Maybe I should start a new thread called ....

"What has your WIFE gotten done to your Blazer?"

Well, things could have always been worse. She didn't get hurt, #1 ... and #2 she didn't hit anyone else. She slid off the road into a guardrail on the road I grew up on several towns over from where I live now. They redesigned the curve, because all the yuppies that took over that neighborhood got scared coming around the blind downhill turn. So ... the state widens it, and pitches the road TOWARD the guardrail, so wasn't entirely my wife's fault.

Gotta love winter ... but that's what we bought this thing for. To be the Sacrificial Anode ...

Got a buddy that knows someone that might have a fender. Going to need the core support, front bumper & left brace, left bezel & marker, possibly the inner fender, and a few other odds and ends. Will be over $500 at LMC, so used will be the way to go here. Parts for these things are few and far between around here, so might take a while. Looks like I'll be stuck driving this around town and the wifey will have my Silverado, until I find the needed parts. As if I needed more crap to do ...

Just finished the CAD work for the center link. It will correct almost all the bump steer. When I got the LCA almost level that corrected almost all the rebound toe changes but left 1/8 toe change at full bump. Cant wait to try this out.

Long time no see brother Chris! Take a look at what my wife did to the Blazer a few posts back ....

Just painted up the new fender yesterday - came in a day early.

Opened the box to my new chiwaneese bumper, and this is what I saw ..... WTF!! You get what you pay for, no doubt!

^ I would be demanding a new bumper if my brand new part came in looking like that! Or a refund to go somewhere else and get one that isn't rusted.

They got an earful from me. I told them to get me a bumper by SATURDAY, or give me my money back.

Should've just grabbed that one at LMC for double the price - would've been worth saving the hassle. Hindsight is always 20/20 ....
