Thanks for the info. I don't have a Blazer is why I asked. I'm not going to go crawling under anyones Blazer in a parking lot to look either. That's a recipe to get your butt kicked!

A 4 door has it around the same as the pickups... and the 2 doors is where the tire is... pictures without butt kicks!! Lol

I think I have a picture of mine with a skid plate in my build thread, and I believe theres a pic of a 2dr gas tank being installed on a 4door frame in the rubber ducky build thread, I believe it's called... wonder what happened to that build?

got the step daughter to clean out the interior, vacuum and wipe down, on our blazer today. Wifes sonoma was done a few days ago.

Fixed an intake leak. Noticed that the truck was making a strange whistling "hissing" noise when light on the throttle while the wife and I were on the way to go shopping. When we got back in the truck to head home, as soon as the engine was started, it threw the check engine light. Checked it right then and it said both the O2 sensors were reading a lean condition. Popped the hood and found the intake hat (K&N intake setup) had slipped off the throttle body... Quick and easy fix right in the parking lot with a flathead screwdriver at least

Installed a new-to-me roof-top cargo box. $200 CL find. Nice considering new boxes alone start at $500!

I think I would have preferred one that was not quite as high but this will work just fine for storing off-road recovery gear.

you can literally buy a jk bumper with a tire swing on it and get some one to weld it to blazer bumper mounts, and maybe pay $650, thata what I'm doing!

Got a couple cans of the wd-40 specialist white lithium grease. And sprayed every joint amd bushing i could fine. Let it sit for an hr, then drove it. No more squeaks, vibration i felt in the peddle is almost gone, less road noise. Looking forward to my 2.5 hr drive later. Ive been really paying attention to my ultragauge, trying to fine that sweet spot for good mpg. Compared to 2 months ago, i have went to an average of 14.5 to 16.3 combined. Not bad at all. It makes you really adjust your driving habits.

I love my Ultra Gauge too! I got it primarily for the transmission temp sensing for towing.
