 I had to remove them myself. Turned out mine were in backwards. Raised my height back up and found out my new shocks were shot, rough country is sending me replacement ones as well as a control arm bushing. I have a few parts in order should be here this week

Black one is the old one the new ones are thicker
thursday I’m doing some frame repair have a crack on the drivers side

 

Ewww... that doesn't look good...

Those bars look nice, easy to pull? Any tips?

 

Getting mine out were a lot easier then getting the zr2 ones out took some hammering and a couple hours

 

Got my frame all fixed up and cleaned it up nicely. Then my mom went and bought a 2000 blazer ls so I have been put in charge of keeping hers running now too. She will be bringing it today for a complete tuneup

My moms 4dr ls beside mine

All cleaned up

 

So been alitte bit since last update. I’ve painted like I do every spring and swapped out my front seats from leather to a split 60/40 cloth was super hot yesterday and I burnt me a$$ lol abit more comfortable but that could be cause the seat was shot

 

Looks good! I've been contemplating on the 60/40 seat
