I'd like to know who puts a shifter with 2 cupholders like that. Who at Chevy 1) designed it 2) Who signed off on it and 3) Why do most manual cars have that? My dads 2018 VW Passat TDI is a stick and has the same set up. Stupid design
I know right. It's annoying and it took me about a year before finding the perfect sized travel coffee mug for the cupholder. Anyone on here that has these cupholders you know that any cup in them just tips over no matter how slow you go. Which is why one is designated to hold my phone and the other to fit that coffee mug. Or sometimes I just hold a cup between my legs if I'm desperate. No big deal.

I don't know yet from who, with no wifey and all.... headlight, tailgate, drop cables and taillight for ClifFord, front bug deflector bling for Black Beauty bravo. also a correct size spare Tire for the summer set... almost installed LOL. I WAS tryna clean OUT the front of the driveway LOL.
Got these shipped into a local store. Cost me less then the heavy duty ones I bought.
Rear Front Boots with clamps from rc
Noticed they are the n3 shocks and not the n2s that came with the lift, so will see how they are.
A couple of stickers to help with the horsepower
Ready for that ROUGH COUNTRY now. I just put some FCS ones on the rear and Gabriels on the front. My Blazer is standard height not raised or lowered. Rides smooth.
Got rid of the annoying coin holder on the center console and made my own switch panel to put there. Haven't wired anything yet, but planning on being my little "blackout" switch panel. Left to right the switches are going to control daytime running (Blue LED), brake lights (Red LED) and reverse lights (Amber LED). You can use these switches for anything really but this is what I'm doing with them
I got the 1/16" ABS plastic sheet from Ebay years ago and just had some lying around.
The switches I got on Amazon and they're "NiLight" brand that came in a pack of 12.
Coin holder with paper template to cut out the ABS plastic with... bottom of the coin holder...going to use existing tabs to keep it in place on the center console... cut out enough material so switches will fit... cleaned up and removed more material... got some 1/16" thick ABS plastic I had lying around and traced the paper template... cut the plastic to size... trimmed the plastic to conform with corners of the original... centerpunched where holes are going to be drilled... drilled holes to 3/4" with step drill... checked fit... switches... cut out the anti-rotation notch in the plastic for the switch... all notches cut out... checking fit of notches and switches... sanded down the areas that super glue is going to be applied... used super glue to glue them together... so far so good... sanded the ends and corners then wet sanded smooth... Here's the console with the coin holder removed... need to remove material so switches/wires will have enough clearance... I spray painted the panel with "Rustoleum Metallic Oiled Rubbed Bronze" before putting switches in and then put the panel in the console... looks much better!!!

I just love a clean, stock-looking installation. Nice!!!
Also put in this 8mm indicator light so I can see the CB when it's off and it's dark. Less I have to fumble around in the dark to see the ***** and what not.

Nice! The ones I got prior that were indicated for a lifted blazer, are not, so those are going on my parents jimmy, and the old man paid for these instead of paying me for them lol. Been over a year for the front, and about a year for the back. The blazer hasn't been a dd for a while, so wasn't as important lol...

Thats a handy little thing! Nice job with your coin switches too! I'm a little jealous of your floor shifter tho! Looking into a kit to make my three button a manual shifter.
