I will post more about what I planning on doing but I have to run to work lol
I saved this jimmy from the scrap yard for $400 back in march and have been doing little to it here and there. Update when I'm off work https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1448163591 |
What is the year of this jimmy?It`s in great shape for it`s age though.
|
its a 96 and I found out that it was wrecked in the left back and was fixed and replaced by the previous owner. It has some peelimg of clear coat on the hood. There was peeling clear coat on the drivers fender and I bought a new one and painted it got it aligned the best I could then forgot my door pins\bushings on my drivers door sagging went to close and scrapped off paint on the fender lol o well I will never buy an aftermarket fender again what a bitch to align.
BTW does anyone know were I can get that lower trim piece on my fender in my picture above. |
I will be looking to awd this jimmy and removing the engine. I will be doing it next year as right now its way to cold out and I dont have a garage to work in.

So I really haven't got much done to the jimmy lately. I've just been buying some stuff like my $100 used 5 hp 60 gallon 220v air compressor I will post pictures of it later just have to clean it up lol it was covered in dirt as It was sitting in an old mans pole barn. It ran great just needs cleaned.

Yea went to pay for it at the pick and pull and she said $15 my jaw almost dropped.
Going Back Thursday to got the stuff to make my jimmy AWD. I found all the stuff off a 94 bravada while I was there the first time tried to get it off got all bolts off but 2 and I busted my knuckles trying to get them off but they were way too tight. My New Kobalt Impact Wrench I just bought should get those bolts off https://blazerforum.com/forum/attach...ine=1449373100 |
