I want to do a lightbar first, going to wire it to the foglight switch. Jensen is getting me a headlight unit that has that switch since you can see my Blazer doesn't have fog lights. I have to do more research on winches, but I probably won't do it until after I move to New Mexico.

You'll have to do some fancy wiring with that original headlight switch with the fog light in order to get that fog light switch to work with aftermarket wiring. The original fog light switch is actually a momentary button that sends signal to the BCM to turn the fog lights on and off. I want to say that an aftermarket add-on module for it to work right exists to turn the momentary push button into an on/off signal with aftermarket wiring and a relay.

Adjusted both my mirrors today, for the first time since we bought it, with the switch on the door.

Gotta say thanks again N. Jensen!

OH, somehow I almost forgot

Ordered a COMPLETE Diamond Edition interior from another one of my stores (salvage yard)

Front and rear seats, door panels, and steering wheel. Donor Jimmy that was rear-ended has less than 70k on it... It looks MINT! When I seen the pictures my jaw dropped.

I know I was in the process of grafting in my Cadillac ATS seats in, but I'll gladly ditch that project for the Diamond edition set. Just didn't think I'd ever find any in good shape. I kind of stumbled on these by accident to be honest.

Should have everything this week and I'll get it all installed over the weekend, weather permitting.

The place I'm taking it to is a truck mod shop that does this kind of thing for a living but thank you for the knowledge drop because I'll be sure to let them know.

I swapped out my 2" body lift for a 3". I also built up my steering stops so my 35x12.50 tires would stop rubbing the frame until I buy spacers.

Thanks! I never planned on it getting this big, but one thing led to another. It has came a long way from when it was the wife's daily driver. Next major upgrade will be to solid axle it.
