what have you gotten done on your blazer today?
Installed an Atoto S8 Standard android unit. It's not in the budget right now to put in a "high end" unit, but now he's set up for it if ever I want to upgrade further. It sure cleaned up my dash face for sure. Also added a front camera button and the wiring to the front, but still waiting for the front camera to get here.
Also put in new Cerwin-Vega speakers in the doors to replace the BOSS ones. Now I have Vega's all around and they sound nice AF.

[QUOTE=03blaZeR2;749795]The winch install looks pretty stock to me. Great look.
Nice install!
I've been thinking about installing a CB radio. Any suggestions on how to do it and if you like your radio? I would only use it for monitoring the logging trucks when I'm in the woods.

I installed the CB November of 2020 and it has been great so far. Using it mainly for the weather and the PA though.
Toughest part was making a good place to mount a CB antenna, which I fabricated my own that I made a post for on here a while back.
started off with a four foot Firestik antenna, but it was far too tall to park in the garage so I went to a three foot Firestik and the top just barely touches the garage door. And it looks lower profile yet still give be decent coverage.
I haven't tested distance, but I've been able to pick up anyone at any time pretty much anywhere I go, and the main reason I got this was for basic communications in case something happens where I don't have cell service or the cell service goes out entirely.
Overall it's finding out where to mount the antenna and the radio and running the wires and making sure both have good ground.
Replacing the lower intake gasket is always fun.
Got the switch mount and the new switches in. Now I can see what switch is what at night without fumbling around. Easier to actuate when driving since I can just rest my arm on the door and flip the front spots on and off since those are what I use for high beams.
Switch mount edges are a little rough, but I just wanted it in for now. I'm going to smooth it up and paint the entire trim piece the factory grey so it blends.
Spot and rear light switches are MICTUNING! From Amazon, of course. The DRL and the FOG buttons are Toyota short style push buttons I got on Ebay from "starklights".

How did you make the enclosure for the switches??
