And here's the reason things get done so slowly on the blazer lol!
Just got the tax info from bentleys daycare.

Sad part is if you look at the dates that's only from the end of April thru December an I payed that much!!!

^I'll never give up my toys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^


I sent out my knuckle for machining for the high steer arm. I also ordered the arm, hardware and all new ball joints for the axle I found an awesome guy named Paul to deal with at RMQM Rocky Mountain Quality Machining. if anyone needs any machining or parts I would highly suggest giving him a call. He gave me a ridiculous deal on everything and then threw in free shipping on top of it.

Just ordered calipers and rotors for the 44. Double stacked some coupons on jcwhitney and saved about $50 on the purchase!

Its been a rough week this week Sadly we lost my mother in law on Monday morning to a heart attack. I have been helping my wife and her family in every way that I can and let me tell you planning a funeral is a huge PITA!!


On a better note tho my sister in law came into town and we had our second xmas in honor of Mom. As a joke they gave me a train horn and my wife a bike horn lol!!! My wife hates the idea of me terrorizing people with a train horn on the blazer so they thought it would be a funny joke to play on her Its not the train blasters kit that I really want but its still funny as crap to me!!!

Oh and my disks arrived for the d44! Several parts should be trickling in over the coming days for the swap

Hahaha, a train horn should be amusing as hell!

Sorry for your loss, Rex. We just lost my grandpa on the 26th, so I know what a pain that process is. Best wishes to you and your family.

Very sorry to hear about your family's loss. I hope all the arrangements and adjustment go smoothly for you and your family. I know how difficult it can be.

Regarding the lights, are you going to mount those horns to your roof like the box calls for?
