Super score at the U-pick today...!

I was bored today so I went online and saw the U-pick had 20+ Blazers, Bravadas, and Envoys currently there; normally they only have like 4 or 5... Went there just to browse and found an unused cargo net hiding in a Bravada Onstar compartment! I also found 7 different pull covers for the cargo area, so I grabbed the best one; matching color for the win! $5.32 later, they are both mine!

Couple of quick pics of the H.I.D conversion kit. Super simple to install; plug and play.

Can't wait until the snow melts and it's semi-warm out. Picked up a Porter Cable DA polisher with plans on getting the paint in crazy good condition this spring. Also can't wait to get the Gen 4 rims back on...!

I have been thinking about doing an HID conversion. Where did you get yours?

Well, with the weather finally clearing up here and spring starting to show up, I decided to get a few things done the last couple of days.

I replaced the steering gear box and pitman arm; I had a 6 inch dead zone in the steering wheel. OMG I forgot what having good steering felt like! After my alignment, I decided to drive to the U-Pull yard as a test drive and just do some browsing. I ended up finding a hood liner in really good shape and a pair of gloss black side tailgate covers.

I'm debating if I should keep the covers I have on there (white) or replace them with the gloss ones (kinda give the back of the truck a wrap around glass look). I'll put one on tomorrow and get pics, see what you guys think.

Also have plans for the hood liner, but you guys will have to wait a couple of days to see that one. : )

The tailgate cover things, before and after I buffed them up.

The cold weather has finally snapped! You know what that means right? Time to work on my.... neighbors Chevelle.... GDIT... Over the next couple of weeks, though, I'm gunna get my truck from "winter mode" to "summer mode." In the mean time, my truck has developed a noise in the lower control arms, (video of said noise), what do you guys think it is; control arm bushings, lower ball joint, an angry squirrel?

So started prepping the Blazer for my summer conversion and i'm stuck. Don't know which version of the side covers I like better, mat white plasti-dip or gloss envoy black. What you guys think?

that is a tough call, they both look good. I am leaning towards the black since the back windows are all dark tinted, but that is just my $.02.
