The tires are really good so far. I've only taken them off road a few times and they have crazy-good grip. On the road they're a bit loud, but still better than most MTs. I do have more experience with General AT2s, which I have run for 25,000 miles on a Nissan and still have a ton of life/grip left.

Default tb spacer

After install of tb spacer, better lowend throttle response. Also I have a couple of overpass hills that previously caused a downshift while on cruise control, with tb spacer it now pulls those hills @ 50 mph without downshifting. So I really think it is of some benefit. 2004 4wd, auto, 3.42 gears, general grabber at2 235/75-15 tires. Does anyone know where I can find good headers? I have have a friend at a muffler shop that can get high flow cats. I want to go with 3" pipes and split after muffler into 2 1/2" duals. Anyone have any thoughts about this plan?

Tried for three days to add a remote door lock but couldn't figure it out. So what I did to my Blazer today was give up and put the wires and panels back together without messing up.

Got shocks install..learned that the shop that previously did it, installed 2wd shocks or short ones but not the correct ones. Did some joint greasing as well, and touched up the undercarriage and exhaust with some high gloss paint. I also decided to get rid of lower valance as well.



My girls dad tenants detail the blazer after also.. looks great !!

kind of overkill for an otherwise stock 4.3. I run 3" collectors on my 350 v8 then reduce down to 2.5" twin pipes. .and even that is over kill.

Replaced my 4x4 switch and learned that the t case encoder has issues too. but at least 4lo and 2hi work :> fixed my hvac temp control cable.. so now I have something other than full heat :> learned that my temp gauge sender is bad.. also discovered the trans isn't locking into park correctly.. need to adjust the linkage a tad. got the passenger door reassembled, even tho I need to order new panel clips. fixed the driver's side window so that it goes down and up.. not down and foward.

Went to the wreckers today and found a black Jimmy hood and got a starter also the Jimmy I got the hood from had heated seats and grabbed a drivers side heated seat switch trim then found another Jimmy envoy and managed to get the passenger side heated seat trim. Picked up my new shocks and put everything on
