I am almost finished with replacing my front grill assy from an 89 a 3 piece grill to a 91-94 grill assy. New core support, new grill assy., new upper and lower fan shrouds, new bumper, new impact strip, new corner lights. new marker lights, new GMC letters and new lower valence. In the process I blasted and painted all mounting hardware. The front end is much more clean looking. I need to mount the lower valence and get the AC recharged and the transformation will be complete.

Good lesson to about always keeping our eyes on the road but what a sucky way to get reminded of that.

Newguy that sucks man! Watching your Blazer come along has been inspiration for myself and mine Glad that you guys are okay!

Any plans on getting another S series?




I finally got around to installing my new winch solenoid pack today after the original one melted down like 3 months ago and I've just been too lazy to mess with it...

The solenoid is mounted and wired to the winch, and I also installed a 500 amp cut off solenoid that I've had laying around that goes to it so that I can disable the winch completely, mainly the 12v main wire going to the solenoid, and only arm it when I need to use it. I tomorrow I'm going to run the wiring into the cab so that I can install the switch to activate it. Got a late start on it today and ran out of daylight... But they wife's out of state all week with family so I have her car all week, so I can take all the time I need

I also went ahead and re-did some of my battery connections, wasn't super happy the way they were... They look MUCH better and more sturdy and secure now...
