Filled in my fenders with expanding foam! Should keep it rust free for winter, looks not too shabby either. But i got the foam stuff all over my hands (SMH), it is a PITA to get off, and after 24 hours its just starting to peel off.

Near Future...

Oil Change
Extra Reverse Lights
8000k HID with 35W ballasts from hidextra with a relay (christmas present from girlfriend =)))) <3)
Rear wheel bearings (squeel like hell)


Where should I mount the extra reverse lights??? Hmmmmm

Okay so I have the urge to update my build...

I'm at school right now so I can't upload pictures but....

I have done...
-bedlinered the visible frame
-Washed it
-Got the rear tire carrier adjusted properly
-Rubber floor mats
-35w 5000k HID's

In the near future...
-Full size matching spare
-Single in dual out thrush welded muffler with pipes out before rear wheels
-Figure out my brake issue


Brake issue
ABS was acting up so I pulled the fuse and just had the warning light on for the past two months. Was braking fine! Now the brake pedal is really spongy and after putting the fuse back in my Emergency Brake light (red) has come on along with the ABS coming on and off intermittently. Here we go again, I love treasure hunts..... not...

nice build and mods you have there..a spongy pedal is a sign of air in the system. look for leaks first. if you dont find any line lock all 4 whels and step on the brake pedal. if its a hard pedal then go to the master cyclinder..i would suspect a leak though.

Thanks for the reply, Bled the rears in my auto shop today. At first there was air in the line, but after pumping and all that good stuff the fluid came out with no bubbles. So we figured we had found the problem.

Put the truck in gear in 2hi while up in the air. hit the brakes the wheel still spins even with no tire in it, neither rear caliper engages. So now I have a feeling its a stuck calipers. But the pedal is still spongy as ever. It is still somewhat driveable, but only in 4x4.

I was at a stoplight yesterday in 2hi, It was icey, I was stopped. Brake was engaged and truck in gear and the rear wheel (s) sat there and spun, there is absolutely no brakes whatsoever, so now i figure i need to keep it in 4hi. This has been a problem for awhile because when im slipping and put in to 4x4 the i hear the t case clutches grind (ouchhh) and never knew why, now I know. This needs to be fixed. And soon!

Wish me luck. Might be doing a full brake job.

these blazers are a pain to bleed the brakes out on..this is what i would do. i would put something under both wheels to catch the fluid..open the bleeder screw one one side and let it gravity bleed for about 30 minutes (be sure to keep fluid in the master) then do the other side the same way..thats how i had to do mine..tried the pumping the pedal thing..never got all the air out..gravity bleed it for 30 minutes a side and fixed the problem..good luck
