Welp, I just read your entire thread (took my a couple days xD). But I must say you have one kick-a** Blazer. Gotten a lot of inspiration and ideas from you. My build thread is a little bit smaller than yours (mines only 2 pages haha). I love your Blazer, my favorite mod of yours would probably have to be your drawer in the back. Extremely functional and looked like it was supposed be there.

Good luck with your family, hopefully you guys can get it all figured out.

 

You have a great employer Rex. I hope your wife can find something else quick. I know how hard it is to be a single income household.

 

changing to a manual shifter and thinking of doing the cable to front end swap next.

 

Well went and played in the mud yesterday and as I was puling back onto the blacktop this came on!! (don't mind the mud lol)



And then of course I had very little in the way of braking power
I parked it and let is sit cause everything was wet underneath and I figured it had to be a leak of some sort and trying to find a wet spot on a wet chassis just isn't intelligent if you ask me So today I started it up and pumped the brakes a few times and got lucky and found my wet spot in the first place I looked


Guess I need a new brake line.

 

Was it the brake hose, or steel line?

 

The steel line actually.

 

just finished reading your build it is mint!!! definitely wanting to do a couple more things to my jimmy now. how do you like the bedliner? im asking because i have some a couple tiny spot or rust showing through and cant decide weather to take it to a body guy or do something like this. i love the look of it. did you have any rust at all before you started and has it shown through? thanks

 

Thanks for the compliments it's been a long road with an even longer road ahead lol!! I love the Monstaliner. I didn't and still don't have a single spec of rust on my truck I just did it for the protection and look of it. I know many have used it during their rust repair adventures with great results.

 

I'm not surprised, I've done my rear brake line twice now. It corrodes through and pops.

 

I use nothing but copper-nickel alloy brake lines now - so sick of replacing steels. The road salt here eats them up VERY quickly.

Ni-Cop is pricey, but it's a joy to work with (can make all your bends with your fingers), and while they turn a shade of green when exposed to salt, they don't blow out on you.
