pictures;
before and after the first set of lights

got some new lights today

had my dad make some brackets for me to mount em on

enjoy the pics lol

Hmm those brackets look interesting

you like? i have some mock-ups with my dad's lights...if ya wana see

sure are you mounting the lights upper like snow plow lights or lower ?

are you still going to put some by the windshield ?

looking good. those are in an interesting spot

Looking good! Is a 2 inch lift and some 31's also in your future plans?

thnx LT and cherry, 31 not sure about and lift definatly and idk about the windshield idea...maybe later on

**EDIT**
these are NOT the lights ill be putting on...the ones im puttin on are going to be rec. ((post #2))

have to say that those, even though they are not permanently on there, look good. why arent those staying on

They dont look bad at all

they look like plow lights =P

they do look like the lights i see on plows around here. for sure a unique way to mount them. maybe that will be a new 1st gen trend

lol id love to be a trend setter....and those arent staying cuz my dad has made it clear that those are his lol...ill get holes drilled and lights atleast mounted tomorrow hopefully wired too

what lights are you gunna put on. i didnt beleive the hype about the harbor freight lights being good lights but they are amazing. and for ten bucks you cant beat it

wat im puttin on is called "platinum burner series" ((got em from walmart)) 2 lights and a wiring kit for 27$.....~7x4 and 55w

got em mounted to the brackets just need to bolt up the brackets to the frame and need to run wired

and trying to drill thru that with a cordless drill with a low battery is aggervating

i think that those match your truck better than the rounded ones.

yeah...matches the boxy look of....well pretty much everything on it haha

You have the same tires that i have. I love them.

yep...theyre great...gets me where i need to go...>.> and sometimes out of where i didnt need to be haha

did some work in papaw's garage...and i finally hooked up my new lights

heres some pix... lol

my girlfriend/copilot Jennie, me,, and the Retina Burners :icon_flamethrow:

Looks real good .. are they wired with relays ?

no sadly...but still work and look great.....the wiring kit only came with wires and a switch...but ill probly pick up a relay and retro fit it in

okay now that we got her lit up...need to tackle the dreaded fuel issues....

like most of yall know, the fuel gauge is stuck at over-full...thinking i might have to drop the tank...((again)) and replace the sending unit

ive had the tank off before and the float moved just fine so the float itself isnt stuck or anything

any suggestions before i drop the accursed tank and aimlessly throw money at it? haha

Heres some homework for you Gm service manual to the rescue !

Lol the 1st cause is funny .......

fuel gage says empty because i have no fuel, who now gio i think you are defying the laws of common sense with that one

Hahaha, oh man. The fact that it says it in the manual means they had to explain it to somebody....

One thing I learned in the Navy, a lot of the "stupid" comments, guidelines, et cetera are written in blood, because someone WAS stupid enough to need it... myself included at times lol

haha

so you're out of gas?....:icon_rtfm:

diagnosis complete...sadly it is the sending unit...thus another tank drop is near....this would make the 2nd on this blazer....5th or so all together....

:icon_woot:so excited...:icon_no:

At least it's good practice?

ehh i guess u could say that....but this time i think ima put a trapdoor access panel so i dont have to squeeze between the tank and the frame to unhook the lines....or heck i may just lift the body and try to get it that way haha
