yeah true. next time iwill but it was abuddy whod been daily driving it when he didnt drive his bagged truck. he never even put it in his name till i was buying it from him. and when he did that i already had truck and we found out it had stolen tags. (from the person who owned it before my buddy...it was the tag off there other truck. LOL). and i work at a sheriffs department..... so thats taken care of.


today in the snow i replaces my blower motor......



everything almost out




found my overflow is cracking out





got the blower out



OLD ONE TOASTED


figured out that the weatherstripping right above the blower motor had somehow dislodged- and causeing the snow to pile up on the motor..and on the rubber line the ventilates the motor....weight on it pulled it out just a hair (i looked before i pulled it apart) and as the motor got hotter it melted the ice and fried the fan...

new motor


SHINY!

while i was finishing up the mailman came and the first part of my order has made it in.......



my spacers for the rear!!!

but i work overnights........ i got off work this morning - ate and got to tearing the blazer down so i could have heat again. now i gotta get some sleep before work.... ill be doing more very soon .

thanks for looking guys. and if you have any ideas dont beafraid to shoot them now or forever hold your piece!

Well my new tires are here... still waiting on the mail to run today.
got my brakes sitting here on the table and my new mirrors for both sides (just sock ones) are here) also got a pa speaker for my cb to hook up.

we got a forecast of 12 more inches of snow today. =( so i really hope this stuff stops because over the next week i should get almost all of my orders in and be ready to start fixing/ modding some things.

ive been doing alot of reading over the past few days and writing down things im going to fix but it sure has been cold here and not having a garage sucks.......

currently im working on figuring out what is wrong with my interior lights seeing as the switch is the only thing that turns them on. hopefully its something easy because my alarm/remote start is scheduled to be installed in a week and a half.










heres some pics from when the snow started falling last week.....









And my windows freshly tinted in the front.....

most recent mod other than replacing my blower motor in the snow lol
