If I even had a slab of concrete here at the house I'd be getting more done, but dirt isn't going to cut it.

That's the worst. Have to lay out wood just for jackstands.

I got some 2x8 plywood I keep tucked away for after it rains. Maybe if you got room, see about some 1inch 4x8 sheets, and cut them down to 2x8s, easy to handle, wide enough from side to side of the blazer, and durable enough to withstand a little beating....

I understand the lack of energy after work especially during your busy season when people discover they have little or no A/C.

Pick and choose from your list but some can be done without rising the truck. The steering coupler replacement would be one I recommend. I love the change after I did mine.

The brake switch isn't hard just have to squeeze in there and it takes less than 15 minutes. If you're talking about the brake pedal switch.

I have thought about thick plywood and we have a Lowes nearby. It's easy to pick up as I have a long bed truck. Cutting them might be a different problem as I don't own a saw, but maybe the neighbor has one.

The brake switch, steering coupler, and other various small items I have, can be done without lifting the rig. I guess I've been in lazy mode since the heat hit. I need to keep reminding myself that winter is coming. Thx guys.

So far, I have the rims, 31 inch Falkens, Stereo/GPS sitting in my garage. Got 30% 3M ceramic tints on my windows, and a double din bezel arriving tomorrow (thanks Jensen!). Getting a 3 inch body lift fabbed for me from a reputable builder. Haven't bought the Go Rhino brushguard yet but I will in a month or so. Still can't find the rear tire carrier to save my life.

If you lived closer, I would sell you my rear tire carrier. Think I'm going another direction with the spare ..

The thing is big and bulky, and heavy.... I'm sure it would be well over 100. Probably too big for usps... I'll see if I can get a quote from UPS and FedEx this week.
