what have you gotten done on your blazer today?
That all depends on location my friend... as desperate as thing have gotten, I haven't seen anything worst then someone stealing my antenna on devils night 2 years ago... I'm trying to talk the wife into letting me make a little 5x5x6 shed.

so......
that little green table... my dad came home one day from the scrap yard with one... do you remember what vehicle it was from? Lol[/QUOTE]
Honda CRV sir Gotta be older ones as they did away with them after like 06 or so. I have like 6 of them, perks of working in a salvage yard lmao
As far as securing them, they've been stacked up on the back porch right beside the new rack for well over 2 years, no issues yet. The back yard faces the woods and the woods wrap all the way around, so there's no way of even seeing them unless you were to actually walk all the way around the house and into the back yard. I considered running a chain with a pad lock through the wheels and locking them tight to the rack which itself probably weighs 50-60 lbs, but locks never stop a despite thief... But yeah it really depends on the area I think. Around here, I think I'm fine
Front Brakes
Replaced the front calipers, rotors and pads. I should have done the front hubs to fix my ABS sensor problem but finances being the way that they are..you know.

Recently fabricated a winch* mount for the winch* my son took off of his truck. (He upgraded to a little bigger one.) We got it put on and hooked up today. It's kind of ironic because it was originally bought for his first Blazer but it got wrecked before we got it put on so it was put on his truck when he got it. Now, a couple of years later it's finally on a Blazer like it was intended to be.
Yes, it's off to the left on purpose so that the cable is centered. Besides, that gives him a nice step for reaching/climbing under the hood.

Prepped the back of my Blazer for taking out the cargo area carpet. I am intending to replace it because of some old damage that I suspect might have been battery acid that was spilled on it that has gradually caused a loss of fibers and then last weekend spilling about a quart of oil on it.
I got the interior panels off with one of those trim tools (which worked great) and then used a spray on de-greaser and my wet-dry vac to clean up some of the oil so to keep the truck from smelling like oil. I learned that the OEM carpet has a rubber-like backing. This means that the layer of jute underneath was not soaked in oil. With scrubbing in and vacuuming out the de-greaser I got just about all of it out.
I think I'll still order the new carpet once I get the sample swatches to check the colors. But it was nice to discover that the foundation for the carpet was water and oil proof and that the carpet could be cleaned with steam cleaner.
I was also able to get a look at the access, or lack of access, for mounting the external spare tire carrier I have.

I love it. Since it is a 1996 jimmy with a 98 blazer front end conversion i am Going to run the 98 in grill fog lights to one of the switches on the console and some hidden exterior lights from the other one.
