And now it looks great and should last for years to come! If you need some help if/when you do this to your blazer just message me and I'll walk you through it.

As for the sound system I think it is a problem other than the amp, I am only running an 800 watt rms system and I find the battery dead nearly every morning. There is a problem other than the stereo that I need to work out =\


Thanks man I will really get after it when I get it.....I have known that I would buy the thing for more than a month now.....just waiting on the money.....lol....You really inspired me to do it right man....since my last post on here I have been looking all kinds of things up online.....I really cant wait to start building this thing up.

lol....I read in your thread that you are waiting for the summer so you can have warmer days....I live in Northern California and I am having 80 degree days now......Only if I had the Blazer now....lol

Yup. It was worth a shot. That sucks about the cluster though.
Have you tried disconnecting your amp to see if the power drain stops happening? Just trying to 100% eliminate the possibility.

I haven't finished my window trim yet lol, I've done a little bit towards it but the process I'm going to use is use some body filler then sand that down and probably repeat, then prime then paint

Ok, because mine isn't that faded but it is rough.. i think some of the car washes i go to uses some pretty strong cleaners that are eating away at my external plastic pieces. I know it happens but i didn't think it'd do as bad as it does

I would bet that it's just sun rot. I rarely take mine to carwashes and it still happens
