driver door pins....2nd set since i owned it....man.

 

well wasnt today but over the last few weeks I have acomplished this

Trimmed my front bumper more and relized that my oil filter was exposed so I fabbed up this skid plate for it out of some quarter inch thick dimond plate that i had laying around




I also removed my hids from my tail light housings a few weeks ago and i needed more light for backing up at night. So i took a factory fog light from god knows what that appered on my toolbox at school a a few months ago and made this. I had to order a h10 hid bulb and this is how it turned out

It has a really nice spread beam so i can see everything that is behind me


factory reverse lights




factory reverse lights and hid reverse lights

 

Did the throttle blade mod, well worth it imo.

 

Need to replace distributor cap and rotor, fix a hole in exhaust pipe, till new ones come, hook up my fog lights, change blower motor. Ahh maintenance just can't afford to get to the fun things...lol Oh yeah, try to pop the dent out of my rear quarter.

 

i bought brakes for my dads s10 pick up and i also bought a pitman and idler arm for my s10 blazer. hopefully it wont rain tomorrow so we could install them.

 

Just replaced my passenger front wheel bearing hub assembly it took me more than 4 hours. first, i couldnt get the upper bolt on the brake caliper n then i put the metal thing that goes behind the wheel bearing hub so i have to remove it again put it back. it was pain in the butt.

 

yea my dad went true 2 sets of pins for his s10 pickup . they are made so cheap that the bearings for the pin break

 

went to menards and loaded up 10, 40-pound bags of topsoil, normally id take my ranger for this, but it was all 3 of us today and even with a extended cab theres not much room for that 3rd passenger. wanted to see how the blazer would do with a 400 pound payload, not too bad, took a little longer shifting gears and when stopping i could tell i was heavier. back axle was almost on the bumpstops.

 

Replaced drivers side lower balljoint

 

Really? Sounds like you need shackles or the better way are add-a-leaf in the rear. I've known for a long time blazers get sagging rears after awhile.
I tow my boats, 1 is 3500lb (2250 no gas, gear, people or trailer) give or take & it sags in the rear with the 500lb tongue weight (probably only 250 the way the boat sits on the trailer)
Another is my bass boat thats around 1800lb & a light trailer, but still the rear sags so add-a-leaf or re-arched springs are in my future.
