Got the new powered driver side mirror from Partsgeek today. Installed it in minutes. Should recieve the 4 new door speakers tomorrow. Once I've got those installed I can install the door panels. I also repaired the driver side door panel that was cracked and had broken push pins.

Default Led headlights, blowouts, and has anyone else seen this diamond plating?

Leds
Factory spare tire, finally blew out
Diamond plate, previous owner said it came that way, blazer is rust free so its not being used to cover anything, but never seen it on any other blazers

Never seen this on a stock blazer. More than likely it was added on by some previous, crafty owner.
Looks nice.

ya, who ever made them did a good job, unfortunately the previous owner used it for hauling wood in the forest so it's got some nice deep pinstripes and dents everywhere

I need to get a new hood, passenger fender, and most likely both doors, the rest should buff out

Flushed the coolant the other day, what an absolute joke that GM did getting everything in there, no room to move or anything. Not sure if the previous owner did it (more than likely) but it already had green coolant in it, and from draining it there was still a bit of Dexcool left over. I'l go get it tested in a few days and see how strong it is, but it should be alright.

They are just cheap ebay leds, high and lows for $30.99
The plastic is a little brittle but they are plug and play with no boxes or anything you have to mount

Installed some Sylvania LED's in my front marker/turn signals under the headlights. They're the only spots I've been rocking regular incandescent bulbs for a while now, one burnt out, figured I'd upgrade

Finished cleaning and repairing all four damaged door panels. Used gorilla glue, gorilla tape, and strips of sheet metal. Finished repairing the broken driver's side arm rest. They all go in as soon as I get the new speakers installed.
