I'm picturing a device that is a combination walker and tripod...

here is a before pic of the steering wheel. got too dark for an after. Its hard to see but there is grease and dirt all over it. NEVER let a friend borrow your truck UNLESS he wears gloves and/or he is not going to work on anything greasy
  • remove the speaker covers and open up the whole slightly and installed 75 and a quarter inch round speakers in the dash replace the trim panel around the gauges and radio and vents over $300 can you believe that s*** installed a Pioneer receiver and six and a half inch speakers in the doors new power window motor that's enough for today what are you guys think

I replaced my damaged door. I was lucky enough to find one in a junkyard that was the right color, and matches pretty closely.

I went from this:

Almost like it never happened, lol.

Nice.

So what is going on with the panel below the rear-most window?

Thanks. That's armor I made after I dented the rear quarter panel on the other side. I added the bars after breaking both of the rear quarter windows (at different times). It looks all splotchy in the picture because I just finished washing it and it wasn't completely dry yet.

Nice solution! I was concerned, you had mounted shower safety handles to your Blazer.

Is that an external power outlet in the armor too?

Haha... That would be a new one. They are pretty handy to stand on, though, if I need to mess with stuff on the roof. You are correct. That's a plug-in for my onboard battery charger.

I tried that, but pounding all the broken glass back together turned out to be harder than expected. Better to just get a "new" door, lol.
