I actually just replaced my worn old idler arm with a Moog problem solver one. Hoping that does the trick. I also replaced the cylinder heads, head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, all intake manifold gaskets, and got the new design spider injectors. As for intake, I was more leaning towards a cold air intake since I can tune it to really utilize it properly. I'll be doing that after exhaust though.
Since I wanna do some off-roading, I'm focusing on tires first. I really don't wanna re-tune the speedometer if I can get some good performance out of stock tires. Spacers may be the way to go but I'm gonna look into rims with low offset first and run spacers if I still need more.
Regardless, I'll keep everyone up-to-date!
The Ultragauge OBDII gauge/reader also has the ability to report a corrected speed. Because the lowest number of displays is four, I use two of them for the coolant and trans temperatures (with alarms), the corrected speed, and the forth is whatever I'm interested in at the moment.

On the transmission hump.

Not bad at all! You're center console is completely different than mine haha! Whatever I do though, I'm betting it will look better than what I've got now. I'll have to take pictures when i get off work.
I couldn't find any photos of them on a Blazer, but If they look like the ones in the thumbnail, I'm not sure that I'm interested. Does anyone have any recommendations?
I got some old (mostly likely) Bushwacker flares from eShaw. (He is great at finding odd Blazer parts at wrecking yards.) They are from a 2dr and will have to be modified to fit my 4dr. Jungle Flares sells a set that are for 4drs. https://www.junglefenderflares.com/1...fender-flares/
I'm not happy with the way the Jungle Fender Flares would attach. I copied a bunch of images of the 4dr flares at a wrecking yard (I think in Sweden) to see how they were attached. (See below) I almost want to get the Jungle ones because I don't know how long they will keep making them but as I said, I would have to modify them before I would mount them anyway and maybe the ones I have will be the best anyway. Ah decisions.

Those 4dr ones look pretty good to me! and they're about half the price of what I was looking at. Even If I have to modify the fit, I think it would be worth it. Thank you for sharing that!

You are very welcome. Sharing info is what makes this forum work so well.
And just be clear, you referring to the Jungle Fender Flares, right? If you do get them, be sure to report how you did the installation and how it turned out.
For the ones I got from a 2dr that I'd have to modify, I'm thinking of making some sort of mold that would fit to the door surface that then I could fill with some epoxy (The West-System G-Flex I think) and then I can use some high-end 3M automotive adhesive to attach them. I just hate drilling holes in the sheet-metal and starting rust at them.

Yeah the Jungle ones seem like the best option for me. I'll definitely do an update when I add them.
