I was actually wandering about that. I saw a few people who had 31's on the 1st gens.



Anyway on another note I really wish companies did same day delivery no matter what day of the week it was. Having a huge hole in my dash where a Cd player should be really sucks.

Well a little rant about Cartoys.com. When I placed my order for my dash kit I was extremly happy about the price, 8.99 and free shipping and handling. At checkout it said it would take 2-3 buisness days to receive my order via UPS ground, awesome. I call today because it is 230 my time and I was just wandering if I could get a tracking number. The customer service rep very rudely told me that it was 11am there and that it probably wasnt ready yet. When I asked him about when it would be ready he gave me the lovely response of I dont really know sir. By this time I am tired of trying to be nice and so I asked him what the hell did he know and if he couldn't give me anymore info then I would like to speak to a supervisor or someone who does know. So he connected to his supervisor who apologized to me and told me a tracking number should be on its way in a few hours. I was fine with that. It gave me a time line. Out of curiosity I asked him about how long once the order is shipped could I expect to receive my purchuse? He said 5-7 buisness days. Not what they promised at checkout. No where near it. I am pretty upset with the customer service and integrity of this company. Even though they have great prices I don't think I will be going back nor would I suggest them to anyone.

I find Crutchfield.com a lot better. At least you know for next time not to use them.

Yeah, I have used crutch a few times with really good results. I just found cartoys a little cheaper. i guess you pay for what you get.


On another note the mtor had finally reached its "break in" point today and I decided to test her out on the interstate. Well it was pegged out at 100 on the mph guage and my GPS read 135 and still pulling. Then smoke started bellowing out of the hood. I guess the stock radiator just couldnt take it anymore and crapped out on me. Also the thermostat stuck closed cuasing the motor to over heat and it ended up making a good centimeter sized hole in the housing around the thermostat. so needless to say its in the shop. I am suppose to get it back tomorrow. Only gonna cost me 150 bucks for a brand new (bigger) radiator, colder thermostat, all new hoses, and all new coolant. That price also includes labor and taxes. Thank god I have a really good friend who is a mechanic haha.

Got the blazer back and she seems to be running great. Quick question though: Does anyone else's temp flux a little? Mine is moving between the half way line between 100 and 210 up to almost 210. It never quit reaches but its not moving much. On my previous vehicles it would warm up to operating temp and stay there. Just wandering if I should start checking temp sensors or what? Maybe im just paranoid lol.

So after driving around looking at this for two weeks

im gonna get in there tomorrow or sometime this weekend and fix it. I just got too pee'd off today.

Well its been awhile since I updated so I figured I would give yal a quick spill on whats been going on.

I have not done anymore to the blazer nor have I fixed that crooked radio haha.

My little girl came into the world a bit early. She was due on the 23rd and they brought her to me on the 14th. So all mods was placed on hold for a bit.

Here is a few pics of my princes:


Here is me and her when I first got to hold her. I know I look like hell. But I had been up for 38 hours at this point.

But this sat im going to find some door speakers. I was tipped off on a local flea market having brand new speakers for dirt cheap so im gonna go see what I can find maybe grab a sub or something.

Congrats! Good luck in the Future!

Do you still have the RC 2" suspension and body lift? If you do, will you take $300? Please e-mail me at pzal777@yahoo.com.

Well guys I'm back. I know I kinda dropped off the face of the earth for a while.

Little story on what's went down since the last time I posted.

For starters my little girl is doing great she is turning one in a few weeks and couldn't have a bigger attitude lol.

Also I had sold the blazer and bought a 2001 xterra. Thought I needed something with four doors. The xterra was great but mpg sucked. I sold it about july and bought a 98 dodge ram 1500. My dream truck or so I thought. Turns out the guy I bought it from was a horrible shade tree mechanic and had jb welded a 2 inch crack in the block to sell it. Weld let loose about a month ago I got it sealed back up and started on the prowl for another vehical.

Now luckily I sold my blazer to my younger brother and he came into some trouble so fate found the blazer back into my driveway.

So now I'm picking up where I left off with a few change in plans.

New list of modes are as follows:
New door speakers no def brand picked out yet maybe some walmart specials
A decent lift around 2 or 3 inches
Some nice all terrians walmart has some agressive goodyears
Still want to do the face lift to convert the grill to the newer style.

That's about the extent. I do plan on buying another truck so the blazer is going to be just my toy. It may end up with a bigger lift and tires or I may end up tubing the rear slappin some slicks under it and. Beef it up with a supercharger. Not really sure we will see how it pans out.
